Sheet Names

• Sales Data Entry: Primary input sheet where all sales transactions are recorded.
• Monthly Summary: Aggregated report of monthly sales performance by region, product, and rep.
• Financial Overview: High-level financial summary with KPIs such as revenue growth, profit margins, and targets vs. actuals.

Table Structures and Data Types

The core table in the Sales Data Entry sheet is structured as follows:

All data types are standardized to ensure consistency:

• Date: Text formatted as YYYY-MM-DD (validates with date picker)
• Transaction ID: Auto-generated in sequence using a formula
• Unit Price & Quantity: Numeric, with currency formatting ($)
• Total Sales: Calculated automatically via formula
• Status: Dropdown list (Pending / Completed) for data consistency
• Product Name & Region: Text fields with limited options from predefined lists

Formulas Required

The following formulas are embedded to automate calculations and enhance accuracy:

• Total Sales per Row: `=D5*E5` (Unit Price × Quantity)
• Monthly Total (in Monthly Summary): `=SUMIFS(Sales!G:G, Sales!B:B, ">= "&DATE(2024,4,1), Sales!B:B,"<= "&DATE(2024,4,30))`
• Profit Margin (in Financial Overview): `=IF(F5>0,(G5-C5)/G5*100,"")` where C5 = Cost of Goods Sold.
• Average Sales per Representative: `=AVERAGEIFS(Sales!H:H, Sales!I:I, "J. Smith")`
• Target Achievement %: `=IF(F6>=F7,100,"")` where F6 = Actual Revenue and F7 = Monthly Target.

Conditional Formatting

To improve data visibility and alert users to trends or anomalies, conditional formatting is applied as follows:

• Green Highlight: Cells where Total Sales exceed 10% of the monthly target (indicating strong performance).
• Yellow Warning: When a sales representative has fewer than 2 transactions in a month (flagging low activity).
• Red Alert: Any transaction with negative total sales or missing required fields.
• Pinned Rows: The first row of each table is highlighted in light blue for easy identification.
