Formulas Required

The template includes several automated calculations to enhance usability and reduce manual effort:

• Weekly Total Revenue (SUM): =SUMIFS(SalesAmount, Date, ">="&StartOfWeek, Date, "<="&EndOfWeek) – sums all sales within the weekly period.
• Number of Closed Won Deals: =COUNTIFS(Status,"Closed Won") – counts successful transactions.
• Average Deal Size: =AVERAGEIF(Status,"Closed Won", SalesAmount) – calculates average value of closed wins.
• Percentage of Lost Deals: =SUMIFS(Status,"Closed Lost") / COUNTA(Status) – shows performance ratio.
• Weekly Variance from Goal: = (Actual Revenue - Weekly Target) / Weekly Target – shows deviation percentage.
• Dynamic Total by Region: Uses PivotTable structure with SUMIFS and region-based filters.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template applies intelligent conditional formatting to highlight performance deviations and critical data points:

• Red Highlight for Lost Deals: Cells with “Closed Lost” status are highlighted in red.
• Green Background for Exceeding Goals: Revenue exceeding weekly targets shows a green background with bold text.
• Yellow Alert for Negative Variance: If variance is negative, the cell turns yellow with a warning icon.
• Status Trend Highlighting: Columns show color gradients (blue to orange) based on deal progression over time.
