The template consists of seven core sheets:

• Executive Summary
• Campaign Objectives

  Formula: Column H (“Progress %”) uses: =IF(E2="Completed",100,IF(E2="In Progress",(TODAY()-F2+30)/(F2-DATEDIFF(F2,TODAY())+30)*100, 0))

  Conditional formatting on “Variance” column: Green if >$0 (under budget), Red if <$0 (over budget).

  Executive Summary Sheet

  A dashboard-style summary pulling data from all sheets using formulas:

  • Total active campaigns: =COUNTIF('Marketing Calendar'!E:E,"Active")
  • Overall completion rate: Average of Progress % from Campaign Objectives.
  • Top performing channel: MAX of budget ROI (calculated on Budget Allocation sheet).

  Recommended Charts & Dashboards
