Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of lookup, aggregation, and logical functions to automate insights:

• SUMIFS & COUNTIFS: To sum sales volume and count deals by week or person.
• AVERAGEIF: For average deal size by stage or individual.
• COUNTIF with Criteria: To calculate habit completion rate (e.g., count of "✅ Yes" in Habit 1 column).

• CONCATENATE / TEXTJOIN: For dynamic notes or summary messages based on performance.

Conditional Formatting

This enhances visual clarity and highlights trends, anomalies, and habit consistency:

• Sales Volume by Week: Color scale (green to red) for performance vs. target.
• Habit Completion Rate: Traffic light colors (red = <60%, yellow = 60–80%, green = >80%).
• Daily Log: Highlight rows where a habit was missed (e.g., ❌ No) with red font.
• Goal Progress: Color-coded progress bars in the dashboard.

User Instructions

1. Daily Entry: Open Daily Sales Log. Fill in the date, client, deal value, and activity type. Check habits if completed (add time stamp for accountability).
2. Weekly Review: Go to Weekly Summary & Habit Tracker. Formulas auto-populate data every Monday.
3. Analyze Trends: Use the Monthly Performance Dashboard to assess overall performance, spot patterns, and identify habit gaps.
4. Adjust Habits: If a habit has low completion rate (<60%), review notes in the Daily Log to identify root causes (e.g., time management).
