Trying to calculate On Time delivery

I have a table that holds shipment data, Ship to, Reference #, Due Date, Ship Date, and then a formula field that returns "Yes" if the the the Ship Date is less than or equal to the Due Date and "No"...

    One way to do this is to make a formula which calculates to 1 if the shipment was on time and 0 if it was not on time. Set the field type to be percent.

     

    Then you can run a summary report to summarize your orders by say week or months and do an average of that field.

Thanks Mark, this worked great! 

To dive into this further, the data I pulled was on a line by line basis where as a shipment may have multiple lines and each line could ship separately against the same due date. So there are instances where some lines on a shipment shipped on time but one not have made it out on time, which technically makes the overall shipment not on-time. When I was doing it on a spread sheet I would use a pivot table to group the shipment #'s and calculate on Ship Date looking for the Max Date. Can I do something similar in a summary report to get the On-time percentage at the overall Reference # level?

... can you tell me if you have any kind of a relationship?  Like One Reference # has many Line Items?  Also how many records in your line items table?
