=IF(D2<>"", G2 * (E2/100), 0) - Daily Forecast Sum: On the Dashboard sheet:
=SUMIFS('Daily Sales Log'!H:H, 'Daily Sales Log'!A:A, TODAY()) - Monthly Running Forecast: Uses a dynamic date filter to sum all weighted values where Expected Close Date is within the current month.
- Progress to Target:
=SUMIFS('Daily Sales Log'!H:H, 'Daily Sales Log'!A:A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), 'Daily Sales Log'!A:A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0))/MonthlyTarget - Forecast Confidence Score: Average of probability % weighted by deal value (used in dashboard KPIs).
Conditional Formatting
Enhances readability and highlights critical data:- Deal Value > $100K: Gold fill with dark text.
- Probability < 30% (in Stage: Negotiation or Proposal Sent): Red highlight to flag at-risk deals.
- Daily Forecast vs. Target: Green if above target, yellow if 80–99%, red if below 80%.
