Sheet Names

• Project Overview: A summary sheet listing all active projects with key metadata such as project name, start date, end date, lead responsible person, status (e.g., Active/On Hold/Completed), and total estimated revenue.
• Sales Tracker: The main tracking sheet where sales activities are logged per project. Each row represents a specific sales opportunity or deal tied to a project.
• Performance Summary: A dynamic summary sheet that aggregates data from the Sales Tracker and Project Overview, showing KPIs like total revenue generated, average deal size, conversion rate, and time-to-close per project.
• Dashboard View: A visual summary with charts and key metrics to provide an at-a-glance view of current sales performance against project goals.

Table Structures & Data Types

The core structure revolves around two primary tables:

1. Project Overview Table (Sheet: Project Overview)

All dates are stored in the date data type, while text fields (e.g., Project Name, Lead Manager) use standard string types. Revenue is stored as currency with two decimal places.

2. Sales Tracker Table (Sheet: Sales Tracker)

This table uses standard data types: text for IDs and names, dates for signing dates, currency for amounts. The "Sales Stage" column follows a sequential workflow (e.g., Lead → Proposal → Negotiation → Won/Lost).

Formulas Required

• Automatic Revenue Summation (Performance Summary): Use SUMIFS in the “Total Revenue” cell to sum amounts where "Status" = "Won" and corresponding Project ID matches.
• Days to Close Calculation: In Project Overview, calculate days between start date and today using =TODAY() - Start Date.
• Conversion Rate Formula: In Performance Summary, use: =SUMIFS(Sales Tracker!$E$2:$E$100, Sales Tracker!$H$2:$H$100, "Won") / COUNTA(Sales Tracker!$H$2:$H$100) to compute win rate.
• Conditional Progress Bars (in Dashboard View): Use IF and SUM functions to calculate percentage completion based on current vs. estimated revenue.

Conditional Formatting

• Status Highlighting in Project Overview: Apply color scales: green for "Completed", yellow for "Active", red for "On Hold" or "Delayed".
• Win/Loss Flagging in Sales Tracker: Format rows with “Won” in green and “Lost” in red.
• Revenue Over Target Highlighting: In the Performance Summary, apply a gradient from yellow to red if actual revenue exceeds projected value by more than 10%.
• Date-Based Alerts: Use data validation rules to highlight overdue milestones (e.g., if End Date is before today).

User Instructions

Users should follow these simple steps:

1. Open the template and navigate to the “Project Overview” sheet to input or update project details.
2. In the “Sales Tracker” sheet, enter each deal with its associated Project ID, amount, stage, and date signed.
3. Update status as deals progress—use dropdown lists for Sales Stage (e.g., Lead → Proposal → Negotiation → Won/Lost) to maintain consistency.
4. The “Performance Summary” sheet will auto-update using formulas; refresh it after any changes.
5. Use the “Dashboard View” to visualize key metrics like total won revenue, average deal size, and project progress at a glance.
6. Save the file regularly and share with stakeholders via email or cloud storage (e.g., OneDrive, Google Drive).

Example Rows

Recommended Charts or Dashboards

• Bar Chart (Performance Summary Sheet): Compares total revenue generated per project.
• Pie Chart: Shows the breakdown of sales stages—how many deals are in each phase.
• Progress Bar Gauge: Displays completion percentage for each project based on actual vs. estimated revenue.
• Line Graph (Dashboard View): Tracks monthly deal value over time to detect trends and seasonality.
