Formulas Required for Forecasting Engine & Summary Sheets
The following formulas power the forecasting logic and data aggregation:
- Weighted Forecast Value (in Forecasting Engine):
=SUMPRODUCT(SalesTracker!F:F, SalesTracker!H:H/100)→ Multiplies deal value by probability to generate weighted forecast. - Closed-Won Revenue (by month):
=SUMIFS(SalesTracker!F:F, SalesTracker!E:E, "Closed Won", SalesTracker!C:C, ">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,1), SalesTracker!C:C, "<="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)) - Monthly Forecast (next 6 months):
=FORECAST.LINEAR(EOMONTH(TODAY(),COLUMN()-3), SalesTracker!F:F, SalesTracker!C:C)→ Uses linear regression on historical closed deals. - Forecast Accuracy Rate:
=IF(SUM(SalesTracker!F:F)=0, "N/A", (SUMIFS(SalesTracker!F:F, SalesTracker!H:H, "Closed Won")/SUM(SalesTracker!F:F))*100)
Conditional Formatting Rules
