Sheet Names

2. Marketing Plan Dashboard: Visual representation of campaign progress, goals, KPIs, and budget allocation.
3. Monthly Summary & Insights: Aggregated data from the Daily Tracker with analytical reports for financial health and campaign effectiveness.

Daily Tracker – Table Structure and Columns

The Daily Tracker sheet serves as the operational backbone of the template, where users input daily data. It consists of a dynamic table with the following columns:

Formulas Required

The Daily Tracker sheet leverages several powerful Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain data integrity:

• Campaign ROI (in Marketing Plan Dashboard): =IF([@Revenue Generated]>0, ([@Revenue Generated]-ABS([@Amount]))/ABS([@Amount]), 0)
• Daily Total Expenses: =SUMIF(D:D,"Marketing",E:E) (in Monthly Summary sheet)
• Remaining Budget per Campaign: Linked to a separate "Budgets" table using VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP with conditional logic.
• Income vs. Expenses Balance (Daily): =SUMIFS(E:E,D:D,"Personal Finance",C:C,"Income")-SUMIFS(E:E,D:D,"Personal Finance",C:C,"Expense")

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance readability and highlight key insights, the template includes the following conditional formatting rules:

• Red font for negative amounts in "Amount" column: Indicates expenses.
• Green background for positive amounts (income): Visually distinguishes earnings.
• Highlight campaigns with ROI > 200%: Uses formula-based formatting to color cells green in the dashboard.
• Bold text for entries exceeding monthly budget by 10%: Alerts users to potential overspending.
