Sheet Names

The template includes the following key sheets to support a full workflow lifecycle:

• Sales Data Entry (Main): Core input sheet where sales representatives enter daily activities and results.
• Weekly Summary: Aggregates data from the main sheet, offering a high-level view of weekly performance.
• Workflow Analysis: Identifies delays, missed targets, and inefficiencies in the sales process using time-based metrics.
• Performance Dashboard: Interactive visualization of key indicators with filters for region, rep, and product line.

The central sheet – "Sales Data Entry" – features a structured table with the following columns:

All columns are designed to capture both quantitative and qualitative data to support workflow analysis. Data types include:

• Date: Standard date format (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Text: Free-form entries for names, stages, notes
• Number: Amounts in USD with currency formatting
• Drop-downs for Deal Stage and Status to ensure consistency and reduce input errors

Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic formulas to automate calculations and maintain data integrity:

• Weekly Totals (in Weekly Summary Sheet): =SUMIFS(SalesData!E:E, SalesData!A:A, ">=04/15/2024", SalesData!A:A, "<=04/21/2024")
• Win Rate Calculation: =COUNTIF(SalesData!H:H,"Closed Won") / COUNTA(SalesData!H:H) in the Workflow Analysis sheet.
• Days Since Last Follow-Up: In the main sheet, using formula: =IF(ISBLANK(F2), "", DATEDIF(F2, TODAY(), "d")) to highlight overdue actions.
• Auto-Generated Weekly Dates: Named range "WeekStart" with formula =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1) + (WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1)) - 2) to start the week correctly.
• Conditional Sum by Rep: SUMIFS with sales rep filter in dashboard to show per-rep performance.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To support workflow optimization, conditional formatting alerts users to critical issues:

• Red Highlight (Overdue Follow-Up): Applies when "Follow-Up Date" is older than 3 days from today.
• Yellow Highlight (Low Win Rate): When a rep’s win rate drops below 60% over two weeks.
• Green Highlight (On-Track): When deal stage transitions to "Closed Won" within expected timeframes.
• Pending Status Flag: Cells with "Pending Response" or "Open" in Deal Stage are marked with a warning icon.
