Columns and Data Types

All columns are defined with clear data types to ensure consistency and automate validation:

• Text: For names, emails, subjects, notes.
• Date/Time: Used for activity timestamps and lead status changes.
• Number (int): For ID fields and KPIs like call count or conversion rates.
• Dropdown/Validation: Status fields use predefined lists (e.g., "New", "Qualified", "Lost").

Formulas Required

The template leverages several Excel formulas to automate calculations and ensure data integrity:

• =TODAY(): Automatically populates current date in new entries.
• =IF(D2="Lost", "Team A", IF(D2="Qualified", "Team B", "In Progress")): Assigns team ownership based on status.
• =DATEDIF(C2, TODAY(), "d"): Calculates days since last contact in the Lead Log.
• =COUNTIFS('Lead Log'!E:E, "Qualified", 'Lead Log'!F:F, "Sales Team A"): Counts qualified leads per team for KPIs.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, 'Customer Interactions'!A:A, 3, FALSE): Pulls interaction type from customer log when linked.

Conditional Formatting

Visual cues are implemented to highlight critical data:

• Red background: For leads that haven’t been contacted in over 30 days.
• Yellow background: For "Qualified" leads with no follow-up within the past week.
• Green background: For completed interactions or closed deals.
• Text color change: Status cells turn bold and blue when a lead reaches "Conversion" status.
