Table Structures and Columns (Data Entry Sheet)

The core of the template is the Data Entry Sheet, which contains a structured table with the following columns:

Formulas Required

The template uses a combination of Excel formulas to automate data processing:

• Total Sale Amount: =IF(Quantity Sold > 0, Quantity Sold * Selling Price per Unit, 0)
• Net Revenue: =Total Sale Amount - IF(ISNUMBER(Commission or Fee), Commission or Fee, 0)
• Sale ID Auto-generation: =CONCATENATE("HOMSALE-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000")) (applies to row 2 and down)
• Monthly Revenue Summary: Uses SUMIFS to aggregate net revenue by month.
• Average Sale Value: =AVERAGEIF(Status, "Completed", Net Revenue)

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight key insights, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Red Highlight (Refunded/Failed): If Status is “Refunded” or “Pending Payment,” the entire row turns yellow/orange.
• Green Highlight (High-Value Sales): Rows where Net Revenue > average net revenue are highlighted in light green.
• Date-Based Trends: Sales from the current month are shaded with a soft blue background.
• Diverging Color Scale (Net Revenue Column): Uses a color scale to show high/low values.
