Table Structures & Column Definitions

The core dataset in the "Main CRM Tracker Data" sheet follows a relational structure designed for efficient analysis:

Formulas Required

• Dynamic SUMIFs and COUNTIFS: To calculate total leads by status, region, or priority level.
• =VLOOKUP(Lead_ID, Resource_Master!A:B, 2, FALSE): To pull assigned resource details from a master sheet for accurate tracking.
• =IF(Status="Closed Won", Revenue_Potential*0.85, 0): Estimates actual revenue captured (with adjustment factor).
• =NETWORKDAYS(Activity_Date, Expected_Close_Date): Calculates time between interaction and closure.
• =AVERAGEIFS(Lead_Score, Status, "Qualified", Region, "North"): Average score for qualified leads in a region.
• =SUMPRODUCT(--(Status="In Progress"), --(Priority_Level="High")): Counts high-priority open leads requiring immediate attention.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Status Column: Green if "Closed Won", Yellow if "In Progress", Red if "Lost" or "No Response".
• Lead_Score: Gradient fill from blue (0–50) to red (80–100), highlighting high-value leads.
• Expected_Close_Date: Red background if within 7 days of today, indicating urgency.
• Revenue_Potential: Highlight cells above $50,000 in gold to indicate top-tier opportunities.
• Prioritized Leads: Entire row turns light orange when Priority_Level is "High".
