Formulas Required

This template leverages Excel's powerful formula engine to ensure accuracy and automation:

Order ID Generation: =DATEVALUE(TODAY()) & "-" & TEXT(ROW(A1), "00") (placed in first row of Orders List).
Due Date Comparison (Color Flag): =IF(DueDate – used in conditional formatting.


    Priority-Based Summary Count: 
        =COUNTIFS(Priority, "High") to count urgent orders.
    Total Orders by Status: 
        =SUMPRODUCT((Status="Pending")*1) – used in the Reports sheet.
    Auto-Update Completion Date: 
        When status is changed to "Completed", a formula triggers completion date entry with:
        =IF(AND(Status="Completed", ActualCompletionDate=""), TODAY(), ActualCompletionDate).
    Team Member Count by Role: 
        Uses COUNTIFS to display the number of members in each role.
