Sheet Names

• Data Entry: The primary input sheet where marketing campaigns and sales data are manually entered.
• Summary Dashboard: A visual summary of key metrics with charts and totals for quick insights.
• Campaign Log: A historical record of all past campaigns with performance benchmarks.

Table Structures

The template includes three structured tables, each serving a unique purpose in the marketing-sales feedback loop. Tables are formatted as Excel Tables (Ctrl+T) for dynamic range expansion and automatic formula propagation.

Data Entry Table Structure

Formulas Required

The template uses essential Excel formulas to automate calculations without requiring advanced skills:

• ROI Calculation (Column H in Data Entry): =IF([@Budget]>0, ([@Revenue]-[@Budget])/[@Budget], 0) — Calculates return on investment as a percentage.
• CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) (Column I): =IF([@Leads Generated]>0, [@Budget]/[@Leads Generated], 0) — Determines cost per lead.
• Conversion Rate (Column J): =IF([@Leads Generated]>0, ([@Sales Conversions]/[@Leads Generated])*100, 0) — Shows percentage of leads that became customers.
• Summary Dashboard Totals: SUMIFS and COUNTIFS functions aggregate data from the Data Entry sheet. For example: =SUMIFS(DataEntry[Revenue], DataEntry[Channel], "Social Media") to calculate total revenue by channel.
• Monthly Trend Calculation (Dashboard): Uses pivot tables with slicers for dynamic filtering by date range, channel, or campaign name.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance readability and highlight key insights:

• Revenue > $10,000: Green fill background in the Revenue column.
• ROI > 50%: Bold green text to indicate highly successful campaigns.
• CAC > $200: Red fill for high acquisition costs requiring review.
• Conversion Rate < 5%: Yellow background to flag underperforming campaigns.

User Instructions

1. Start by entering data into the “Data Entry” sheet. Use dropdowns in the Channel column for consistency.
2. Input budget, leads, and sales figures after each campaign ends. Update weekly for best results.
3. Review the “Summary Dashboard” daily—key metrics update automatically as you enter data.
