Table Structures & Data Types

The core data table in the CRM Data Entry (Raw) sheet follows a relational structure with the following columns and data types:

Formulas Required

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas to automate key calculations and insights:

• =IF(AND(Status="Closed Won", Priority Level="High"), "High Value Win", ""): Flags high-value closed deals for follow-up analysis.
• =COUNTIFS(Type,"Sales Call", Status,"Open"): Counts the number of open sales calls per day or week.
• =SUMIFS(Deal Value, Status, "Closed Won"): Calculates total revenue from won deals.
• =VLOOKUP(Customer ID, Lookup Table, 2, FALSE): Pulls additional company data (e.g., industry type) from a secondary table.
• =TEXT(DATEVALUE("Date & Time"), "MMM-YY"): Formats dates for monthly trend reports.
• =COUNTA(Notes): Identifies interactions with detailed notes to assess engagement quality.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues are implemented throughout the template using conditional formatting to highlight critical data:

• Status Column (Red/Yellow/Green): Red for "Closed Lost", Yellow for "Pending", Green for "Closed Won".
• Priority Level (Color Scale): High = Red, Medium = Yellow, Low = Green.
• Date Range Highlighting: Rows with interactions in the past 7 days are highlighted in orange to emphasize recent activity.
• Deals Over $10K: Cells with "Deal Value" > $10,000 are highlighted in blue for visibility.
• Missing Fields: Any row where "Email" or "Phone" is blank turns white with a red border to flag incomplete entries.
