Net Cash Flow from Marketing: Calculated as (Sales Revenue + Lead Value) – Marketing Spend. Data Type: Currency ($).
ROI (%): Formula-driven percentage showing return on investment per period. Data Type: Percentage.
Cumulative Net Cash Flow: Running total of net cash flow from start to current period. Data Type: Currency ($).
Budget vs Actual Variance: Difference between planned budget and actual spend. Positive = under budget, Negative = over budget. Data Type: Currency ($).

Formulas Required

Net Cash Flow from Marketing: =([@[Sales Revenue Attributed to Marketing]] + [@[Lead Generation Value]]) - [@[Marketing Spend]]
ROI (%): =IF([@[Marketing Spend]]<>0, [@[Net Cash Flow from Marketing]] / [@[Marketing Spend]], 0)
Cumulative Net Cash Flow: =SUM($F$2:F2) (absolute reference to start of column F)
Budget vs Actual Variance: =[@[Marketing Spend Budget]] - [@[Marketing Spend]]
Lead Generation Value: Uses lookup table from Campaign Budget Allocation sheet: =IF([@[Period]]="Jan-2024", VLOOKUP("Jan-2024", CampaignBudgetAllocation!$A:$E, 5, FALSE), "")

Conditional Formatting

To enhance client readability and highlight performance:

Net Cash Flow from Marketing: Green if > $0; Red if < $0.
ROI (%): Blue if ≥ 300%; Yellow if 150–299%; Orange if 50–149%; Red if < 50%.
Budget Variance: Red for over-budget (negative values); Green for under-budget (positive values).
Cumulative Net Cash Flow: Gradient fill from red (negative) to green (positive) using data bars.

Instructions for the User

1. Begin by entering your marketing campaign details in the Campaign Budget Allocation sheet. Specify each campaign name, target audience, channel (e.g., Google Ads, Social Media), planned spend per period, and expected conversion rate. 2. In the Revenue Attribution sheet, input actual sales data with UTM parameters or CRM IDs to match revenue back to campaigns. 3. Populate the “Marketing Spend” column in the Cash Flow Statement with real-world expenditure data from accounting systems. 4. The template automatically calculates lead value using weighted averages from your assumed conversion rates and average deal size (defined in Assumptions & Notes). 5. Update Periods monthly—new rows auto-expand with formatting and formulas. 6. Review the Charts & Dashboard sheet for visual performance indicators. Do not edit charts directly—update underlying data instead. 7. All inputs should reflect client-specific data only; avoid editing locked cells marked with a yellow background.
