Formulas Required

In “Campaign Tracker”, column ROI: =IF([@[Budget Spent ($)]]>0, ([@Sales Converted]*AverageSaleValue - [@[Budget Spent ($)]] ) / [@[Budget Spent ($)]] * 100, "")

Budget Spent in Campaign Tracker: =SUMIFS(BudgetAllocation[Amount ($)], BudgetAllocation[Campaign ID], [@Campaign ID])

Progress %: =IFERROR((COUNTIFS(CampaignTracker[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(CampaignTracker[Campaign Name])), 0)

Conditional Formatting Rules

Status = “Over Budget”: If [Budget Spent] > [Budget Assigned], row turns red.

ROI > 150%: Green highlight for exceptional campaigns.

Last Updated over 7 days ago: Yellow background to prompt updates.

Status = “Completed”: Light gray background to visually group finished items.
