Formulas Required

- Summing Total Budget: `=SUMIF(Budget_Allocation[Channel], "Digital Ads", Budget_Allocation[Actual Spend])` - Budget Variance: `=Budget_Allocation[Budget Requested] - Budget_Allocation[Actual Spend]` (with conditional formatting for negative values) - Progress Tracker (in Campaign Calendar): `=IF(TODAY() < Start_Date, "Not Started", IF(TODAY() > End_Date, "Completed", "In Progress"))` - Cumulative Spend by Campaign: `=SUMIFS(Budget_Allocation[Actual Spend], Budget_Allocation[Campaign], [@[Campaign]])` - ROI Calculation (in Dashboard): `=(Revenue - Total_Spend) / Total_Spend`

Conditional Formatting

- Red background for any actual spend exceeding budget request. - Amber text and bold font for campaigns with status "On Hold" or due dates within 7 days. - Green checkmark icons (using Excel’s icon sets) to denote "Completed" tasks in the Collaboration Log. - Color scales applied to KPIs in the Dashboard, where higher values are shaded darker green.
