Key Formulas for Automation and KPI Monitoring

To support real-time KPI Monitoring, the following formulas are embedded throughout the template:

• Next Follow-up Date (in CRM Tracker): =IF(Stage="Prospecting", TODAY()+7, IF(Stage="Proposal Sent", TODAY()+14, IF(Stage="Negotiation", TODAY()+5, "N/A")))
• Days Since Last Contact: =TODAY()-[Last Contact Date] (Applied in a helper column)
• Total Pipeline Value (Dashboard): =SUMIFS(CRM_Tracker!F:F, CRM_Tracker!E:E,"<>Closed-Lost")
• Conversion Rate (KPI Metrics Sheet): =IFERROR((COUNTIF(CRM_Tracker!E:E,"Closed-Won")/COUNTA(CRM_Tracker!E:E))*100, 0)&"%"
• Monthly Revenue Forecast (Monthly Summary): =SUMIFS(CRM_Tracker!F:F, CRM_Tracker!A:A, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), CRM_Tracker!A:A, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))

Conditional Formatting for Visual Clarity

To enhance KPI Monitoring at a glance, conditional formatting is applied to highlight critical data points:

• Stage Column: Color-coded cells (e.g., red for "Closed-Lost", green for "Closed-Won").
• Next Follow-up Date: Yellow background if due within 2 days; red if overdue.
• Deal Value ($): Gradient fill to visualize higher-value deals.
