Profit Calculator (Dashboard) Sheet: The Tracking View Hub

This is the central dashboard of the template, designed for instant insights into profitability across all marketing campaigns.

Table Structure:

Campaign ID	Channel	Budget Allocated ($)	Total Spend ($)	Total Revenue ($)	Profit (Revenue - Spend) ($)	ROI (%)

Key Formulas:

Profit = Total Revenue Generated - Total Spend
ROI (%) = (Profit / Total Spend) * 100

Example: If total spend is $4,132.77 and revenue is $18,635.45:
- Profit = 18,635.45 - 4,132.77 = $14,502.68
- ROI (%) = (14,502.68 / 4,132.77) * 100 ≈ 350.9%

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and risk awareness:

Profit (Positive vs Negative): Green background for profits > $0, Red for losses.
ROI: > 100% → Blue text; 50%–99% → Yellow; < 50% → Orange.
Budget vs Spend: If spend exceeds budget by >10%, highlight entire row in red.
Status Flags: “Over Budget” in red font, “On Track” in green, “Delayed” in amber.
