  =SUMIFS(SalesLog[Amount], SalesLog[Date], ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), SalesLog[Date], "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0))
  Dynamically computes revenue for the current month.

  =IF([@Target] = "", "", [@[Actual]] / [@Target])
  Provides a ratio to show progress toward monthly sales target.

  =DIVIDE(COUNTIF(SalesLog[Status], "Won"), COUNTA(SalesLog[Status]), 0)
  Calculates percentage of deals won out of total opportunities.
• Monthly Average Sale Size:
  =AVERAGEIFS(SalesLog[Amount], SalesLog[Date], ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1))
