Formulas Required for Automation & Accuracy
To ensure dynamic and accurate data tracking, the following formulas are embedded across worksheets:
- Daily Total Spent (Budget Summary Sheet):
=SUMIF('Daily Bill Log'!A:A, TODAY(), 'Daily Bill Log'!E:E)– Calculates total spend for today. - Monthly Spend by Category (Monthly Summary Report):
=SUMIFS('Daily Bill Log'!E:E, 'Daily Bill Log'!A:A, ">= "&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), 'Daily Bill Log'!A:A, "<= "&EOMONTH(TODAY(),0), 'Daily Bill Log'!C:C, A2)– Sums spend per category for the current month. - Budget vs. Actual (Budget Summary Sheet):
=IF(Actual_Spent > Budget_Allowed, "Over Budget", IF(Actual_Spent = Budget_Allowed, "On Track", "Under Budget"))– Provides color-coded status. - ROI Calculation (Daily Bill Log):
=IF(I2<>"", J2*100, "")– Converts ROI estimate into percentage format. - Total Campaign Spend (Campaign Performance Dashboard):
=SUMIFS('Daily Bill Log'!E:E, 'Daily Bill Log'!B:B, B2)– Totals all expenses per campaign.
Conditional Formatting for Visual Clarity
To enhance readability and highlight critical data points:
- Over Budget Alerts (Budget Summary Sheet): Red fill with white text when actual spend exceeds the budget.
- Pending/Bill Status Highlighting (Daily Bill Log): Orange background for "Pending" bills, red for "Overdue", green for "Paid".
- Spending Trends in Dashboard: Gradient fill from light blue (low spend) to dark blue (high spend) based on daily amounts.
- ROI Thresholds (Dashboard): Green if ROI > 20%, yellow if 10–20%, red if below 10%.
