Formulas Required for Productivity Improvement

The template leverages a suite of Excel formulas to enable real-time productivity tracking:

• Revenue Percentage Achieved: =IF(B2>0, C2/B2, 0) — Calculates % of target reached.
• Conversion Rate (Closed/Won): =COUNTIFS(D:D,"Closed/Won") / COUNTA(D:D) — Measures performance efficiency.
• Daily Average Sales per Rep: =AVERAGEIF(A:A, "=Today()", C:C) — Tracks daily output.
• Productivity Score (0–100): =ROUND(10 * (Achieved/SalesTarget), 2) — A simple scoring system to rank reps.
• Weekly Performance Summary: Uses SUMIFS across date ranges for weekly reporting.
• Missing Follow-Up Alerts: IF(E:E="", "Action Required", "") — Flags incomplete follow-ups.

To enhance visibility and user engagement, conditional formatting is applied in the following ways:

• Yellow highlight for % Achieved > 100%: Indicates overperformance.
• Red highlight for % Achieved < 80%: Flags underperformance.
• Blue background for "Pending" status: Highlights actions needing attention.
• Green fill in the Dashboard when Weekly Productivity > 90%: Signals strong team performance.
