Priority Level	List: Low, Medium, High (for urgency of delivery)	Used for sorting and alerting critical items.

Formulas Used Across the Template

The template leverages a suite of powerful Excel formulas to automate tracking and analysis:

Auto-Generated Order ID (Column A):
= "STY-" & YEAR(TODAY()) & "-" & TEXT(ROW()-ROW($A$2)+1,"000")
This formula dynamically generates a unique order ID based on the current year and sequential number.
Days Until Delivery (Column F):
=IF([@Status]="Delivered", 0, IF(ISBLANK([@Expected Delivery]), "", [@Expected Delivery]-TODAY()))
Calculates remaining days until delivery. Shows zero if delivered or blank if no expected date.
Overdue Status Flag (Column G):
=IF(AND([@Status]<>"Delivered", [@[Expected Delivery]] Flags orders that are late and not yet delivered.


    Total Spending by Course (Dashboard):

        =SUMIFS([Cost ($)], [Course Code], B2) used in the dashboard for pivot-style reporting.



Conditional Formatting Rules

Dynamic visual feedback is applied via conditional formatting to enhance usability:


    Status Column:

        - "Delivered" → Green fill with checkmark icon

        - "Overdue" → Red background with exclamation icon

        - "Pending" → Yellow highlight
    
    Days Until Delivery:

        - Less than 3 days: Red text and bold

        - Between 3–7 days: Orange text

        - More than 7 days: Green text
    
    Priorities:

        - "High" → Bold red font, dark background

        - "Medium" → Blue border and fill
