Formulas Required

The template leverages Excel formulas to automate key financial and tracking metrics:

• Forecast Variance (%) in Monthly Summary Sheet: `=IF(B2=0,0,(C2-B2)/B2)`
• Avg. Deal Size: `=IF(D3>0,D3/E3,0)` (where D3 = total revenue, E3 = number of active deals)
• Running Total of Pipeline Value: In Customer Pipeline sheet: `=SUMIF($E$2:$E$100,"<="&F2,$G$2:$G$100)`
• Team Activity Count by Type: Uses `COUNTIFS()` to filter entries by action type.
• Dynamic Revenue Summary: `=SUMIFS(Pipeline!$G:$G, Pipeline!$C:$C,"Won", Pipeline!$F:$F, ">="&Today()-30)`

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Deal Value Highlighting: Cells in "Expected Value" column where value > €50,000 are highlighted in yellow.
• Staged Deals: When the stage is "Closed Won", cells turn green; when "At Risk", turn red.
• Forecast vs. Actuals: If variance exceeds 15%, background turns orange to signal attention needed.
• Pipeline Aging: Deals with forecast close date more than 30 days away are shaded in light gray.
