=SUMIF(PerformanceAnalytics!B:B,CampaignName,PerformanceAnalytics!E:E) - Click-Through Rate:
=IF(E2=0,0,D2/E2), formatted as percentage. - Status Color Logic: Conditional formatting based on date comparisons and completion status.
Conditional Formatting
Key visual cues enhance readability:- Tasks in the "Daily Action Tracker" with a priority of "High" are highlighted in red.
- Status field turns green for “Completed,” yellow for “In Progress,” and red for “Delayed.”
- In the Campaign Dashboard, if the Actual Impressions are below 80% of Target, cells turn amber; below 60%, they turn red.
- Deadline columns show a warning (red border) if today’s date is past the due date and status is not “Completed.”
