Formulas Required
- In Total_Cost:
=Channel_Spend + Agency_Fee - In ROI_Percentage:
=IF(Total_Cost>0, (Amount_Billed - Total_Cost)/Total_Cost, 0) - In the Dashboard, use SUMIFS to aggregate monthly spend:
=SUMIFS(Monthly_Invoice_Log[Channel_Spend], Monthly_Invoice_Log[Date_Issued], ">="&DATE(2024,1,1), Monthly_Invoice_Log[Date_Issued], "<="&EOMONTH(DATE(2024,1,1),0)) - In Budget_Allocation: Use VLOOKUP to pull planned budget from Reference_Data and compare against SUM of actual spend.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status = "Overdue": Row background turns red if Payment_Due_Date is before TODAY().
- ROI_Percentage > 150%: Text color green, bold.
- ROI_Percentage < 50%: Text color orange, indicating low efficiency.
- Total_Cost > Budget_Allocation: Highlight cell in yellow to flag overspending.
