Formulas Required

• In the Budget Tracker, "Remaining ($)" uses: =Budgeted - Spent

Recommended Charts & Dashboards

The Dashboard sheet features four interactive charts:

• Task Status Pie Chart – Visualizes progress distribution across Not Started, In Progress, Completed.
• Budget Utilization Bar Chart – Compares allocated vs. spent per category with thresholds.
• Timeline Gantt View (Bar Chart) – Displays task durations as horizontal bars over time, ideal for visualizing campaign overlaps and bottlenecks.
• KPI Summary Cards – Large numeric tiles showing total campaigns, % complete, total spent, remaining budget.

All charts are linked to live data. When a user updates the “Marketing Calendar” or “Budget Tracker,” the Dashboard auto-refreshes—no manual updating required. This dynamic integration is what makes this template truly Editable, adaptive, and professional-grade for any marketing team aiming for efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
