Formulas Required

AUTO-GENERATED Opportunity ID: =IF(ISBLANK(A2), "SF-"&TEXT(TODAY(),"YY")&"-"&TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"), A2)
Forecast Value (Weighted by Stage): Uses a lookup table with stage probabilities (e.g., Lead = 10%, Qualified = 35%, Proposal Sent = 65%) to calculate weighted deal value.
=B2 * VLOOKUP(C2,StageProbabilities!A:B,2,FALSE)
Pipeline Value by Stage: =SUMIF(StageColumn, "Prospecting", ForecastValueColumn) (aggregated per stage).
Expected Close Date: Based on historical average time-to-close per stage. Uses AVERAGEIFS.
Status (Automated): =IF(TODAY()>E2, "Overdue", IF(F2="Won", "Closed Won", IF(F2="Lost", "Closed Lost", "In Progress")))
Sales Rep Performance Summary: Uses COUNTIFS, SUMIFS, and AVERAGEIFS across all sheets.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Overdue Opportunities: Red fill if expected close date is before today, and status is still "In Progress".
