The CRM Tracker Main sheet contains a normalized table structure to support scalability and data integrity. Each row represents a unique customer interaction or lead event. The primary table includes the following columns:

Formulas Required

The following formulas are embedded across the template to ensure automation and data consistency:

• Next Action Due Date = IF(Interaction Type="Call", DATEADD(Date, 3, "days"), IF(Interaction Type="Meeting", DATEADD(Date, 7, "days"), Date+1)) – Dynamically sets follow-up dates based on interaction type.
• Conversion Score Calculation = IF(Status="Closed-Won", 100%, IF(Status="Closed-Lost", 0%, IF(Interaction Type="Call" AND Conversion Score > 60, 85%, (Conversion Score + (DATEDIF(Date, Today(), "d") / 30) * 5)))) – Adjusts score based on time and interaction type.
• Revenue Potential = Revenue Potential (Est.) = Conversion Score × Industry Average Deal Size – Uses a fixed industry average (e.g., $15,000) to compute projected revenue.
• Average Time to Close = AVERAGEIFS(TIME_TO_CLOSE, Status, "Closed-Won") – Measures how long it takes leads to convert.
• Team Activity Count = COUNTIFS(Assigned To, [User Name]) – Tracks workload distribution per team member.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template includes smart visual cues using conditional formatting:

• Status Highlights: Green for "Closed-Won", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Closed-Lost" to improve at-a-glance visibility.
• Due Date Alerts: Cells in the “Next Action Due Date” column turn orange if less than 3 days from due date and red if overdue.
• Conversion Score Thresholds: Any score below 40% is highlighted in light red; scores above 80% are in green with a “High Potential” label.
• Team Workload Heatmap: In the Team Performance sheet, cells with >10 activities turn yellow, and >20 turn red to indicate overburden.
