Table Structures & Column Definitions
Sheet: Sales Tasks (Chore Chart)
This is the core "chore" component of the template. Each row represents a specific sales activity to be completed.| Column | Data Type | Description & Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Task ID (Auto) | Text/Number (Auto-increment) | A unique identifier for each task. Auto-generated using =TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&COUNTA(A:A) or similar. |
| Task Description | Text (String) | E.g., "Call Prospect: ABC Corp", "Send Proposal to XYZ Inc." |
| Assignee | Text (Dropdown) | List of sales team members; uses data validation for consistency. |
| Due Date | Date (Short Date Format) | Date by which the task should be completed (e.g., 2024-04-15). |
| Status | Text (Dropdown: Pending, In Progress, Completed, Overdue) | Current status of the task. Drives conditional formatting. |
| Expected Value ($) | Number (Currency Format) | E.g., $5,000 – value associated with closing this task (e.g., from deal size). |
| Actual Value ($) | Number (Currency Format) | To be filled only when the task results in a sale; defaults to 0. |
Sheet: Historical Performance
Tracks past task completions and actual sales to inform forecasting.| Column | Data Type | Description & Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Date Completed | Date (Short Date Format) | When the task was finished. |
| Task Type | Text (Categorized) | E.g., "Client Call", "Proposal Sent", "Demo Scheduled". |
| Assignee | Text (Dropdown) | User who completed the task. |
| Deal Size ($) | Number (Currency Format) |
Formulas Required
- Daily Completion Rate: In Dashboard, use:
=COUNTIF(SalesTasks!E:E,"Completed")/COUNTA(SalesTasks!E:E)*100 - Forecasted Revenue: Based on task completion rate and average deal size. Formula:
=SUMIFS(SalesTasks!F:F, SalesTasks!E:E,"Completed") * ForecastModelSettings!I2(where I2 is the average conversion rate from completed tasks) - Overdue Tasks Counter:
=COUNTIFS(SalesTasks!D:D, "<"&TODAY(), SalesTasks!E:E, "<>Completed") - Pending Tasks by Assignee:
=COUNTIFS(SalesTasks!C:C,"John Doe", SalesTasks!E:E,"Pending") - Rolling 7-Day Forecast: Uses a dynamic SUMIF across the last 7 days from historical data.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- **Status Column (Chore Chart):** - "Overdue" → Red fill with white text - "Completed" → Green fill with white text - "In Progress" → Yellow fill - "Pending" → Light gray - **Due Date Column:** Highlight dates in the past (not yet completed) in red. Use a rule: `=AND(D2User Instructions
