This sheet provides an instant snapshot of overall sales performance. It pulls data from the Sales Log using dynamic formulas and visualizes it through simple charts and key metrics.

• Total Sales Volume (Monthly): Sum of all Sale Amounts per month.
• Average Deal Size: Average of Sale Amounts.
• Total Commissions Paid: Sum of Commission Earned column.
• Sales Conversion Rate (%): (Won deals / Total deals) × 100.

• Monthly totals for Sale Amount, Commission Earned, and number of deals.
• Comparisons with the previous month (growth/decline %).
• Bar chart showing monthly sales trends.

Formulas Required

The template uses standard Excel formulas to maintain data accuracy and automate calculations:

• Commission Earned ($): =D2*E2/100
• Deal Size Category: =IF(D2<1000,"Small",IF(D2<5000,"Medium","Large"))
• Total Sales Volume (by month): =SUMIFS(SalesLog!D:D, SalesLog!A:A, ">"&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,1), SalesLog!A:A, "<"&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
• Conversion Rate: =COUNTIF(SalesLog!H:H,"Won")/COUNTA(SalesLog!H:H)*100
• Top Sales Rep by Volume: =INDEX(SalesLog!B:B,MATCH(MAX(SalesLog!D:D),SalesLog!D:D,0))

• High-Value Deals (> $5,000): Light green fill with dark text.
• Lost Deals: Red background to draw attention.
