These formulas ensure dynamic and automated calculations across sheets:
=SUMIFS('Sales Pipeline Tracker'!$F:$F, 'Sales Pipeline Tracker'!$D:$D, "Closed-Won", 'Sales Pipeline Tracker'!$E:$E, ">="&StartDate, 'Sales Pipeline Tracker'!$E:$E, "<="&EndDate)– Sum of all won deals within a date range.=IF(AND('Sales Pipeline Tracker'!$D2="Closed-Won", 'Sales Pipeline Tracker'!$E2<TODAY()), "Late Closed", IF('Sales Pipeline Tracker'!$D2="Closed-Won", "On Time", "In Progress"))– Tracks whether deals closed on time.=SUMPRODUCT((Client Master List!$F:$F="High")*(Client Master List!$G:$G))– Total estimated revenue from high-tier clients.=IF('Forecast Accuracy Log'!E2=0, "Perfect", IF('Forecast Accuracy Log'!E2>5%, "Underestimated", IF('Forecast Accuracy Log'!E2<-5%, "Overestimated", "Accurate"))– Automatically classifies forecast accuracy.=COUNTIF('Sales Pipeline Tracker'!$D:$D, "Prospecting")– Counts current pipeline volume in early stage.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Overdue Deals: Highlight any opportunity where the Expected Close Date is before today and the stage is not "Closed-Won". Use conditional formatting with rule:
=AND($E2, format as red fill. - Pipeline Stage Progression: Apply color scales (green-yellow-red) to the Probability (%) column to visualize deal maturity.
- Forecast Accuracy Status: Use icon sets or color formatting on the “Status” column based on variance: green for accurate, yellow for minor deviation, red for major inaccuracy.
- Benchmark Comparison: In the Dashboard, compare forecasted vs actual revenue with a conditional bar chart using data bars.
