Table Structures and Data Schema

Sales Pipeline Tracker (Primary Sheet)

This table tracks each sales opportunity from lead generation to closure. The structure supports full lifecycle visibility:

Formulas and Automation

• Opportunity ID Generator: =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd") & "-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")
• Pipeline Value by Stage: Use SUMIF to aggregate values grouped by Stage.
• Weighted Pipeline Value: =Deal Value * (Probability/100)
• Average Close Rate Calculation: =COUNTIF(Status,"Closed Won") / COUNTA(Status) * 100
• Status Alerts: Conditional logic to flag deals overdue for follow-up.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight critical data, the following rules are applied:

• Red fill for opportunities with "Close Date" past today’s date and status not "Closed Lost."
• Green text for deals in "Closed Won" stage.
• Yellow highlights for stages with low probability (<30%) and high deal value.
• Color scale gradient for the "Deal Value" column to visualize size distribution.

Process Documentation Integration

The template embeds process documentation directly into the workflow. The Process Documentation Log sheet records:

• Date of change or update
• Type of process change (e.g., revised approval steps)
• Description and rationale
• Person responsible and approval status
