2026-03-29

Automate summaries to calculate total orders, refund counts, and QC pass rates for better expense tracking.

Manually compiling sales and quality data each month is time-consuming and prone to error. The FishGoo Reporting Spreadsheet is designed to automate this process, giving you clear, actionable insights into your key business metrics. Follow this guide to set up and generate your monthly reports efficiently.

1. Initial Spreadsheet Setup

Ensure your raw data is logged consistently in the designated Raw_Data

  • Order_ID
  • Date
  • Order_Value
  • Refund_Status
  • QC_Status

The Report_Dashboard

2. Automating Your Key Metrics

Total Monthly Orders & Revenue

A SUMIFS formula

Example Formula:=SUMIFS(Raw_Data!C:C, Raw_Data!B:B, ">="&B1, Raw_Data!B:B, "<="&EOMONTH(B1,0))

Refund Count & Rate

A COUNTIFS formula

Example Formula:=COUNTIFS(Raw_Data!B:B, ">="&B1, Raw_Data!B:B, "<="&EOMONTH(B1,0), Raw_Data!D:D, "Yes")

QC Pass Rate

Similar logic calculates the number of QC passes, and the rate is derived against total orders shipped.

Example Formula:=COUNTIFS(Raw_Data!B:B, ">="&B1, Raw_Data!B:B, "<="&EOMONTH(B1,0), Raw_Data!E:E, "Pass")

3. Generating the Final Report

  1. In the Report_DashboardB1.
  2. All summary figures (Totals, Refund Rate, QC Pass Rate) will update automatically.
  3. For a static snapshot, highlight the dashboard area (A1:D6), copy it, and Paste Special → Values
  4. Use this cleaned data to create charts for visual trend analysis.
