Table Structures & Columns with Data Types

Daily Tracker Sheet:

The Budget & Spend Log includes columns: Date, Campaign Name, Vendor, Expense Category (Ads, Tools, Freelance), Amount ($), Payment Method, and Receipt #. The Team Performance Summary tracks user name, daily tasks completed % vs target (calculated), average time per task (in minutes), and weekly productivity score.

Formulas Required

• =SUMIF(Daily Tracker!C:C, CampaignDashboard!B3, Daily Tracker!H:H) – Auto-sums daily spend per campaign on the Dashboard.
• =COUNTIFS(Daily Tracker!E:E,"Completed",Daily Tracker!A:A,">="&TODAY()-7) – Counts completed tasks in last 7 days.
• =IF(TODAY() > D2 + 1, "Overdue", IF(E2="Completed","Done","Pending")) – Status alert formula for task deadlines.
• =AVERAGE(F:F) – Average daily time spent (used in Team Summary).
• =VLOOKUP(B2, CampaignOverview!A:D, 4, FALSE) – Pulls campaign goal from Overview sheet into Daily Tracker.

• Red fill: Tasks with status "Blocked" and time spent > 5 hours (flags inefficiency).
