Formulas Required

To maintain automation and accuracy, the following formulas are embedded:

• =IF(AND(ISDATE([@Date of Event]), [@Status]="Confirmed"), "Active", IF([@Status]="Cancelled", "Lost", "Pending")) – Dynamically assigns event status.
• =VLOOKUP([@Event Type], Event Catalog!$A$2:$D$50, 2, FALSE) – Pulls base pricing from the catalog sheet.
• =[@Final Contract Value] * [@Commission Rate] – Automatically calculates commission earned.
• =COUNTIF(Sales Tracker[Sales Stage], "Confirmed") – Used in dashboard to count confirmed deals.
• =AVERAGEIFS(Sales Tracker[Final Contract Value], Sales Tracker[Sales Stage], "Confirmed") – Calculates average deal size for closed sales.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template implements advanced conditional formatting to highlight key performance indicators:

• Red Fill (Text Color: White): If a deal is "Cancelled" or if the final contract value is below 10% of the initial quote.
• Green Highlight: For deals marked as "Confirmed" and exceeding their initial quote by 15% or more.
• Yellow Gradient (2-color): Sales stages in "Negotiation" that have been pending for more than 7 days.
• Color Scale: Final Contract Value column uses a red-to-green scale to visualize deal size distribution.
