Essential Formulas

The template uses a range of formulas to ensure accuracy and automation:

  • Auto-incrementing Order ID: =CONCAT("ORD-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(COUNTA(A:A), "000"))
  • Subtotal Calculation: =Quantity * Unit Price
  • Expected Delivery Date: =Date Ordered + VLOOKUP(Supplier, Suppliers Master!A:D, 4, FALSE)
  • Status Color Indicator (Formula in Dashboard): Uses nested IF with AND/OR conditions to determine color-coded status.
  • Total Spend by Department: =SUMIFS(Total Cost Column, Department Column, "IT")
  • On-Time Delivery Rate: =COUNTIF(Status Range, "Delivered") / COUNTA(Status Range) * 100

Conditional Formatting Rules

The following rules enhance readability and highlight critical data:

  • Overdue Deliveries: If Actual Delivery Date > Expected Delivery Date, apply red fill with dark red text.
  • Pending Orders (more than 5 days old): Yellow highlight for orders submitted over 5 days ago without status update.
  • High-Cost Items: Any item with Total Cost > $100 gets a bold, blue font.
  • Status Column: Color-coding: Green = Delivered, Amber = Shipped, Red = Cancelled/Overdue.
