Formulas Required for Automation and Analysis

This template leverages powerful Excel formulas to automate performance calculations:

• =COUNTIF(Orders!C:C, "Shipped") – Counts total shipped orders.
• =AVERAGEIFS(Orders!M:M, Orders!B:B, ">=01/01/2024", Orders!D:D, "<=" & TODAY()) – Calculates average order value for a date range.
• =IF(COUNTIFS(Orders!E:E, "Late", Orders!B:B, ">=" & DATEVALUE("01/01/2024")) > 0, "Warning: Late Orders Detected", "") – Conditional alert for late deliveries.
• =VLOOKUP(Order ID, Orders Master!A:B, 2, FALSE) – Used to pull customer or product details from the master sheet.
• =NETWORKDAYS(DATEVALUE("01/01/2024"), DATEVALUE("31/12/2024")) – Calculates working days in a period for performance tracking.
• =SUMPRODUCT((Orders!G:G>=DATE(2024,1,1)) * (Orders!F:F="Shipped")) – For advanced filtering and summing metrics.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and highlight performance anomalies:

• Status Column (Orders Master): Cells with "Late" are highlighted in red; "Shipped" in green; "Pending" in yellow.
• Performance Dashboard – % On Time Delivery: If less than 90%, background turns orange; above 95%, turns green.
• Average Delivery Time: Values over 7 days are highlighted in red to indicate delays.
• Late Orders Count: Cells with values >5 display a warning flag using conditional formatting.
• Delivery Date vs. Today: If the delivery date is before today, row turns red and bold.
