=IF(A2="", "EVT-"&TEXT(MAX(VALUE(MID(A:A,5,LEN(A:A)))), "000"), A2) - Total Revenue (Dashboard): Uses
=SUMIFS('Events & Clients'!G:G, 'Events & Clients'!H:H, "Completed")to calculate only completed event revenue. - Average Deal Size:
=AVERAGEIF('Events & Clients'!H:H, "Completed", 'Events & Clients'!G:G) - Pipeline Forecast:
=SUM('Sales Pipeline'!J:J)for total weighted sales pipeline value.
Conditional Formatting
- Sales Pipeline: Color scale on "Pipeline Value" column—green for high probability, red for low.
- Status Column (Events & Clients): Use icons (green check, yellow clock, red X) based on status.
- Next Follow-Up Date: Highlight cells where date is today or past due using conditional formatting with rules: "Cell Value" "less than or equal to" =TODAY().
