CNFANS: How to Automate Seller Ratings Using Spreadsheet Formulas
Create Auto-Calculating Performance Scores Based on Reliability and Refund Ratios
In the competitive world of e-commerce and dropshipping, monitoring seller performance is crucial for maintaining business quality. CNFANS sellers can significantly improve their operational efficiency by implementing automated rating systems using simple spreadsheet formulas. This guide will show you how to create a self-calculating performance dashboard that evaluates sellers based on their reliability and refund ratios.
What You'll Need
- Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel
- Basic seller performance data (orders completed, orders refunded, etc.)
- Fundamental understanding of spreadsheet formulas
Setting Up Your Automated Rating System
Step 1: Data Structure
Organize your data with the following columns:
| Seller Name | Total Orders | Completed Orders | Refunded Orders | Reliability Ratio | Refund Ratio | Performance Score |
|---|
Step 2: Calculate Reliability Ratio
The reliability ratio measures how consistently a seller fulfills orders:
=IF(B2>0, C2/B2, 0)
Where B2 is Total Orders and C2 is Completed Orders.
Step 3: Calculate Refund Ratio
The refund ratio tracks the percentage of orders refunded:
=IF(B2>0, D2/B2, 0)
Where B2 is Total Orders and D2 is Refunded Orders.
Step 4: Create Combined Performance Score
Combine both metrics into a single performance score (0-100 scale):
=(E2*(1-F2))*100
Where E2 is Reliability Ratio and F2 is Refund Ratio.
