Budget Allocation Sheet

Allows team leads to assign and track monthly budget limits per campaign type. Uses data validation drop-downs for category selection and SUMIFS formulas to auto-populate the Cash Flow Forecast sheet.

Key Formulas

Ending Cash Balance: =IF([@[Date]]="Jan-2025", $B$3, OFFSET([@[Ending Cash Balance]],-1,0) + [@[Net Cash Flow]])

Total Outflows: =SUM([Ad Spend]:[Other Marketing Expenses])

Net Cash Flow: =[@[Marketing Inflows]] - [@[Total Outflows]]

Campaign Spend Summary (Cash Flow): Uses SUMIFS to pull actual spend from Campaign Tracker based on month and campaign type.

Conditional Formatting

Red Highlight: Applied to any month where Net Cash Flow is negative.

Yellow Highlight: Used when Actual Spend exceeds Budget Allocation by 10% or more.

Green Highlight: Applied if Marketing Inflows exceed Total Outflows by 20%+ (high ROI).

User Instructions

Setup: Enter your starting cash balance in the "Executive Summary" tab.

Campaign Planning: Add all planned campaigns to the "Marketing Campaign Tracker," assigning start/end dates and budgets.

Monthly Updates: Every month, update “Actual Spend” and “Marketing Inflows” in the Cash Flow Forecast sheet. The system auto-calculates cash position.

Budget Control: Use the Budget Allocation sheet to set monthly caps — the dashboard will alert you when limits are approached.

Team Collaboration: This template supports Excel Online/SharePoint. Assign different campaign owners to update their own data. Protect critical formula cells (e.g., Ending Balance) to prevent accidental overwrites.
