Budget Allocation Sheet:

Digital Marketing	Paid Search	North America	1,200,000.00	=SUMIF(CampaignTracker!D:D,A3,CampaignTracker!H:H)	=IF(Budget=0, 0, (Actual-Budget)/Budget)

Formulas Required

=SUMIFS(): Aggregates actual spend by category and region from Campaign Tracker.
=FORECAST.ETS(): Projects monthly spend trends based on historical data in Forecast vs Actuals.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(), "N/A"): Safe lookups for campaign-specific CAC or ROAS from Assumptions sheet.
=SUMPRODUCT(): Calculates weighted average channel performance across regions.
Dynamic named ranges using =OFFSET() to auto-expand tables as new campaigns are added.

Conditional Formatting

Red/Yellow/Green Heat Map: Variance columns turn red if >15% over budget, yellow if 5-15%, green if under or within tolerance.
Budget Utilization Bars: Data bars in the Budget (USD) column visually represent percentage of total annual allocation.
Deadline Alerts: Campaign Tracker rows turn orange when end date is within 14 days and actual spend is under 50% of target.

User Instructions

Step 1: Enter annual budget targets in the Budget Allocation sheet. Use only the "Budget (USD)" column — all other figures auto-calculate.

Step 2: Input campaign details in Campaign Tracker: Name, Start/End Date, Channel, Category, Region, Target Leads/Sales, Budgeted Cost.

Step 3: Weekly/Monthly: Update "Actual Spend" and "Actual Results" (leads/sales) in Campaign Tracker.

Step 4: Adjust assumptions (e.g., CTR, conversion rate) in Assumptions & Inputs — this dynamically recalculates ROI across all channels.

Step 5: Monitor the Executive Summary dashboard for real-time KPIs: Total Spend, ROAS, CPA, Budget Variance %.

Step 6: Use Reporting Export sheet to copy-paste into presentations. Do NOT edit this sheet directly.
