Table Structures & Data Types
Each sheet uses structured Excel tables with defined columns and data types to ensure data integrity.1. Marketing Campaign Tracker
| Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | Campaign ID (Text) | Text (Unique Key) | Alphanumeric code (e.g., MKT-2024-Q3-01) | | Product SKU (Text) | Text, linked to Inventory Ledger | Identifies product targeted by campaign | | Campaign Name (Text) | Text | Descriptive name of the promotion | | Start Date (Date) | Date Format YYYY-MM-DD | Campaign launch date | | End Date (Date) | Date Format YYYY-MM-DD | Scheduled conclusion date | | Channel (Dropdown) | List: Email, Social Media, Paid Search, Influencer, Retailer Co-op | Marketing channel used | | Budget Allocated ($ USD) | Currency (Decimal) | Total budget approved for the campaign | | Expected Reach (Units) | Integer | Projected number of impressions or audience size | | Target Conversion Rate (%) | Percentage (0.01–1.00) | Goal for conversion rate from campaign to sale | | Actual Conversions (Units) | Integer, auto-calculated via formula | Tracked post-campaign | | ROI (Return on Investment) (%) | Percentage, calculated formula field |2.

Demand Forecasting Model
Uses time-series modeling with regression and seasonality adjustments based on: - Historical sales data (12–24 months) - Campaign influence multipliers derived from past performance - Seasonal trends (e.g., holiday spikes) Input columns: Date, Base Demand (Units), Campaign Impact Factor, Seasonality Index.Formulas Required
Advanced formulas are embedded across sheets to ensure automation and accuracy:- Marketing Campaign Tracker:
=IF(AND([@StartDate]<=TODAY(), [@EndDate]>=TODAY()), "Active", IF([@EndDate]=[@Budget Allocated] * (1 + [@[Target Conversion Rate]])– Projected revenue estimate.
- Inventory Ledger:
=IF([@Current Stock Level] <= [@Reorder Point], "Reorder Now", IF([@Current Stock Level] >= [@Safety Stock Level], "In Target Range", "Overstock"))– Status tagging via conditional logic.=[@On-Order Quantity] + [@Current Stock Level]– Total Available Inventory (for future visibility).
- Demand Forecasting Model:
=FORECAST.ETS([@Date], SalesHistory, TimeAxis, 1, 0.85)– Exponential smoothing for trend forecasting.=[@Base Demand] * (1 + [@[Campaign Impact Factor]]) * [@Seasonality Index]– Adjusted forecast considering campaign and seasonality.
Conditional Formatting
Strategic use of color-coding enhances data readability:- Campaign Status: Red for "Completed", Yellow for "Active", Green for "Upcoming".
- Inventory Levels: Red if below reorder point, Yellow if within 10% of reorder point, Green otherwise.
- ROI & Conversion Rates: Color scale from red (low) to green (high), highlighting top-performing campaigns.
