Essential Formulas
- In InvoicesData!F2: =D2*E2 (calculates TotalAmount from Quantity × UnitPrice)
- In MarketingPlanOverview!H3: =SUMIFS(InvoicesData[TotalAmount], InvoicesData[CampaignID], [@CampaignID]) – sums invoice totals per campaign.
- In BudgetAllocation!F2: =SUMIFS(InvoicesData[TotalAmount], InvoicesData[CampaignID], [@CampaignID], InvoicesData[ServiceProvided], "*"&[@Channel]&"*") – aggregates spend by channel.
- In Dashboard!B5: =IF([@BudgetSpent] > [@BudgetPlanned]*1.1, "OVERRUN", IF([@BudgetSpent] > [@BudgetPlanned]*0.8, "On Track", "Under Spent")) – automated budget health indicator.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- BudgetAllocation Sheet: Cells in BudgetSpent column turn red if > 110% of Planned, yellow if >85%, green otherwise.
- InvoicesData Sheet: Rows with Status = “Overdue” have red background; “Paid” rows are green.
- MarketingPlanOverview: Highlight campaigns where TotalSpent exceeds TotalBudgetApproved in bold red text.
User Instructions
- Setup: Enter your campaign details in the MarketingPlanOverview sheet. Assign unique CampaignID and define planned budget and timeline.
- Invoicing: For every completed marketing activity (e.g., 5 ad sets run, 10 blog posts published), add a row in InvoicesData. Use the dropdowns for ServiceProvided to maintain consistency.
- Tracking Spend: Update BudgetSpent in BudgetAllocation based on actual payments received or expenses incurred (e.g., ad spend receipts).
- Dashboard: The Dashboard tab auto-updates. Review KPIs weekly: total invoiced, budget utilization rate, and ROI per channel.
- Exporting: To generate a client invoice PDF, filter the InvoicesData sheet by InvoiceID and use Excel’s “Print to PDF” feature or copy-paste into Word.
- Validation: Never manually edit CampaignID in InvoicesData – always select from the Data Validation list to maintain integrity.
