1. Data Input Sheet

This is the primary data entry point. All campaign-related figures are entered here in a structured Excel Table named “tbl_MarketingData” with the following columns:

• CampaignID (Text): Unique identifier for each campaign (e.g., “CAM-2024-Q1-FB”).
• CampaignName (Text): Descriptive name of the campaign (e.g., “Summer Sale – Instagram Ads”).
• Channel (Text): Marketing channel used (e.g., Facebook, Google Ads, Email, Influencer).
• StartDate (Date): Start date of the campaign.
• EndDate (Date): End date of the campaign.
• BudgetSpent (Currency): Actual amount spent on this campaign in USD ($).
• RevenueGenerated (Currency): Total sales revenue directly attributed to the campaign via UTM tracking or promo codes ($).
• LeadsGenerated (Number): Total number of qualified leads from the campaign.
• CPL (Number, Calculated): Cost Per Lead = BudgetSpent / LeadsGenerated.
• ConversionRate (Percentage, Calculated): Conversion Rate = (Total Sales / LeadsGenerated) * 100.
• Profit (Currency, Calculated): Profit = RevenueGenerated - BudgetSpent.
• ROAS (Number, Calculated): Return on Ad Spend = RevenueGenerated / BudgetSpent.

2. Profit Summary Sheet

This sheet aggregates data from “Data Input” using structured references and SUMIFS functions to provide a high-level view of profitability by channel, month, and quarter:

• Month (Text): Extracted from StartDate via TEXT function.
• Channel (Text): Same as in Data Input.
• TotalBudgetSpent (Currency): =SUMIFS(tbl_MarketingData[BudgetSpent], tbl_MarketingData[Channel], [@Channel], tbl_MarketingData[Month], [@Month])
• TotalRevenueGenerated (Currency): =SUMIFS(tbl_MarketingData[RevenueGenerated], tbl_MarketingData[Channel], [@Channel], tbl_MarketingData[Month], [@Month])
• TotalProfit (Currency): =[@TotalRevenueGenerated] - [@TotalBudgetSpent]
• AverageROAS (Number): =AVERAGEIFS(tbl_MarketingData[ROAS], tbl_MarketingData[Channel], [@Channel], tbl_MarketingData[Month], [@Month])
• ProfitMargin% (Percentage): =[@TotalProfit] / [@TotalRevenueGenerated]

3. Campaign Metrics Sheet

This sheet provides drill-down analytics using PivotTables connected to tbl_MarketingData. It includes metrics such as top-performing campaigns, CPL trends, and conversion rate rankings.

4. Budget Allocation Sheet

A planning worksheet that allows users to pre-allocate budget by channel and month against the Marketing Plan goals. This sheet compares planned vs actual spend using conditional formatting: green if under budget, red if over, yellow if within 10% variance.

5. Dashboard (Read-Only)

A visual summary of key performance indicators generated with pivot charts and sparklines. No data entry is allowed here—it pulls dynamically from the other sheets.

Formulas

• Profit = RevenueGenerated - BudgetSpent
• ROAS = RevenueGenerated / BudgetSpent (wrapped in IFERROR to handle zero values)
• CPL = IF(LeadsGenerated > 0, BudgetSpent / LeadsGenerated, “N/A”)
• ConversionRate = IF(LeadsGenerated > 0, (SalesCount / LeadsGenerated) * 100, “N/A”)
• Monthly Totals use SUMIFS across Date and Channel filters.

Conditional Formatting

• Profit Column (Data Input): Green if > $0, red if <$0.
• ROAS Column: Greeen if > 3.0 (excellent), yellow if between 1.5–2.9, red below 1.5.
• Budget Allocation Sheet: Color-coded variance indicators as described above.

Instructions for the User
