Essential Formulas

In the Budget Allocation sheet, a SUM formula totals total budget: =SUM(BudgetAllocation[Budget Allocation ($)])

In the Bill Tracker, a VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP pulls campaign goals from Marketing Plan Overview using Campaign ID.

Total Spent per Channel: =SUMIFS([Amount Paid], [Marketing Channel], "Facebook Ads")

Remaining Budget: =[Budget Allocation ($)] - SUMIFS([Amount Paid], [Marketing Channel], [@Marketing Channel])

Actual ROI Calculation: =IFERROR(([Revenue from Campaign] - [Amount Paid]) / [Amount Paid], 0)

Dynamic Date Filter using FILTER() function in Dashboards sheet to isolate data by month/quarter.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Over Budget Alert: If Remaining Budget < 0, cell turns red with bold text.

Underperforming Campaign: If Actual ROI < Target ROI, highlight in orange.

Paid On Time: Green fill if Bill Date ≤ Planned Spend Date.

Unpaid Bills: Yellow background for bills with blank “Date Paid” and due date passed.

User Instructions

Step 1: In the Budget Allocation sheet, define your marketing channels and allocate budget based on your Marketing Plan goals (Q3 2024, for example).

Step 2: Assign a unique Campaign ID to each initiative. Use these IDs when entering bills to auto-link spending to objectives.

Step 3: Every time you pay a bill (e.g., Google Ads invoice, influencer fee), enter it in the Bill Tracker. The template auto-updates spend summaries and remaining budget.

Step 4: Weekly, review the Dashboards & Charts sheet for visual trends. Use filters to analyze performance by channel or time period.

Step 5: At quarter-end, use the data to refine your next Marketing Plan. The Template Version is designed for reuse—clear old entries and reset with new goals.
