Formulas Required for Growth Planning Insights
- Auto-Generate ID:
=CONCATENATE("L-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "0000"))— Auto-generates unique IDs in the Leads sheet. - Pipeline Value: In the Dashboard:
=SUMIFS(Leads!$F:$F, Leads!$E:$E, ">="&TODAY(), Leads!$E:$E, "<"&(TODAY()+30))— Calculates expected revenue within next 30 days. - Conversion Rate:
=COUNTIF(Leads!$E:$E,"Closed Won") / COUNTA(Leads!$C:$C)— Measures overall sales efficiency. - Sales Cycle Duration:
=IF(ISBLANK([@[Close Date]]), TODAY()-[@[Created Date]], [@[Close Date]]-[@[Created Date]])— Tracks average time from lead to close. - Status Color Code: Used in conditional formatting (see below).
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Pipeline Stage Colors: Apply color scales: Red = New Lead, Yellow = Qualified, Green = Closed Won.
- Overdue Follow-Ups: Highlight any "Next Follow-Up Date" that is earlier than today with bright red fill.
- Risk Indicators: If a lead has been stagnant in the same stage for more than 14 days, apply yellow highlight to emphasize need for re-engagement.
- Deal Value Gradient: Use color scales (green-yellow-red) based on estimated deal value to visualize high-potential opportunities.
