  John Doe	Marketing Manager	75000	15%	92%	=C2*D2*E2/100	=C2+F2

  Data Types: Text (Name, Role), Currency (Salary, Bonus), Percentage (KPI Achievement). Role column uses data validation with options: Digital Marketer, Content Writer, SEO Specialist, Social Media Manager, Marketing Analyst.

  2. Campaign Budget & Expenses

  The “Spent” column auto-sums from linked expense rows (in a hidden sheet), and Remaining = Budget – Spent.

  Campaign ID	Campaign Name	Start Date	End Date	Budget ($)	Spent ($)	Remaining ($)

  CPL = Cost Per Lead; ROAS = Return on Ad Spend. Formulas are auto-populated based on linked cells from the Campaign Budget sheet.

  4. Dashboards & Charts Sheet

  • Bar Chart: Team Compensation vs KPI Achievement – Shows how bonus payouts correlate with individual performance.
  • Line Chart: Campaign ROI Over Time – Tracks ROAS weekly, helping identify trends.

  All charts are linked to live data and auto-refresh when inputs change.

  • =VLOOKUP(B2, RolePayRates!$A$2:$B$10, 2, FALSE) → Pulls base salary from a master role-rate table (editable).
