FIELDS AND FORMULAS REQUIRED

This template integrates powerful Excel formulas to automate forecasting and tracking:

Weekly Forecast Total: =SUMIFS(Deal_Value, Status, "Open", Expected_Close_Date, ">="&A2, Expected_Close_Date, "<="&A2+6) – Calculates total forecasted value for the current week based on open opportunities.
Forecast Accuracy Rate: =IFERROR((COUNTIF(Completion_Status,"Completed")/COUNTA(Completion_Status))*100, 0)&"%" – Tracks task completion rate.
Status Color Coding (Conditional Formatting): Uses formulas to highlight opportunities based on status and due dates. For example, if Due Date is before today and Status ≠ "Completed", color red.
To-Do Alert System: Formula in a new column: =IF(AND(Due_Date < TODAY(), Completion_Status="Not Started"), "ACTION REQUIRED", "") – Highlights urgent items.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING RULES

The template includes several visual cues via conditional formatting:

Overdue To-Do Items: If Due Date is before today and Status ≠ "Completed", highlight row in bright red.
Pending High-Priority Tasks: Highlight rows where Priority = "High" and Completion Status = "Not Started" with yellow fill.
Opportunity Aging: If Expected Close Date is more than 2 weeks past the current date, apply a light orange background.
Forecast Progress Bar: Use data bars in the Deal Value column to visually show relative deal sizes.
