It enables data-driven decisions by correlating campaign forecasts with warehouse movement costs, carrying charges, turnover rates, and ROI calculations—all presented in a visually intuitive financial dashboard.

3. Financial Summary Sheet
This sheet consolidates key metrics across all campaigns and inventory movements:
- Total Marketing Spend ($)

- Net Profit from Campaigns = Total Revenue - (Marketing Spend + Carrying Costs)
- ROI by Product Category

- =IFERROR([@Expected Revenue]/[@Budget Allocated]-1, 0) — Calculates ROI with error handling.
- =SUMPRODUCT((InventoryLog[SKU Code]=[@SKU])*InventoryLog[Sales (Units)]*InventoryLog[Avg. Cost]) — Computes COGS for financial summaries.
Conditional Formatting
- Red Fill: If ROI < 0% in Marketing Campaigns sheet.

- Green Fill: If Inventory Turnover Ratio > industry benchmark (configurable in Settings).
