Data Types and Formulas Required

The template leverages built-in Excel formulas to automate calculations and improve productivity:

• IF statements: Automatically classify status based on time elapsed (e.g., if "Follow-Up Date" is past, flag as “Overdue”).
• ROUND and ROUNDUP: Standardizes monetary values to two decimal places for financial clarity.
• MID, LEFT, RIGHT: Extract specific parts of names or emails for filtering or segmentation.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template includes dynamic visual cues that highlight critical data points:

• Red Highlight (Overdue): Cells in “Follow-Up Date” column turn red if the date is past today.
• Yellow Alert (High Risk): Deals with value over $100,000 show yellow shading to emphasize high-priority opportunities.
• Status Color Coding: “Closed Won” = Green, “In Progress” = Blue, “New” = Gray, “Lost” = Red.
• Progress Bars: In the pipeline sheet, a conditional bar chart (using data bars) shows progression from stage to stage.
