Formulas Required

The template uses several key formulas to automate data handling:

• =TODAY(): Used in Created Date and Last Updated fields for automatic date logging.
• =IF(B2="Closed Lost", "Team Review Required", ""): Flags potential review actions when a deal is lost.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, TeamRoster!A:B, 2, FALSE): Links customer records to team member names based on assigned user ID.

• =SUMIFS(D:D, Status, "Closed Won") / COUNTA(D:D): Calculates win rate across all opportunities in the team metrics.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and alert teams to critical updates, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

• Red Highlight for Overdue Follow-Ups: Cells with Next Follow-Up Date before today are shaded red.
• Orange for 'In Progress' Statuses: Indicates active engagement and requires monitoring.
• Green Background for 'Closed Won': Celebrates successful deals and highlights performance.
• Yellow Warning for Low Opportunity Value: Automatically flags entries below $1,000.
• Color-coded Status Bars: A dynamic bar in the status column shows progress across deal stages.
