For power users, the default MyCNBox spreadsheet is just a starting point. By adding custom columns to track key metrics like seller performance, parcel weight, and refund history, you can transform it into a finely tuned tool that mirrors your unique decision-making process. This guide walks you through implementing these advanced fields.
1. Integrating a Seller Score Column
Tracking seller reliability directly in your spreadsheet prevents future issues and helps identify trusted partners.
- Column Header:Seller_ScoreSeller_Rating.
- Data Input:
- Communication response time.
- Item accuracy vs. description.
- Shipping speed from the seller's location to the agent.
2. Implementing Weight & Shipping Cost Tracking
Accurate weight logs are crucial for predicting final shipping costs and reconciling agent quotes.
- Column Structure:
Est_Weight_gAct_Weight_gWeight_Diff_g
Example Formula for 'Weight_Diff_g':
=IF(ISNUMBER(C2), C2-B2, "") // Where C2 is Act_Weight_g, B2 is Est_Weight_g
This highlights estimation accuracy. You can add another column, Reconciliation_Notes, to log any disputes or adjustments with the agent.
3. Creating a Refund & Dispute Log Column
A systematic refund log turns past issues into actionable data for future purchases.
- Column Header:Refund_StatusDispute_Log.
- Standardized Entries:
- No Issue
- Requested
- Processing
- Completed
- Rejected
Request_Date, Resolution_Date, and Reason
Tailoring to Your Personal Workflow
The real power lies in connecting these columns to create an interactive dashboard.
- Filters & Sorting:Seller_ScoreRefund_Status
- Dashboard Summary:COUNTIFAVERAGE
- Visualization:
By moving beyond basic tracking to incorporate seller scores, weight analytics, and refund logs, your MyCNBox spreadsheet evolves from a passive list into a dynamic management console. Start with one new column, integrate the formulas, and gradually build a system that provides clarity, saves money, and streamlines your entire purchasing workflow.
