Sheet Names & Purpose

Sales Pipeline (Main Tracking Sheet): Central hub where all deal data is entered and monitored.
Daily/Weekly Summary: Aggregates key metrics on a weekly basis for trend analysis.
Monthly Forecast Dashboard: Visual representation of forecasted revenue, pipeline health, and performance against targets.
Deal History Log: Historical archive of closed deals with detailed attributes for retrospective analysis.
Data Validation & Lookup Tables: Contains standardized values (e.g., stages, probability tiers) for consistency across entries.

Table Structures and Columns (Sales Pipeline Sheet)

The primary Sales Pipeline sheet contains a structured table with the following columns. All data is entered via form controls or direct input, with validation rules enforced:

Column Name	Data Type/Format	Description & Rules
Deal ID (Auto-generated)	Text (e.g., CRMS-2024-001)	Unique identifier generated via formula = "CRMS-" & YEAR(TODAY()) & "-" & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")
Account Name	Text (Required)	Name of the client or prospect. Must be unique within the month.
Contact Person	Text (Optional)	Name of key decision-maker.
Opportunity Value ($)	Number (Currency, $, 2 decimals)	Total estimated value of the deal.
Expected Close Month	Date (Month-Only Format)	Must match the current forecast month (e.g., 1/31/2024). Enforced via data validation.
Current Sales Stage	List (Drop-down)	Options: Prospecting, Qualified, Proposal Sent, Negotiation, Closed Won/Lost. Based on standard sales funnel.
Probability (%)	Number (0-100%)	Auto-filled based on stage: Prospecting (5%), Qualified (25%), Proposal Sent (60%), Negotiation (85%), Closed Won/Lost (100/0).
Forecast Value ($)	Formula: =Opportunity Value * Probability	Automatically calculated. Represents the weighted value of the deal.
Status	Text (Auto)	Color-coded based on stage: "In Progress", "At Risk", "On Track", "Closed Won/Lost".
Last Updated Date	Date (Auto-populated)	Uses =TODAY() to track when the row was last modified.
Next Action	Text (Optional)	Description of the next step (e.g., "Send follow-up email", "Schedule demo").

Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy

Forecast Value Calculation: =IF(OR(Current_Stage="Closed Won", Current_Stage="Closed Lost"), Opportunity_Value * IF(Current_Stage="Closed Won",1,0), Opportunity_Value * (Probability/100))
Auto-Generated Deal ID: =CONCATENATE("CRMS-", YEAR(TODAY()), "-", TEXT(ROW()-1,"000"))
Status Logic: =IF(Current_Stage="Closed Won", "Closed Won", IF(Current_Stage="Closed Lost", "Closed Lost", IF(Probability>=85%, "On Track", IF(Probability<30%, "At Risk","In Progress"))))
Monthly Forecast Total: SUMIFS(Forecast_Value_Column, Expected_Close_Month_Column, DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), ...)
Pipeline Health Score: =IF(COUNTA(Deal_ID_Column)>0, (SUMIF(Status_Column,"On Track",Forecast_Value_Column)+SUMIF(Status_Column,"In Progress",Forecast_Value_Column))/SUM(Forecast_Value_Column), 0)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance data readability and highlight critical insights:

Rows with "At Risk" status are highlighted in red background with white text.
Rows with "On Track" status display green background.
Forecast Value values over $50,000 are displayed in bold and blue.
Data validation errors (e.g., invalid dates) show in yellow highlight with warning icon.
Cells containing "Closed Won" are shaded light green; "Closed Lost" appear light red.
