Formulas Required for KPI Monitoring & Automation

The template includes advanced Excel formulas to automate data aggregation and KPI calculation across sheets:

• =SUMIFS(DailySalesTracker[Sale Amount], DailySalesTracker[Status], "Won", DailySalesTracker[Date of Sale], ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1), DailySalesTracker[Date of Sale], "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
  → Calculates current month’s total revenue from won deals.
• =IFERROR(AVERAGEIFS(DailySalesTracker[Sale Amount], DailySalesTracker[Status], "Won"), 0)
  → Computes average deal size for closed-won opportunities.
• =COUNTIFS(DailySalesTracker[Status], "Won")
  → Counts total number of closed sales this month.
• =IF(SUM(Overview!B2:B12) >= Overview!C2, "Met", IF(SUM(Overview!B2:B12) >= Overview!C2*0.9, "Near", "Behind"))
  → Conditional target achievement status (e.g., Met, Near, Behind).
• =VLOOKUP(A4, TeamPerformanceSummary!$A$2:$D$100, 3, FALSE)
  → Pulls team member performance scores dynamically.
