Table Structures & Columns with Data Types

The primary sheet, Daily_Activity_Log, contains the following columns:

Formulas Required

• In the Daily_Activity_Log: - CPC = IF(Clicks>0, [Budget Spent]/[Clicks], 0)
  - CPA = IF(Conversions>0, [Budget Spent]/[Conversions], 0)
  - ROI = IF([Budget Spent]>0, ([Revenue from Conversions] - [Budget Spent]) / [Budget Spent] * 100, 0)
  
• In the Budget_Tracker: - Daily spend summary per channel using SUMIFS:
  =SUMIFS(Daily_Activity_Log[ Budget Spent], Daily_Activity_Log[Channel], "Social Media")
  - Remaining budget: = Total Allocated - Sum of daily spends.
• In the KPI_Dashboard: - Average CPA: =AVERAGEIF(Daily_Activity_Log[Status], "Completed", Daily_Activity_Log[CPA])
  - Conversion Rate: =SUM(Daily_Activity_Log[Conversions])/SUM(Daily_Activity_Log[Clicks])

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Red Fill (Budget Overrun): If daily spend > 90% of daily budget allocation.
• Yellow Fill (Low ROI): If ROI < 50% AND status = Completed.
• Green Fill (High Performance): CPA < target AND Conversions > 5 on any single activity.
• Status Color Coding: “Pending” = Gray, “In Progress” = Orange, “Completed” = Green, “Blocked” = Red.

Instructions for the User

Each morning at 9:00 AM, assign tasks to team members using the Daily_Activity_Log. Update Status and Time Spent by end of day. Use dropdowns to ensure consistency. Check the Budget_Tracker daily — if any channel exceeds 85% of its daily cap, pause or reallocate immediately. Review the KPI_Dashboard for anomalies (e.g., sudden drop in CTR). At week’s end, export data to generate monthly reports. Always use the Campaign_Calendar to avoid scheduling conflicts. If a task is blocked, document why in Notes and tag your manager.
