Table Structure and Data Columns (Sales Tracker Sheet)

The primary table in the Sales Tracker sheet follows a standardized format with 14 essential columns. All data types are clearly defined to ensure accuracy and consistency across all entries.

Formulas Required for Automation and Intelligence

The template leverages several Excel formulas to automate calculations and provide real-time insights:

• Conversion Status (Column K): =IF(OR(Sales_Stage="Closed-Won", Sales_Stage="Closed-Lost"), "Won", IF(ISBLANK(Enrollment_Date), "In Progress", "Won"))
• Pipeline Value (Column L): =IF(OR(Sales_Stage="Lead", Sales_Stage="Qualification", Sales_Stage="Proposal Sent", Sales_Stage="Negotiation"), Contract_Value, 0)
• Days in Stage (Column M): =IF(ISBLANK(Last_Follow_up), TODAY()-Date_Contracted, TODAY()-Last_Follow_up)
• Total Pipeline Value (Dashboard Cell B4): =SUM(Sales_Tracker!L:L)
• Win Rate (%): =COUNTIF(Sales_Tracker!K:K, "Won") / COUNTA(Sales_Tracker!K:K) * 100

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual tracking and highlight critical data points:

• Sales Stage Column (F): Color-coded with a gradient—Red for "Closed-Lost", Orange for "Negotiation", Yellow for "Proposal Sent", Green for "Closed-Won".
• Pipeline Value (Column L): Highlight values above $10,000 in bold blue text.
• Days in Stage (Column M): Red background if > 30 days without follow-up.
• Enrollment Date: Green fill if filled within the last 7 days (indicating recent conversion).
• Contract Value ($): Conditional formatting to show bar graphs inside cells for visual trend comparison.
