Table Structures & Data Types

The core data is stored in the "Sales Pipeline" sheet, which follows a normalized relational structure:

Formulas Required

• =IF(E2="Closed Won", "Win", IF(E2="Closed Lost", "Loss", "Open")): Determines deal outcome automatically for performance metrics.
• =DATEDIF(B2, C2, "d"): Calculates days from start to expected close (used in cycle time analysis).
• =SUMIFS(F:F, G:G, "Won"): Sums total revenue of all closed-won deals.
• =COUNTIF(G:G, "Closed Won") / COUNTA(G:G): Calculates win rate percentage.
• =VLOOKUP(Deal ID, Activity Log!A:B, 2, FALSE): Links to activity logs for context on interactions.
• =IF(ISBLANK(C2), "Pending", IF(C2>today(), "Overdue", "On Track")): Flags deals that are overdue by date.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Deal Stage Color Coding: - Green for "Closed Won" - Yellow for "Negotiation" or "Proposal Sent" - Red for "Overdue" or "Closed Lost"
• Value Highlighting: Deals over $100,000 are highlighted in orange.
• Due Date Alerts: Cells with end dates less than 7 days from today show red text.
• Status Flags: Inactivity longer than 30 days triggers a warning flag in the "Activity Log".
