Conditional Formatting
Over Budget (Variance > $0): Red fill on variance cell to highlight overspending.

No Revenue Generated: Yellow highlight on campaign row if Revenue = $0 and Actual Spend > $0, prompting review.
Savings Goal Progress: Color-coded progress bars in the Savings & Financial Goals sheet based on percentage completion of quarterly targets (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
Instructions for the User
Begin by setting your quarterly marketing budget based on personal financial capacity — never exceed 15–30% of net monthly income.
For each campaign, enter planned spend in the “Budgeted Amount” column. Update “Actual Spend” as payments are made from your personal or business account.
Log every dollar earned directly from a marketing campaign in the Income & Revenue Tracker, linking it to the correct Campaign Name.
Review the Quarterly Overview dashboard weekly to monitor ROI and adjust spending before quarter-end.
If any campaign shows negative ROI for two consecutive weeks, pause or pivot strategy.
Use “Savings & Financial Goals” to automatically allocate a portion of net marketing profits (e.g., 30%) toward personal goals like retirement or debt payoff.
Print the Charts & Dashboard sheet monthly for financial review meetings with a partner, advisor, or yourself.
