Sheet Structure

The workbook contains three primary sheets:

1. Daily Sales Log – The core tracking sheet for daily transactions.
2. Sales Performance Dashboard – A dynamic summary view with charts, KPIs, and performance trends.
3. Education Planning Calendar – A planning and forecasting tool that links sales data to upcoming course schedules and student intake goals.

Daily Sales Log: Table Structure & Columns

The Daily Sales Log is where all transactional data is recorded on a daily basis. Each row represents a single sale or enrollment opportunity, with the following columns:

Formulas Required in Daily Sales Log

The template includes the following essential formulas:

• Sales ID Auto-Generation: =IF(A2="", "", "SALE-" & TEXT(COUNTA($A$2:$A$1000)+1, "000")) – Ensures unique IDs even if rows are deleted.
• Net Revenue Calculation: =D2*(1-E2) in the Net Revenue column (assuming Original Price is in D, Discount in E).
• Sales Count by Date: Use COUNTIF functions for daily volume reports.
• Pipeline Value by Status: Use SUMIFS to total net revenue by enrollment status.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data readability and highlight key insights, apply the following conditional formatting rules:

• Overdue Follow-Ups: Highlight "Yes" in the Follow-Up Required column with red background.
• High-Value Sales: If Net Revenue > $1000, apply green fill to emphasize major transactions.
• Sales by Channel: Use color scales on the Sales Channel column for visual trend spotting (e.g., blue for website, orange for referrals).
• Declining Trends: Highlight cells in Net Revenue if they drop by more than 20% from previous day using a formula-based rule.
