Table Structures & Column Definitions (Asset Register)

The core data is stored in the Asset Register, structured as a dynamic Excel Table named “tblAssets” with the following columns: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|-------------| | Asset ID | Text (Unique) | Auto-generated unique identifier (e.g., MA-2024-001) | | Asset Name | Text | Human-readable name of asset (e.g., “Q3 Social Media Carousel”) | | Asset Type | Dropdown (Text) | Options: Digital Ad, Email Template, Landing Page, Brochure, Video, Banner, etc. | | Owner | Text | Name or team responsible for the asset | | Created Date | Date | When the asset was first produced | | Last Modified | Date | Most recent edit date; auto-updates with edits | | Campaign Assigned To | Text (Linked) | Links to Campaign ID in “Campaign Assignments” sheet | | Status | Dropdown (Text) | Draft, Approved, Active, Archived, Retired | | Usage Count | Number | Auto-populated from “Status Tracker” via COUNTIFS formula | | Last Used Date | Date | Latest date asset appeared in a campaign or channel | | Budget Allocated ($) | Currency | Planned spend for creation or distribution | | Actual Cost ($) | Currency | Real cost incurred (manually entered) | | ROI Estimate (%) | Percentage | Calculated field: ((Revenue Generated - Actual Cost) / Actual Cost) * 100 | | Notes / Comments | Text (Multiline) | Additional context, links to files, or feedback |

Formulas Required

=IF([@Status]="Retired","N/A",DATEDIF([@Created Date],TODAY(),"m")) → Calculates asset age in months.
=COUNTIFS('Status Tracker'!$B:$B,[@[Asset ID]],'Status Tracker'!$D:$D,"Used") → Auto-updates Usage Count from tracker logs.
=IF([@[Actual Cost ($)]]>0,([@[Revenue Generated ($)]]-[@[Actual Cost ($)]])/[@[Actual Cost ($)]]*100,"N/A") → ROI Estimate formula.
=VLOOKUP([@[Campaign Assigned To]],Campaign Assignments!$A:$F,2,FALSE) → Pulls campaign name from linked sheet.
=IF(TODAY()-[@[Last Used Date]]>90,"At Risk","Healthy") → Flags inactive assets in Status column (used with conditional formatting).

Conditional Formatting Rules

Status = “Retired”: Row shaded light gray.
Last Used Date > 90 days ago: Yellow background for “At Risk” assets.
ROI Estimate > 200%: Green highlight to identify high-performing assets.
Budget Allocated vs. Actual Cost: Red if actual exceeds budget by >15%.
Asset Type = “Video” AND Status = “Active”: Blue border for priority asset type tracking.

User Instructions

How to Use This Template:

Start by populating the Asset Register with all current marketing assets. Use the dropdowns for consistency.
Assign each asset to one or more campaigns using the Campaign Assignments sheet. Each campaign can have multiple assets.
Update the Status Tracker weekly: log when an asset was used (e.g., “Used on LinkedIn,” “Sent in Email Blast”).
The Dashboards & Charts sheet auto-updates with all metrics. Refresh data via Data > Refresh All.
At quarter-end, use the Retire Assets button (macro-enabled version available) to archive low-performing items.
Do not delete rows in Asset Register — archive instead by changing Status to “Retired.”
