Columns and Data Types

All data fields are carefully defined with appropriate data types to ensure accuracy and usability:

• Date/Time fields use Excel's native date/time format for precise calculations.
• Text fields are capped at reasonable lengths (e.g., 100–250 characters) to prevent overflow.
• Currency values are stored as numbers with formatting applied via custom number formats (e.g., $#,##0.00).
• Status and Priority columns use dropdowns linked via named ranges for consistency.

Formulas Required

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas to automate data flow, calculations, and updates:

• =IF() – To flag overdue tasks: =IF(E2
• =DATEDIF() – To calculate task duration between start and end dates.
• =COUNTIFS() – To count tasks by status, stage, or priority (e.g., total high-priority tasks).
• =VLOOKUP() – To link Task Log entries to Sales Pipeline data via Deal ID.
• =SUMIFS() – To sum revenue from "Closed Won" deals in a given month.
• =NETWORKDAYS() – For calculating working days between scheduled dates (excluding weekends).
