- 4. Client Portfolio Analysis: Detailed breakdown of client segments by tier (e.g., Enterprise, Mid-Market), contract value, and renewal likelihood.
- 5. Historical Performance (Data Source): The source data sheet containing all raw historical financial information used for modeling and charting.
- 6. Instructions & Guidelines: A help guide explaining how to use the dashboard, update data, interpret charts, and maintain consistency.

=SUMIFS('Revenue Forecasting'!$G:$G, 'Revenue Forecasting'!$A:$A, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-12,1), 'Revenue Forecasting'!$A:$A, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
— Calculates 12-month rolling MRR from the Revenue Forecasting sheet.
=SUMPRODUCT((Growth_Initiatives_Tracker!$D:$D>0)*(Growth_Initiatives_Tracker!$E:$E))/SUM(Growth_Initiatives_Tracker!$D:$D)
— Calculates the average projected ROI across all initiatives.
=IF(Overview_Dashboard!$B2 > 0, (Overview_Dashboard!$B2 - Overview_Dashboard!$A2)/ABS(Overview_Dashboard!$A2), 0)
— Computes MoM growth rate in the Overview Dashboard.
