2. Customer Growth Log

Formulas Required

The template incorporates dynamic formulas to automate calculations and insights:

• Total Due ($): =Invoice Amount + Tax Amount
• Tax Amount ($): =Invoice Amount * (Tax Rate / 100)
• Week Number: =WEEKNUM(Date Issued, 2) (ISO week number)
• Paid Revenue (Weekly Total): =SUMIF(Paid Status, "Paid", Total Due ($))
• Growth Initiative Breakdown: Use SUMIFS to categorize revenue by Growth Initiative Tag.
• Churn Risk Score: Formula based on payment delays and invoice history (e.g., =IF(ISBLANK(First Invoice ID), 0, IF(Payment Due Date < TODAY(), 80, 30)))

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data clarity and alert users to key events:

• Overdue Invoices: Highlight in red if Payment Due Date is earlier than TODAY() and Paid Status ≠ "Paid".
• Pending Invoices (High Value): Yellow background for invoices > $5,000 with status "Pending".
• Growth Initiative Tags: Color-code cells by tag: Blue for New Client Acquisition, Green for Market Expansion.
