TABLE STRUCTURES & COLUMN DETAILS

The core table in the CRM Data Log sheet is structured as follows:

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template leverages Excel formulas to automate calculations and provide real-time insights:

• =IF(DATEVALUE($E$3) >= TODAY(), "Pending", "Completed"): Determines if a follow-up is due or overdue.
• =COUNTIFS(A:A, ">="&DATE(2024,1,1), A:A, "<="&DATE(2024,3,31)): Counts interactions in the first quarter.
• =SUMIFS(C:C, F:F,"Won", G:G,">0") / COUNTIFS(F:F,"Won"): Calculates average deal size for closed-won opportunities.
• =AVERAGEIF(B:B, "Email", C:C): Measures average response time per interaction type—key productivity metric.
• =COUNTIF(H:H, "Active"): Tracks total number of active customers—essential for growth tracking.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

Conditional formatting is used to highlight critical performance indicators:

• Red Highlight (Overdue): If "Follow-Up Due Date" is before today, cells turn red for urgency.
• Green Highlight (Won): Closed-Won records are highlighted green to show successful outcomes.
• Yellow Alert for Delayed Stages: Records in the “Needs Analysis” stage past 14 days from follow-up date trigger yellow warnings.
• Color Scale on Response Time: Applies a gradient based on response time (fastest to slowest).
