To maintain data integrity and automate reporting, the following formulas are implemented:

- On-Time Delivery Flag: Automatically marks deliveries that were completed within the expected timeframe.

- Status Column: Red for "Cancelled", Amber for "Delayed", Green for "Delivered", Blue for "In Progress".

- Days to Deliver: >10 days highlighted in red; ≤5 days in green.
- KPIs on Dashboard: Green arrows for positive growth, red for decline.
