Table Structures & Columns
The core functionality resides in the 12 monthly sheets: Daily Planner (January), Daily Planner (February), etc. Each contains a table with the following columns:
| Column | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Date (DD/MM/YYYY) | Each row represents one calendar day of the month. |
| Day of Week | Text (e.g., Monday) | Auto-populated using =TEXT(A2,"dddd") |
| Marketing Channel | List (Dropdown: Email, Social Media, Paid Ads, Content, Events, SEO) | Select primary channel for the day’s activity. |
| Activity Type | Text (free-form or dropdown) | e.g., “Launch Instagram Reel”, “Send Weekly Newsletter”, “Bid on Google Keywords” |
| Description | Text (200 char max) | Detailed task description for team clarity. |
| Status | List (Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Delayed) | |
| Owner | ||
| Time Spent (hrs) | ||
| Budget Allocated ($) | ||
| Budget Used ($) | ||
| Lead Generated | ||
| Conversion Rate (%) |
The Annual Overview sheet consolidates monthly totals from each daily planner using SUMIFS and COUNTIFS, linking to the same data fields across months. The Budget Tracker uses pivot tables to visualize total spend per channel against annual targets.

=SUM(DailyPlanner:DailyPlanner!J:J)with named ranges.
Conditional Formatting Rules

- Status = "Delayed": Row highlighted in orange for urgent attention.

- Time Spent > 4 hours: Yellow fill to identify high-effort tasks requiring optimization.
