Table Structures, Columns & Data Types

Raw_Data Sheet:

The remaining sheets are linked to this data via structured references and dynamic formulas. The Campaign_Metrics sheet uses SUMIFS and COUNTIFS to roll up totals by Campaign_ID, Channel, and Month. The Budget_Allocation sheet compares planned spend (user-entered) versus actual spend (sum of COST_USD from Raw_Data). Forecasts are generated using linear regression or moving averages on historical data.
