Table Structures and Columns

Sales Data (Main) Table

This table stores transaction-level data for each weekly sales period. All date fields are in standard ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD). Data types are structured to support filtering, sorting, and analysis with automated calculations.

Risk Register Table

This table enables proactive identification of risks across different regions. Each risk is evaluated using a 5-point scale for probability and impact, enabling risk scoring calculations.

Formulas Required

• =SUMIFS(Sales!B:B, Sales!A:A, ">= "&DATE(2024,4,1), Sales!A:A, "<="&DATE(2024,4,7)) – Weekly revenue summary.
• =IF(C5="Pending", "At Risk", IF(C5="Completed", "Low Risk", "Monitoring")) – Auto-detects risk based on sales status.
• =IF(D2>3, (E2*F2), 0) – Calculates potential financial exposure for high-probability risks.
• =VLOOKUP(A10, RiskRegister!A:D, 3, FALSE) – Links sales data to risk details by region.
• =COUNTIFS(RiskRegister!C:C, "North", RiskRegister!E:E, "5") – Counts high-impact risks in a region.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Revenue Cells (Red/Yellow/Green): Green if >10k, Yellow if between 5k–10k, Red if <5k.
• Risk Flag Column: High risk = red fill with bold text; Medium = orange; Low/None = green.
• Probability & Impact Cells: Use color scales (1–5) to visualize severity.
• Dates in the Future: Highlight in gray to indicate unrecorded or forecast data.
