• Campaign ROI = ((Revenue from Campaign – Cost of Campaign) / Cost of Campaign) * 100
• Quarterly Summary using SUMIFS and AVERAGEIFS: Aggregates data by quarter across multiple months.

• Budget Variance = Actual Spend – Budgeted Spend

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and support quick decision-making:

• Projects with "On-Time Delivery Rate" above 90% are highlighted in green.
• Budget variances exceeding ±15% trigger red (over budget) or blue (under budget) highlighting.
• Client status cells use color coding: Green = Active, Yellow = On Hold, Red = Delinquent.
• KPI trends are shown with arrow indicators (↑/↓/→) using icon sets based on month-over-month change.
