Integrate formulas to calculate order totals, QC dates, and shipping times for complete oversight.
The Challenge of Manual Tracking
Manually tracking orders from agents like PinguBuysmart, automated spreadsheet
Building Your Automated Tracking Sheet
Start by creating column headers for the essential data points. A core structure includes:
- Item/Link
- Price (¥)
- Quantity
- Domestic Shipping
- Order Total (Calculated)
- Order Date
- QC Estimated Date (Calculated)
- Estimated Shipping Date
- Status
Key Formulas for Automation
The power of this system lies in these key formulas. Assume Price (¥)QuantityDomestic Shipping
1. Automated Order Total
To calculate the total cost per item in your local currency, add a conversion rate cell (e.g., $H$1
=((B2 * C2) + D2) / $H$1
This formula multiplies price by quantity, adds domestic shipping, and converts to your currency.
2. Automated QC Completion Date
If QC typically takes 3 business days after ordering, use the WORKDAYOrder Date
=WORKDAY(F2, 3)
This calculates the expected QC date, excluding weekends.
3. Timeline Integration & Alerts
For a clear overview, calculate days until shipping. Assume Estimated Shipping Date
=IF(H2<>"", H2 - TODAY(), "Pending")
This shows a countdown. Pair with Conditional Formatting
