• Client/Deal ID – Text

FORMULAS REQUIRED

• Automated Status Updates: A formula in the "Last Updated" column uses `TODAY()` and combines with a conditional check to update automatically when a field changes.
• Potential Revenue Calculation: In the Sales Pipeline Tracker, use: `=C12 * D12` where C = Estimated Value and D = Potential Revenue (%) to compute total potential revenue in USD.
• Stage Progress Monitoring: A formula calculates the average days per stage using `AVERAGEIFS()` with date ranges to track workflow efficiency.
• Total Pipeline Value: In the dashboard sheet: `=SUMIF(Sales_Pipeline!G:G,"Open",Sales_Pipeline!H:H)` to sum only open deals' values.
• Weekly Activity Count: Uses `COUNTIFS` across the Daily Activity Log to count completed activities per week.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

• Stage Highlighting: Apply color scales (green → yellow → red) to "Stage" based on progress (e.g., green for "Proposal Sent," red for "Closed Lost").
• Low-Value Deals: Highlight rows where Estimated Value < $50,000 with a light orange background.
• Last Updated Warning: If the "Last Updated" column is more than 3 days old, apply a yellow warning border to flag overdue entries.
• High Potential Revenue: Format rows where Potential Revenue > 75% with a green background and bold text.
