Sheet Names & Structure Overview

• Orders Master (Primary Data Sheet): Central repository for all order records.
• Performance Summary: Aggregated metrics derived from the Orders Master.
• Delivery Timeline Analysis: Tracks time-to-delivery and delays by region or product.
• Customer Feedback (Optional): Links order performance with customer ratings and complaints.
• Dashboard View: Visual summary of key performance indicators (KPIs).

Table Structures & Columns

The primary table in the Orders Master sheet is structured as follows:

All data types are clearly defined: dates use standard date format (YYYY-MM-DD), quantities and amounts are numeric, status is categorical with a drop-down list, and customer ratings are integer values from 1 to 5.

Formulas Required

The template includes dynamic formulas to ensure real-time updates:

• Order Duration (Days): =DATEDIF([Date Ordered], [Date Delivered], "D") – calculates days from order to delivery.
• On-Time Delivery Rate: =COUNTIFS(Status,"Delivered", Delivery Timeline, "<=10") / COUNTIF(Status,"Delivered") — percentage of orders delivered within 10 business days.
• Revenue by Category: =SUMIFS(Revenue Column, Product Category, [Category]) — used in Performance Summary sheet.
• Order Cancellation Rate: =COUNTIFS(Status,"Canceled") / COUNTA(Order ID) — tracks failure rate.
• Average Delivery Time (per region): =AVERAGEIF(Delivery Region, [Region], Days to Deliver) — used in Delivery Timeline Analysis.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve data interpretability and highlight performance anomalies:

• Status Column (Red/Yellow/Green): - Red: "Canceled" or "Delayed (over 15 days)" - Yellow: "In Transit" or delivery overdue by 3–7 days - Green: "Delivered" within expected timeframe
• Delivery Duration (Highlight Outliers): Cells where duration > 20 days turn orange.
• Customer Ratings: - Green for ratings ≥4, Yellow for 3, Red for ≤2 to flag dissatisfaction.
