Formulas and Automation
- Auto-Quarter Detection: Use
=TEXT(A2,"Q")&YEAR(A2)in the "Quarter" column to dynamically label entries by quarter based on the transaction date. - Unique Process Step ID Generation:
=CONCATENATE(TEXT(A2,"Q"),YEAR(A2),"-",TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))ensures unique identifiers (e.g., Q1-2024-001). - Sales Rep Performance Summary: Use
SUMIFSandCOUNTIFSacross the Sales Data Entry sheet to tally total deals, value, and conversion rates by rep. - Status Tracking: Apply conditional logic to flag overdue follow-ups:
=IF(TODAY()>[Next Follow-Up Date], "Overdue", "On Track"). - Dashboard Linking: Use
VLOOKUP,XLOOKUP, or Power Query (if enabled) to pull data into the summary dashboard.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Follow-Ups: Highlight rows where "Next Follow-Up Date" is past today’s date with a red background.
- Status Indicators: Use green for "Closed-Won", yellow for "Negotiation", and red for "Closed-Lost".
- Sales Performance: Apply color scales to Deal Value column to visualize high vs. low-value sales.
- Process Step Age: Flag documentation entries older than 14 days with an orange highlight.
