Key Features:

• Total leads generated per rep
• Average forecast vs actual revenue variance (%)
• Habit compliance rate by salesperson (from Habit Tracker)
• Correlation analysis between habit consistency and revenue performance

Formulas Used:

• =AVERAGEIF(‘Daily Sales Forecasting Log’!D:D, "Alice Johnson", ‘Daily Sales Forecasting Log’!H:H) – Average forecasted revenue by person.

• =COUNTIF(‘Habit Tracker Dashboard’!C:C, "Y") / 7 – Daily average for habit completion.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Forecast Accuracy: Cells in “Forecasted Revenue” turn green if actual is within ±10% of forecast; red if outside range.
