Profit Tracker Sheet

This is the financial core. Each row represents a transaction linked to a Campaign ID.

Formulas Required

• In “Profit Tracker”, Column E (Total Profit): =SUMIFS([Amount], [Campaign ID], [@Campaign ID], [Type], "Income") - SUMIFS([Amount], [Campaign ID], [@Campaign ID], [Type], "Expense") — dynamically calculates net profit per campaign row.
• In “Dashboards”, ROI (Return on Investment): =IFERROR(SUMIF(Profit Tracker!B:B, Dashboard!A2, Profit Tracker!D:D) / SUMIF(Profit Tracker!B:B, Dashboard!A2, Profit Tracker!E:E), 0) — calculates profit-to-cost ratio per campaign.
• In “Marketing Plan”, Budget Utilization %: =SUMIFS(Profit Tracker!D:D, Profit Tracker!B:B, [@Campaign ID], Profit Tracker!C:C,"Expense") / [@Budget] — shows how much of your budget you’ve spent.

Conditional Formatting

• In “Marketing Plan” sheet: Status = Completed → Green fill; Budget Utilization > 100% → Red highlight.
• In “Profit Tracker”: Income amounts in green, expenses in red. If Total Profit is negative → text turns red with warning icon.
