Table Structures and Columns (Data Types)

The core of this template is the structured data entry system that ensures accuracy and ease of analysis. Below are detailed table descriptions:

Sheet 1: Employee Dashboard (Employee View)

This sheet presents a high-level view for employees to monitor their performance at a glance. Key components include:

• Personal KPI Summary: Displays current month's total sales, target progress, number of deals closed, average deal size.

Sheet 3: Monthly Performance Summary

• Average Deal Size
• Win Rate (%) = Closed-Won / Total Deals × 100

Formulas Required

The template utilizes powerful Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain data integrity:

• IF & AND Logic for Status:
  =IF(OR(SalesStage="Closed-Won", SalesStage="Closed-Lost"), SalesStage, "In Progress")
• Sumif to Total Deals by Stage:
  =SUMIF(SalesActivityLog!$D:$D, "Closed-Won", SalesActivityLog!$F:$F)
• Average Calculation:
  =AVERAGEIF(SalesActivityLog!$D:$D, "Closed-Won", SalesActivityLog!$F:$F)
• Percentage Completion:
  =MIN(1, SUMIFS(SalesActivityLog!$F:$F, SalesActivityLog!$D:$D, "Closed-Won") / MonthlyTarget) (where MonthlyTarget is input by employee)

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and quick decision-making:

• Deal Value Highlighting:
  Red if below £500; Yellow if between £500–£1,500; Green if above £1,500.
• Sales Stage Color Coding:
  Purple for 'Prospecting', Blue for 'Meeting Scheduled', Orange for 'Proposal Sent', Red for 'Closed-Lost'. Green indicates 'Closed-Won'.
