Key Formulas

The template uses advanced Excel functions to automate calculations and enhance reporting:

• Net Revenue: =IF(DISCOUNT_APPLIED="Yes", ENROLLMENT_PRICE - DISCOUNT_AMOUNT, ENROLLMENT_PRICE)
• Lead Score (automated): Uses weighted factors (e.g., response time, number of visits, demo attended):
  =IF(STATUS="Confirmed", 10,
   IF(DATE_INQUIRY <= TODAY()-14, 3,
   IF(NUMBER_OF_CONTACTS>2, 5, IF(DEMO_ATTENDED=TRUE, 7, 2))))
• Conversion Rate by Source:
  =COUNTIFS(STATUS_RANGE,"Confirmed") / COUNTIFS(SOURCE_RANGE,"Website")
• Monthly Revenue Forecast:
  Uses a combination of AVERAGE, TREND, and FORECAST functions based on historical data.
