Formulas Required
- Total Weekly Spend: =SUMIFS(Budget!D:D,Budget!B:B,"Paid Ads") + SUMIFS(Budget!D:D,Budget!B:B,"Tools") — dynamically sums spend per category.
- Weekly Task Completion Rate: =COUNTIF(WeeklyPlanner!D:D,"Completed")/COUNTA(WeeklyPlanner!D:D) — calculates % of tasks completed.
- ROI Calculation (KPI Dashboard): =(Leads Generated * Avg. Revenue Per Lead - Total Spend) / Total Spend * 100 — dynamically pulls data from Budget and KPI sheets.
- Date-based Week Number: =WEEKNUM(A2,2) — auto-generates week number from the date for consistent reporting.
Conditional Formatting
- Status Column (Weekly Planner): Green fill if "Completed", yellow if "In Progress", gray if "Not Started".
- Budget Tracker: Red highlight for any expense over $500 in a single entry.
- KPI Dashboard: Color scales on ROI column — green above 15%, yellow between 5%-15%, red below 5%.
- Content Calendar: Bold text for posts scheduled today; strikethrough for past dates with status “Published”.
