A messy spreadsheet is worse than no spreadsheet. This guide covers sorting, filtering, grouping, and color coding so your hipobuy spreadsheet stays organized no matter how many orders you process.
Sort your sheet by the Status column. This groups all pending orders together, all shipped orders together, and all delivered orders together. You instantly see what needs attention.
Use filters to show only orders from this week or this month. This helps you identify recent activity and spot orders that have been stuck too long.
If you use multiple agents, sort by the Agent column. This shows which agent has your most pending orders. You might discover that one agent is consistently slower.
Use consistent colors. Red for problems, yellow for in-progress, green for complete. Apply this to status, profit margins, or any column that needs attention.
In Google Sheets, select the header row, go to Data > Filter views. In Excel, use the Filter button.
Yes. Sort by Status first, then by Date. This shows pending orders in chronological order.
No. Only color columns that need attention. Too many colors create visual noise.
