Key Formulas

In Cash Flow Projections: Net Cash Flow = (Marketing Spend + Debt Payments) from all active campaigns and loans. Uses SUMIFS to aggregate by month.

In KPI Tracker: ROI = ((Lifetime Customer Value × Customers Acquired) - Actual Spent) / Actual Spent.

Conditional logic in Funding Source: If “Debt-Funded” is selected, a warning appears if debt-to-revenue ratio exceeds 2.5x (see Risk Analysis).

Conditional Formatting

Red fill: Actual Spent > Budget Allocated by 15% or more.

Yellow fill: Monthly Debt Payment exceeds 20% of projected monthly revenue.

Green fill: ROI > 300% and CAC < Lifetime Customer Value / 5.

Text color change: If Remaining Balance on debt is above 80% of Principal, text turns red with “High Leverage Alert.”

User Instructions

Step-by-step Usage:

Input all active debt instruments in the Debt Schedule sheet first — ensure accurate interest rates and terms.

In Marketing Campaigns Budget, list all planned campaigns. Assign each to a funding source (“Debt-Funded” or otherwise).

Weekly, update “Actual Spent” and number of customers acquired.

The Dashboard auto-updates with charts showing debt burden vs. campaign performance.

Monitor Risk Analysis for warnings: if monthly debt payments exceed 30% of projected sales, consider adjusting spend or refinancing.

Do NOT delete rows — use “Clear Contents” to reset data. All formulas reference structured ranges.
