Formulas Reference

Common Automation Formulas

# Auto-status based on date
=IF(C2<TODAY(), "OVERDUE", IF(C2=TODAY(), "DUE TODAY", "UPCOMING"))

# Days until due
=DATEDIF(TODAY(), C2, "D")

# Auto-assign based on criteria
=IFS(B2="Enterprise", "Alice", B2="Mid-Market", "Bob", TRUE, "Carol")

# Calculate conversion rate
=IFERROR(D2/C2, 0)

# Running total
=SUMIF($A$2:A2, "<="&A2, $B$2:B2)

# Conditional formatting trigger
=AND($E2="High", $F2<TODAY())

# VLOOKUP from another sheet
=VLOOKUP(A2, 'Reference Data'!$A:$C, 3, FALSE)

# Query for dashboard
=QUERY(Data!A:F, "SELECT A, SUM(C) WHERE B='Closed Won' GROUP BY A")
