=D2*[Settings!$B$1]where B1 is the tax rate stored in Settings. - In Campaign Performance, Total Spend:
=SUMIFS('Marketing Plan Overview'!$D:$D, 'Marketing Plan Overview'!$A:$A, SalesTracker!B2) - Conversion Rate (Campaign Performance):
=COUNTIF(SalesTracker!G:G,"New")/COUNTA(SalesTracker!B:B)*100(measures new customers generated per campaign). - ROI Calculation:
=(SUMIF(SalesTracker!B:B,CampaignID,SalesTracker!F:F) - SUMIF('Marketing Plan Overview'!A:A,CampaignID,'Marketing Plan Overview'!D:D))/SUMIF('Marketing Plan Overview'!A:A,CampaignID,'Marketing Plan Overview'!D:D)*100
