Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic formulas to ensure data accuracy and real-time updates:

• Auto-Lead ID Generator (Lead Log Sheet): =IF(LEN(A2)=0, “L”&TEXT(DATEVALUE(TODAY()), “yymmdd”) & TEXT(COUNTA($A$2:A2), “0”), A2) – Generates unique lead IDs using date and count.
• Auto-Calculation of Total Value (Lead Log): =SUMIFS(Potential Value, Status, “Closed Won”)
• Completion Rate Formula (Team Assignments Sheet): =IF([Total Leads Assigned]>0, [Completed Leads]/[Total Leads Assigned], 0) – Returns percentage.
• Interaction Count by Type: =COUNTIFS(Type, “Call”) – Used in performance dashboard.
• Days Since Last Interaction: =IF(ISBLANK(B2), 0, TODAY()-B2) – Calculates time since last interaction for follow-up triggers.
• Conditional Sum (Performance Dashboard): =SUMIFS(Lead Log!$I:$I, Lead Log!$G:$G, “Qualified”, Lead Log!$H:$H, “<”& TODAY()) – Finds qualified leads overdue.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Visual cues enhance user understanding and prioritize actions:

• Status Column Highlighting:
  • “Red” for “Closed Lost” or “In Progress” over 30 days.
  • “Yellow” for “Qualified” with no follow-up in >7 days.
  • “Green” for “Won”, completed within last week.
• Potential Value Thresholds:
  • Cells with value > $50,000 show background orange with bold text.
• Activity Log – No Update in 3 Days: Highlights rows where last activity was more than 72 hours ago using a red border.
• Team Completion Rate: Bars turn red if rate < 50%, yellow if between 40–50%, green otherwise.
