Table Structures & Column Definitions

The Weekly_Data sheet contains the following table structure with precise data types:

Key Formulas Required

• In the ROI_Calculations sheet:
  • =IFERROR([@Sales_Revenue]/[@Budget_Used], 0) → ROI Ratio (Revenue per dollar spent)
  • =IFERROR([@Budget_Used]/[@Conversions], 0) → Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)
  • =SUMIFS(Weekly_Data[Budget_Used], Weekly_Data[Channel], Dashboard!$B4) → Channel-wise budget summary
  • =SUMPRODUCT((Weekly_Data[Date]>=TODAY()-7)*(Weekly_Data[Date]<=TODAY()), Weekly_Data[Sales_Revenue]) → Last week’s total revenue
• In the Dashboard sheet:
  • =AVERAGE(ROI_Calculations[ROI_Ratio]) → Avg. Weekly ROI across all campaigns
  • =SUMIF(Weekly_Data[Channel], "Facebook", Weekly_Data[Budget_Used]) → Budget spent on Facebook (dynamic for each channel)

Conditional Formatting Rules

• In the Weekly_Data sheet: Highlight any row where CPA > $100 in red (warning threshold).
• If ROI > 3.5, apply green background to the ROI column cell.
• If Conversions = 0 but Clicks > 100, apply yellow fill as a “low conversion anomaly” alert.
• In the Dashboard: Color-code KPI tiles based on variance vs budget target — green if ≥95%, amber if 85–94%, red if <85%.

Instructions for the User

Each Monday, users should:

1. Open the template and navigate to Weekly_Data.
2. Add new rows for all campaigns executed in the previous week using dropdowns for Channel and Campaign_ID.
3. Enter exact figures for Budget_Used, Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, and Sales_Revenue. Use decimal precision (e.g., 1543.78) to ensure accuracy.
4. Do not modify formulas or protected cells on the Dashboard or ROI_Calculations sheets — these are locked for integrity.
5. Update the monthly budget in Budget_Allocation only at the start of each month. Weekly spend must not exceed cumulative allocated budgets without approval.
6. The Dashboard refreshes automatically upon data entry due to dynamic named ranges and structured references. Check for color-coded alerts before sharing with stakeholders.
