| Date | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | Day when activity occurred. |
| Campaign ID | Text (e.g., CAM-2024-001) | Unique identifier for each marketing campaign. |
| Campaign Name | Text | |

Formulas Required
- In the Marketing Plan Overview, use
SUMIFS()to total budget changes and ROI impact from the Maintenance Log by Campaign ID. COUNTIFS()formulas track how many times each campaign has been adjusted or paused.- A dynamic date formula in the Report Export sheet auto-generates: “Report Generated on: [TODAY()]”
IF()statements conditionally flag campaigns with >10% ROI drop as “At Risk” in the Status column of Overview.- VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP pulls campaign names and owners from a master list to auto-fill data upon entering Campaign ID.
Conditional Formatting
- Highlight rows where Status = "Failed" in red with white text.
- If Budget Impact ($) is less than -$1,000, highlight the cell in dark orange to signal significant overspend or cut.
- Campaigns with a “Next Review Date” within 3 days are highlighted in yellow for urgent follow-up.
- Positive ROI changes (>5%) are colored green to incentivize optimization efforts.
