In the world of cross-border sourcing and shipping, data often exists in frustrating silos. The true path to optimization lies in unification. This guide demonstrates how to leverage your MyCNBox Spreadsheet
Effective analysis rests on three interconnected pillars: Create linked worksheets or tables within a single workbook: Use formulas to create actionable insights: Transform integrated data into clear visuals. Plot products on a graph with weight on the X-axis and cost on the Y-axis. This instantly highlights heavy, low-cost items (shipping optimizers) versus light, high-cost items (value focus). A pie or bar chart showing the proportion of total inventory cost tied to RejectedNeeds Review
Create a key metric cell: = Total Parquet Shipping Cost / Total Product Value. Track this ratio over time to measure optimization success. By integrating cost, QC, and weight in your MyCNBox Spreadsheet, you move from reactive tracking to proactive strategy. You can: The unified spreadsheet becomes your central command for smarter spending and leaner shipping.The Core Data Triad
Integration Blueprint: Building Your Master Sheet
1. Structuring Your Data Tables

2. Key Formulas for Integration
// Cost per Gram/Kg: =Unit_Cost / (Item_Weight/1000)
// QC-Filtered Cost Sum: =SUMIFS(Cost_Column, QC_Status_Column, "Approved")
// Volumetric Weight Calc: =(Length*Width*Height)/5000 (or divisor for your region)Visualizing Efficiency: Charts & Dashboards
