Table Structures & Data Types

The core of the template is built around three primary tables:

Sales Data Sheet

Data Types: All date fields are formatted as 'YYYY-MM-DD'. Sales amounts are numeric with 2 decimal places. Text fields use standard string types with dropdowns (via data validation). Status uses a predefined list to ensure consistency.

Time Log Sheet

Data Types: Time fields are formatted as time (HH:MM). Duration is automatically calculated using a formula. All entries are linked to the Sales Data sheet via shared representative and date fields.

Formulas Required

• =TIMEVALUE("End Time") - TIMEVALUE("Start Time") – Calculates duration in time format.
• =IF(ISBLANK(D2), "", TEXT(E2, "0:0")) – Formats duration to show as minutes only.
• =SUMIFS(SalesAmount, Date, ">=1/1/2024", Date, "<=31/3/2024") – Monthly sales total based on date range.
• =COUNTIF(Status, "Closed Won") – Counts number of closed deals.
• =AVERAGEIFS(Duration, Activity Type, "Call") – Averages time spent per activity type.

Conditional Formatting

• Sales Amount > $5,000: Background color turns green with bold text.
• Status = "Closed Lost": Background red with warning icon (via cell format).
• Dates in future (today + 3 days): Highlighted in yellow to flag pending tasks.
• Time logs where duration > 120 minutes: Highlighted in orange for excessive time usage.
