Table Structures & Data Types

The core structure of the template relies on three interlinked tables:

Sales Data Table

Data types are strictly defined:

• Order ID – Text (unique identifier)
• Date – Date/Time (to enable time-based filtering and trend analysis)
• Product ID – Text
• Customer Name – Text
• Salesperson ID – Text (links to Resource Allocation sheet)
• Region – Text (categorized for regional planning)
• Sale Amount – Decimal (USD, with currency formatting)
• Status – Categorical (Closed Won, Closed Lost, Pending)
• Expected Delivery Date – Date

Resource Allocation Table

Performance Summary Table (Aggregated)

This table dynamically pulls data from the Sales Data and Resource Allocation sheets using formulas to calculate:

• Total Sales per Region
• Overall Performance Ratio (Actual vs. Target)
• Win Rate (%)
• Average Sale Amount per Customer

Formulas Required

The template relies on dynamic formulas to ensure real-time updates and accurate analytics:

• =SUMIFS(Sales!Sale Amount, Sales!Region, "West Coast") – Calculates total sales by region.
• =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, Resource_Allocation!Salesperson ID:Performance Ratio, 7), "N/A") – Links salesperson to performance ratio.
• =COUNTIFS(Sales!Status, "Closed Won") / COUNTA(Sales!Status) – Calculates win rate.
• =AVERAGEIFS(Sales!Sale Amount, Sales!Status, "Closed Won") – Average value of closed won deals.
• =IF(Actual Sales >= Target Sales, "On Track", "Below Target") – Flags performance against goals.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visual clarity and highlight key data points:

• Green Highlight: When Performance Ratio > 90% (in Resource Allocation sheet).
• Yellow Highlight: When Performance Ratio between 80% and 90%.
• Red Highlight: When Performance Ratio < 80%. Indicates underperformance.
• Different background color: On rows where "Closed Lost" appears in the Sales Data sheet (for quick identification).
• Color scale on Total Sales per Region: Shows progression from low to high performance.

User Instructions

1. Enter new sales records into the Sales Data sheet with complete fields including date, product ID, customer name, and status.
2. Ensure that each Salesperson ID references an existing entry in the Resource Allocation table to enable performance tracking.
