The standard OrientDig spreadsheet is a powerful starting point, but its true potential is unlocked through customization. By adding columns, applying filters, and implementing smart formulas, you can transform it into a dynamic dashboard for managing seller performance, QC outcomes, and delivery tracking. Here’s how to structure your data for maximum efficiency.
Step 1: Adding Strategic Columns for Categorization
Begin by inserting new columns to capture essential details that drive your analysis. Logical grouping is key.
- Seller Tier:
- QC Status:"Pass", "Minor Issues", "Reject".
- Delivery Priority:"Urgent", "Standard", "Backorder".
- Risk Flag:

Step 3: Building Formula-Based Summaries for KPIs
Automate your reporting with formulas that summarize categorized data. Create a dedicated Summary Section

=COUNTIFS($D$2:$D$500, "Premium")
=(COUNTIF($F$2:$F$500, "Pass") / COUNTA($F$2:$F$500))*100
=IF(AND(G2="New", H2="Reject"), "HIGH RISK", "")
=COUNTIFS($I$2:$I$500, "On Time", $J$2:$J$500, "<>Cancelled") / COUNTA($I$2:$I$500)
