Variance Analysis: = Actual Spend - Budgeted Spend (to show over/under budget)
Cumulative Monthly Spending: = SUMIF(Campaign Name, "Current Campaign", Monthly Spend Columns)
Forecasting Model (Sheet 5): Uses linear trend forecasting with =FORECAST.LINEAR() based on historical data and growth rate assumptions.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Budget Overrun Alerts: If "Actual Spend" > "Budget Allocated", apply red fill with white text.
Positive ROI Highlighting: If ROI ≥ 25%, highlight cell in green; otherwise, use yellow for caution.
KPI Status Colors: Use color scales (green = target met, yellow = near target, red = missed).
Forecast Accuracy Band: Color cells based on deviation from forecasted revenue (e.g., green if within ±5%, amber if ±6–10%, red otherwise).
