Formulas & Automation

The template uses dynamic formulas to link data across sheets:

=SUMIFS(CashFlow!$B$6:$B$8, MarketingCampaigns!$C:$C, B1) to auto-calculate inflow by campaign type.
=IF(B34<0,"Negative Cash Flow","Healthy") for quick status indicators.
=SUMPRODUCT((MarketingCampaigns!$D$2:$D$100<=MONTH(TODAY()))*(MarketingCampaigns!$E$2:$E$100>=MONTH(TODAY()))*MarketingCampaigns!$F$2:$F$100) to auto-populate current month’s budget based on active campaigns.

Conditional Formatting

Red fill: Negative Net Cash Flow for any month.
Yellow fill: Outflows exceeding 110% of budgeted amount per category.
Green fill: Positive net flow and ROI > 3:1 (calculated automatically).
