1. Data Entry Sheet – Table Structure

2. Daily/Weekly Summary Sheet – Table Structure

3. Sales Forecasting Engine Sheet – Key Formulas and Logic

This sheet applies advanced logic to generate future projections based on historical patterns and current pipeline data.

• Monthly Forecast Calculation:
  =SUMIFS('Data Entry'!$E:$E, 'Data Entry'!$D:$D, "Closed-Won", 'Data Entry'!$A:$A, ">="&DATE(2024,10,1), 'Data Entry'!$A:$A, "<="&DATE(2024,10,31))
  This formula sums all closed-won deals for October 2024.
• Rolling 3-Month Forecast:
  =AVERAGE('Daily/Weekly Summary'!$C:$C) * 3
  Projects future revenue based on the average of the last three months’ forecasted values.
• Forecast Confidence Score:
  =IF(AVERAGE('Data Entry'!$F:$F) >= 75%, "High", IF(AVERAGE('Data Entry'!$F:$F) >= 50%, "Medium", "Low"))
  Provides a confidence level based on average deal probability.

4. Conditional Formatting Rules (Applied Across Sheets)

To enhance readability and highlight key trends:

• Deal Value > $50,000: Highlighted in green (cell fill).
• Deal Stage = "Closed-Lost": Text color in red.
• Closed-Won Rate < 35%: Background color red for alerting underperformance.
• Forecasted Value (Monthly): Color scale from light blue (low) to dark blue (high).
