FORMULAS REQUIRED

In the Budget & Cost Tracking sheet: =SUMIFS(ShoppingList[Estimated Cost], ShoppingList[Campaign Linked], MasterDashboard!$B$3) — dynamically sums estimated costs per campaign based on a dropdown selector.

In the same sheet: =SUMIFS(ShoppingList[Actual Cost], ShoppingList[Campaign Linked], MasterDashboard!$B$3) - SUMIFS(ShoppingList[Estimated Cost], ShoppingList[Campaign Linked], MasterDashboard!$B$3) — calculates budget variance.

In the Master Planning Dashboard: =COUNTIF(ShoppingList[Status], "Completed") / COUNTA(ShoppingList[Item ID]) — calculates overall completion percentage.

A helper column in Shopping List: =IF([@Actual Cost]="", "", IF([@Actual Cost]>[@Estimated Cost]*1.1, "Over Budget", IF([@Actual Cost]<[@Estimated Cost]*0.9, "Under Budget", "On Track"))) — auto-classifies cost efficiency.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

Priority Level: High → Red background with white font.

Status = Pending for > 7 days → Yellow flash animation (using Excel’s "New Rule" with formula: =AND([@Status]="Pending", TODAY()-[@Order Date]>7))

Variance > +10% → Red fill on Actual Cost cell.

Variance < -15% → Green fill indicating savings.

Delivery Date passed & Status ≠ Delivered → Bold red border with warning icon (via icon set).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

This template is designed for enterprise marketing managers overseeing multi-million-dollar campaigns. Begin by populating the Vendor Management sheet with all approved vendors, including contact info and payment terms. Use the Campaign Timeline & Dependencies sheet to map out interdependencies (e.g., “Video production must finish before digital ad launch”). Update the Shopping List daily as assets are procured — never assume inventory is ready without confirmation. Budget figures are estimates; always update Actual Cost upon invoice receipt to maintain accuracy. The dashboard updates automatically; review it weekly with finance teams. Use the ROI Analytics Summary sheet only after campaign close, importing Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, and CRM data for final calculation.
