USFANS: Building a Seller Leaderboard with the Spreadsheet

2025-12-06

Identify your top-performing vendors by tracking key performance metrics.

For any serious USFANS user managing multiple vendors, keeping track of who performs best is crucial for efficiency and quality. A Seller Leaderboard, created within your master spreadsheet, transforms subjective feelings into data-driven decisions. By ranking vendors on critical criteria like accuracy, quality control, and communication, you can easily identify and reward your most reliable partners.

Prerequisites: Your Core Spreadsheet

Before creating the leaderboard, ensure your main USFANS tracking spreadsheet has (at minimum) these columns for each order:

  • Vendor Name
  • Order Accuracy
  • QC Score
  • Communication Score
  • Order Date

Step-by-Step: Creating the Leaderboard

Step 1: Set Up a New Leaderboard Sheet

Within your existing spreadsheet workbook, create a new tab named "Seller Leaderboard". This will be your dedicated summary view.

Step 2: Define Your Vendor List & Metrics

In the new sheet, set up the following columns in Row 1:

Vendor Name Total Orders Avg. Accuracy Score Avg. QC Score Avg. Communication Score Overall Composite Score Rank

Step 3: Use Formulas to Pull and Calculate Data

This is the core functionality. Assuming your data sheet is named "OrderLog":

  • Total Orders:=COUNTIF(OrderLog!B:B, A2)
  • Average Scores:=AVERAGEIF(OrderLog!$B:$B, $A2, OrderLog!C:C)
  • Composite Score:= (C2*0.4)+(D2*0.4)+(E2*0.2)
  • Rank:=RANK(F2, $F$2:$F$50, 0)

Step 4: Sort and Visualize
