Table Structures and Columns

Sheet: Client Details

This is the central database for all client records. All other sheets reference this table using structured references.

Formulas Required (Key Examples)

The template leverages Excel formulas to automate insights and calculations across sheets:

• =COUNTIF(ClientDetails[Status], "Active") – Counts active clients for dashboard KPIs.
• =IF(DATEDIF([@StartDate], TODAY(), "M") > 12, "Renewal Risk", "") – Flags clients overdue for renewal review.
• =AVERAGEIFS(ServiceActivitiesLog[Response Time], ServiceActivitiesLog[Priority], "High") – Calculates average response time for high-priority issues.
• =VLOOKUP(ClientID, ClientDetails, 3, FALSE) – Pulls client name into the Service Activities Log dynamically.
• =COUNTIFS(ClientDetails[Status], "Active", ClientDetails[Region], "North America") – Enables regional breakdowns in reporting.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual data interpretation, the following rules are pre-applied:

• Client Status: Green background for “Active”, yellow for “On Hold”, red for “Inactive”.
• Sales Stage: Color-coded progress bar from Blue (Prospecting) to Green (Closed-Won).
• SLA Compliance: Red text if response time exceeds 48 hours; green if under 24 hours.
• Renewal Date: Highlight in orange if within the next 30 days.

User Instructions for Team Use

This template is designed for Team Use, so collaboration features are critical:

• Data Entry: Only designated team members should edit the Client Details and Service Activities Log.
