Tired of manual calculations for your shipping and quality control data? The MyCNBox spreadsheet template, powered by built-in formulas, transforms raw transaction data into clear, automated financial insights. This guide shows you how to calculate key metrics effortlessly.
1. Setting Up Your Data Structure
Organize your raw data in clear columns for automated processing. Essential columns include:
- Date:
- Item Description:
- Amount (USD):
- QC Status:
- Refund Status:
- Item Description:
Ensure your data starts from a specific row (e.g., Row 2) to allow for a header row.
2. Calculating Total Monthly Spending
Use the Formula Breakdown:SUMIFS
=SUMIFS(C2:C100, A2:A100, ">="&DATE(2023,10,1), A2:A100, "<="&EOMONTH(DATE(2023,10,1),0))
">="&DATE(2023,10,1)) and on or before the last day of October 2023 ("<="&EOMONTH(...)).
3. Determining Average QC Pass Rate
Calculate the percentage of items that passed quality control using COUNTIF.
=COUNTIF(D2:D100, "Pass") / COUNTA(D2:D100)Format the cell as a Percentage. For clarity, you can enhance it:
=ROUND(COUNTIF(D2:D100, "Pass") / COUNTA(D2:D100) * 100, 1) & "%"This formula counts "Pass" entries, divides by the total non-empty QC entries, and presents the result as a rounded percentage.
4. Calculating the Refund Percentage
Similar to the QC rate, determine the financial impact of refunds.
=SUMIF(E2:E100, "Yes", C2:C100) / SUM(C2:C100)Format as a Percentage. This sums the AmountRefund Status
The =IFERROR(SUMIF(E2:E100, "Yes", C2:C100) / SUM(C2:C100), 0)IFERROR
5. Creating a Dynamic Summary Dashboard
Consolidate your key metrics in a summary section at the top of your spreadsheet.
| Metric | Formula | Example Output |
|---|---|---|
| Total October 2023 Spending | =SUMIFS(C:C, A:A, ">="&DATE(2023,10,1), A:A, "<="&EOMONTH(DATE(2023,10,1),0)) |
$1,850.00 |
| Average QC Pass Rate | =COUNTIF(D:D, "Pass")/COUNTA(D:D) |
94.7% |
| Refund Percentage | =SUMIF(E:E, "Yes", C:C)/SUM(C:C) |
2.3% |
