Table Structures & Data Organization

All tables are designed as Excel Tables (using Ctrl+T) to enable dynamic filtering, structured references, and auto-expansion of data rows.

1. Sales Log (Main Tracking Table)

2. KPI Dashboard (Compact Summary)

This sheet contains a concise, at-a-glance view of performance metrics:

• Total Deals Open: Counts entries where Status ≠ "Won" or "Lost"
• Total Revenue Forecasted: SUM of Deal Size for all open deals
• Win Rate (%): (Closed-Won / Total Closed) × 100
• Average Deal Size: AVERAGE of Deal Size for closed deals
• Last 30-Day Activity: Sparkline showing daily deal entries over the past month

3. Client Overview (Per-Client Summary)

A dynamic table that groups data by Client Name, summarizing:

• Total number of active deals per client
• Sum of deal sizes for open and closed deals
• Last activity date with the client
• Current status trend (e.g., "Growing", "Stable", "Declining") using conditional formatting icons

Formulas Required

All formulas are designed for ease of use and automatic recalculations.

// In 'Sales Log' → Status Column:
=IF(OR([@Deal Stage]="Closed-Won", [@Deal Stage]="Closed-Lost"), "Won", IF([@Deal Stage]="Prospecting", "Open", "Open"))

// In 'KPI Dashboard' → Total Deals Open:
=COUNTIFS(SalesLog[Status], "<>Won", SalesLog[Status], "<>Lost")

// In 'KPI Dashboard' → Win Rate:
=IF(COUNTIFS(SalesLog[Status], "Won") + COUNTIFS(SalesLog[Status], "Lost") = 0, 0,
   (COUNTIFS(SalesLog[Status], "Won")) / (COUNTIFS(SalesLog[Status], "Won") + COUNTIFS(SalesLog[Status], "Lost")))

// In 'Client Overview' → Total Revenue Per Client:
=SUMIF(ClientOverview[Client Name], [@Name], SalesLog[Deal Size])

// Sparkline in KPI Dashboard for Activity Over Time:
=SPARKLINE(SalesLog[[#All],[Entry Date]], {"type", "column"; "max", MAX(SalesLog[Entry Date]); "min", MIN(SalesLog[Entry Date]); "color1", "#3498db"})

Conditional Formatting

Enhances visual clarity and quick insight:

• Deal Stage Column (Sales Log): Color-coded based on stage using rules:
  • Prospecting → Light Blue
  • Qualification → Yellow
  • Proposal → Light Green
  • Negotiation → Light Orange
  • Closed-Won → Green
  • Closed-Lost → Light Red
• KPI Dashboard: Use data bars for revenue forecast, color scales for win rate (green > 80%, yellow 60–79%, red < 60%)
• Client Overview: Icon sets to show trend direction: ↑ (Growing), → (Stable), ↓ (Declining)
