Monthly Budget ($): Fixed allocation by user.

Cumulative Spend ($): Sum of actuals from Campaign Tracker via SUMIFS.

Budget Variance ($): =Monthly Budget - Cumulative Spend (conditional formatting applied).

Formulas Required

=SUMIFS(BudgetTracker!F:F, BudgetTracker!E:E, A2) — Pulls total spend for each channel.

=IFERROR(I2/H2,"N/A") — Calculates CPL safely to avoid #DIV/0 errors.

=IF(J2>5, "High ROI", IF(J2>3, "Medium ROI", "Low ROI")) — Classifies campaign efficiency.

=SUM(BudgetAllocation!C:C) — Total monthly spend across all channels.

=IF(NOW()>End_Date, "Past Due", IF(TODAY()<=Start_Date, "Upcoming", "Active")) — Dynamic campaign status indicator (in helper column).

Conditional Formatting Rules

Budget Variance: Red if negative (< 0), green if > $500 over budget, amber if between -$50 and $50.

CPL: Red if > $15, amber if $8–$14, green if ≤$7.

ROAS: Green for ROAS ≥ 4.0, yellow for 2–3.99, red below 2.0.

Status: Yellow fill if “Delayed”, gray if “Canceled”, blue if “Planned”.

Instructions for the User

Begin by entering your monthly budget in the Budget Allocation sheet under each channel.

In Campaign Tracker, create new campaigns using unique IDs and fill out details. Use dropdowns to maintain consistency.

Update actual spend weekly or biweekly. The template auto-updates KPIs like CPL and ROAS.
