Table Structures & Column Definitions

Order Log Sheet (Core Table):

The Campaign Tracker includes columns like Campaign Start/End Date, Channel (Google Ads, Instagram, TV), Target Audience Segment, KPI Goal (e.g., 5% CTR), Actual Performance (%), and Status. The Budget Allocation sheet uses a pivot-ready format with months as columns and campaign names as rows.

Formulas

• =IF(TODAY()>[Due Date], IF([Status]="Pending" OR [Status]="In Progress", "DELAYED", ""), "") — Auto-updates delay status based on calendar date.
• =SUMIFS([Actual Cost], [Campaign Name], CampaignName) — Sums actual spend per campaign for budget comparison.
• =([Revenue Forecast] - [Actual Cost]) / [Actual Cost] — Calculates ROI % per order (used in Dashboard).
• =COUNTIFS([Status], "Completed", [Order Date], ">="&EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1) — Counts completed orders this month.
• =AVERAGEIF([Campaign Name], CampaignName, [ROI %]) — Calculates average ROI by campaign.

Conditional Formatting

The template applies intelligent formatting for instant visual insights:

• Status = “Delayed” → Red background with bold white text.
• Actual Cost > Budget Assigned → Yellow fill (warning).
• ROI % ≥ 150% → Green background with upward arrow icon.
• Due Date within next 3 days → Light orange highlight.
