Table Structures and Column Definitions (Client Master)

The core of the CRM Tracker is the "Client Master" sheet, which serves as a centralized repository for all client-related data.

Formulas Required

The template uses several dynamic formulas to maintain data integrity and automate tracking:

• Auto-increment Client ID: =IF(A2="", "CLT"&TEXT(COUNTA(A:A),"000"), A2)
  (Assumes 'Client ID' is in column A, and starts from row 2.)
• Status Color Logic: Uses nested IF statements to categorize status for conditional formatting.
• Follow-up Reminder: =IF(NOW() > [Next Follow-up Date], "Overdue", IF([Next Follow-up Date] - NOW() <= 3, "Due Soon", "On Track"))
• Pivot Table Source: All tables are structured as Excel Tables (Ctrl+T) to allow for easy dynamic referencing in the Dashboard.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and immediate insight, the template includes robust conditional formatting rules across key sheets:

• Client Status Column: Color-coded based on status:
  • Green: Active, Closed-Won
  • Yellow: On Hold, In Negotiation, Due Soon
  • Red: Closed-Lost, Overdue Follow-up
• Next Follow-up Date: Highlights cells in red if the date is in the past.
• Age of Record: Applies gradient fill to show how long since first contact (e.g., newer records in blue, older ones gray).
