SHEET STRUCTURE & TABLES

This template contains three meticulously organized sheets:

• Data Input – The primary working sheet where users enter campaign details.
• Profit Summary – Automatically calculates aggregated profit metrics per channel and overall ROI.
• Dashboards – Displays visual KPIs and trends using built-in charts (no add-ins required).

Data Input Sheet — Table Structure & Columns

This sheet contains a single table with the following columns, each with defined data types:

Formulas

All critical formulas are embedded and hidden from direct editing to prevent errors:

• =IF([@Conversions]>0, [@Budget]/[@Conversions], "") → CPA calculation.
• =[@[Revenue Generated ($)]]-[@Budget] → Profit formula.
• =IF([@Budget]>0, ([@Profit]/[@Budget])*100, "") → ROI percentage with error handling.
• =SUMIFS([Profit ($)], [Channel], "Facebook") → Used in Profit Summary to aggregate by channel.
• =AVERAGEIF([Channel], "Email", [ROI (%)]) → Calculates average ROI per channel on the summary sheet.
• =SUM([Profit ($)]) / SUM([Budget]) * 100 → Overall company marketing ROI.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual decision-making:

• Profit ($): Green if > $0, red if < $0.
• ROI (%): Green ≥ 150%, yellow 50–149%, red < 50%.
• Budget ($): Highlighted in light orange if over $2,000 (to flag high-risk spends).
• Channel: Background color coded by channel (e.g., Facebook = blue, Google = green) for instant visual grouping.

To use this template effectively:

1. Enter campaign details in the Data Input sheet. Use dropdowns for Channel and dates.
