Table Structure in Sales Tracker Sheet

Formulas Required for Automation

This template uses built-in Excel formulas to automate tracking and analysis:

• Status Duration (Days): =IF([@Status]="Enrolled", [@[Conversion Date]] - [@Date Created], TODAY() - [@Date Created]) – Tracks how long a lead has been in the pipeline.
• Conversion Rate: =COUNTIF(Sales Tracker[Status], "Enrolled") / COUNTA(Sales Tracker[Lead ID]) – Calculated dynamically on the Dashboard sheet.
• Monthly Sales Target Progress: Uses SUMIFS to calculate monthly revenue earned vs. target (based on Goals & Targets sheet).
• Aging Analysis: Conditional formula to color-code leads based on how long they’ve been stagnant in a status (e.g., red if >30 days in "Follow-up Scheduled").
• Next Action Reminder: Formula to flag records where Next Action Date is within 7 days: =IF([@[Next Action Date]] - TODAY() <= 7, "ACTION REQUIRED", "").

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visual clarity and highlight urgent tasks or performance trends:

• Status Color Coding: Green for "Enrolled," Yellow for "Offer Sent," Red for "Declined," Orange for leads older than 30 days with no activity.
• Sales Value Gradient: Data bars applied to the Sales Value column to visually compare revenue contributions.
Next Action Reminder: Font color turns red and bold if the next action is due within 3 days.
• Pipeline Aging: Rows with leads older than 45 days in "Meeting Held" status are highlighted in light red background.
