Formulas Required for Automation

Weekly Total Revenue: In the Dashboard, use =SUMIFS('Weekly Forecast'!$E:$E, 'Weekly Forecast'!$A:$A, "Wk 1") to aggregate projected sales per week.
Daily Actuals vs Forecast: On the Daily Tracker sheet, use a formula like =IF(E2="", "", E2 - VLOOKUP(A2, 'Weekly Forecast'!$B:$E, 4, FALSE)) to compare actual revenue against weekly projections.
Forecast Accuracy Rate: Calculate on the Dashboard using: =IF(SUM('Daily Tracker'!$E:$E)=0, 0, (SUM('Daily Tracker'!$E:$E)/SUM('Weekly Forecast'!$E:$E))*100).
Conversion Rate (Actual): Use =COUNTIF(D:D, "Closed-Won") / COUNTA(D:D) to determine real conversion rates over time.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual tracking and user insights:

Negative Variance Highlighting: Apply red fill with white text for actual revenue values that fall below projected targets (use conditional formatting rule: "Less than" = Forecast value).
High Performance Indicator: Green background when actual revenue exceeds forecast by 10% or more.
Forecast Completion Status: Yellow highlights for entries where conversion rate is below 20%, indicating potential risk.
