  • ROI is calculated as: =IF(ActualSpend>0, ((SalesRevenue-ActualSpend)/ActualSpend)*100,"N/A")
  • The Budget Allocation sheet uses sum formulas to auto-calculate total spend per channel and compare against annual budget limits.
  • The Executive Summary pulls key metrics using SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and AVERAGEIF functions to display top-level KPIs dynamically.

  Conditional Formatting Rules

  • ROI Column: Green if > 150%, Yellow if 50–149%, Red if < 50%.
