Table Structures & Columns (Campaign Schedule Sheet)

Required Formulas

• In the Main Dashboard, use =SUMIFS(BudgetAllocation!D:D, BudgetAllocation!C:C, "Social Media") to auto-sum channel expenditures.
• =DATEDIF(Start_Date, TODAY(), "d") calculates days elapsed; used with conditional formatting to highlight delayed tasks.
• =COUNTIFS(CampaignSchedule!G:G, "Completed") / COUNTA(CampaignSchedule!G:G) computes overall completion rate as a percentage for the dashboard KPI.
• =IF(AND(TODAY()>End_Date, Status<>"Completed"), "OVERDUE", "") flags late tasks automatically.
• VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH functions dynamically pull budget values from the Budget Allocation sheet into Campaign Schedule to avoid manual data entry errors.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Overdue Tasks: Red background if End Date < TODAY() AND Status ≠ “Completed”
• Prioritized Tasks: Yellow border when "Prioritized?" = Yes
• Status Colors: Green (Completed), Amber (In Progress), Gray (Not Started), Orange (On Hold)
• Budget Alerts: Red fill if Budget Assigned > 120% of allocated monthly budget.
