This template is not just a calendar of meals; it’s a dynamic marketing tool that tracks campaign performance against dietary consumption trends.

In Marketing_Campaigns!Actual_Sales: Uses SUMIFS to pull sales from Daily_Meal_Log where Campaign_Associated matches Campaign_ID, enabling automatic performance tracking.

In Daily_Meal_Log!Campaign_Associated: Data validation list pulling unique Campaign_Name values from Marketing_Campaigns using a dynamic named range.

In Ingredient_Inventory: =IF([@Current_Stock]<=[@Reorder_Level], "LOW STOCK", "") — triggers alerts for ingredient shortages that could disrupt meal plans and campaigns.

In KPI_Dashboard: =AVERAGE(Daily_Meal_Log!Satisfaction_Score) — calculates average user satisfaction tied to marketing campaigns.

Campaign_Status: Red if “Paused,” Green if “Active,” Gray if “Completed.”

Satisfaction_Score: Color scales: 1=Red, 5=Green — instantly highlights popular vs. unpopular meals.

Ingredient_Inventory: Red fill when Current_Stock ≤ Reorder_Level.

Daily_Meal_Log: Highlight rows where Diet_Category ≠ Campaign_Associated to flag inconsistencies (marketing vs. actual consumption mismatch).
