=SUMPRODUCT(--(OrdersTracker[Actual Delivery Date] - Strategic Objective Summary: Uses
SUMIFSto total order values by each strategic goal (e.g., "Expand into APAC"). Example:=SUMIFS(OrdersTracker[Order Value ($)], OrdersTracker[Strategic Objective], "APAC Expansion") - Overdue Status Flag: Uses conditional logic in a helper column:
=IF(AND([Status]<>"Delivered", [Target Delivery Date] - Team Workload Counter: Counts number of active orders per team member using
COUNTIFS.
