Create a ROAS Dashboard From Advertising Campaign Data

Upload advertising performance data to compare campaign spend, attributed revenue, conversions, ROAS, cost per acquisition, and channel performance.

VizMint converts structured exports from paid media platforms into a clear performance report while showing which metrics depend on attribution, conversion, or customer data.

Supports structured .csv and .xlsx files. Public examples use synthetic data. Review VizMint’s current privacy and retention policy before uploading sensitive information.

What the live demo includes

  • Source rows with date, platform, campaign, spend, and attributed revenue
  • Auto-detected KPI cards for spend, revenue, ROAS, and conversions
  • Spend vs revenue trend charts by period
  • ROAS by campaign and platform comparison views
  • CPA, CTR, and conversion rate charts when fields exist
  • Switch between Spreadsheet and Dashboard tabs in the live preview
  • Open the full demo in a new tab for all generated charts

The sample contains 48 campaign records across 4 campaigns and 2 platforms. Charts and KPI cards are generated from the same JSON dataset.

Sample totals: $1,000,612 spend, $4,657,245 attributed revenue, and 4.65x reported ROAS — clearly separating attributed performance from profit.

Why This Workflow Is Useful

The Decision It Supports

Compare advertising spend and attributed revenue while keeping attribution and profit limitations visible.

Why the Result Can Be Trusted

Marketing metrics can look strong while hiding attribution gaps, different platform windows, or missing costs. The content must distinguish reported campaign performance from verified business profit.

Example Dataset

The campaign sample contains $1,000,612 in spend and $4,657,245 in attributed revenue, producing 4.65x reported ROAS while clearly separating ROAS from profit.

Why VizMint is different from a generic template

  • Begin with the structured file the user already has.
  • Explain required fields before upload and show detected mapping after upload.
  • Display formulas, reporting scope, exclusions, and missing-field behaviour beside the result.
  • Use one synthetic dataset across the live preview, expected results, KPI cards, and charts.
  • Connect headline metrics to the records or grouped table that explain them.
  • State plan, export, privacy, integration, and automation details only when they are available in the current product.

The workflow is designed around transparent attribution boundaries, comparison periods, and calculation evidence.

Compare Marketing Spend With Attributed Results

Advertising platforms provide impressions, clicks, spend, conversions, and conversion value, but campaign exports are difficult to compare across periods or channels. A ROAS dashboard brings the important metrics into one visual workflow.

The page must separate attributed revenue from profit and explain when CPA, CAC, or ROAS cannot be calculated.

This workflow helps answer questions such as:

  • Which campaigns generate the highest ROAS?
  • How does spend compare with attributed revenue?
  • What is the cost per conversion?
  • Which platforms or channels are most efficient?
  • Are clicks turning into conversions?
  • Does the available data support CAC or only CPA?
  • See How the Source File Becomes a VizMint Output

    Follow the same dataset from source rows to the generated dashboard preview. The spreadsheet table, KPI cards, and charts all come from one JSON sample, so every visible result can be checked against the source.

    How the calculations work

    ROAS

    Formula or Method
    Attributed revenue ÷ advertising spend
    Required Fields

    Important Rule
    ROAS does not include all business costs.

    CPA

    Formula or Method
    Advertising spend ÷ conversions
    Required Fields
    Spend and conversions
    Important Rule
    Do not calculate when conversions are zero.

    CAC

    Formula or Method
    Acquisition spend ÷ new customers
    Required Fields
    Spend and new customers
    Important Rule
    Leads or conversions are not automatically customers.

    CTR

    Formula or Method
    Clicks ÷ impressions × 100
    Required Fields
    Clicks and impressions
    Important Rule
    Unavailable when impressions are zero.

    Conversion Rate

    Formula or Method
    Conversions ÷ clicks × 100
    Required Fields
    Conversions and clicks
    Important Rule
    Definitions must match the source platform.

    What This Workflow Requires and Does Not Automatically Do

    • Attribution quality depends on source tracking.
    • Conversion value and recognized revenue may differ.
    • ROAS is not profit or total marketing ROI.
    • CAC requires new-customer data, not only conversions.
    • Platforms may use different attribution windows.
    • Cross-channel conversions may be duplicated.

    Common Data Problems and How to Fix Them

    Common data problems and how to fix them

    Spend and revenue use different currencies

    Recommended Fix
    Convert before comparison.

    Campaign names change

    Recommended Fix
    Use stable campaign IDs where possible.

    Conversion values are missing

    Recommended Fix
    Hide ROAS and show spend and conversion metrics only.

    Different attribution windows are mixed

    Recommended Fix
    Label the source and attribution definition.

    Leads are treated as customers

    Recommended Fix
    Use a separate new-customer field for CAC.

    Totals include test campaigns

    Recommended Fix
    Filter invalid or test activity.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Choose the Right Approach

    Excel alone is enough when

    • The dataset is small and the report is genuinely one-off.
    • One spreadsheet owner can safely maintain formulas, pivots, and ranges.
    • The audience does not need a repeatable upload-to-output workflow.

    A traditional BI tool is a better fit when

    • The organization needs governed models, live connectors, row-level security, and enterprise distribution.
    • A data team can maintain transformations and a semantic layer.

    VizMint is a strong fit when

    • The starting point is a structured CSV or Excel file.
    • The user needs a guided workflow without manually building every formula and chart.
    • Clear field requirements, transparent calculations, reproducible samples, and shareable outputs matter.

    VizMint analyzes exports; it does not replace the accounting, CRM, help-desk, HR, warehouse, advertising, or project-management system that produced them.
