Customer acquisition costs

Hi 

I separated my sales & marketing team salaries from the rest of the sales and marketing costs. This is useful for headcount expansion assumptions.  However, I would like to include the salaries in my CAC calculations.  However, the CAC calculation doesnt allow me to include it (or at least there is a warning of corruption).  I tried to add a new category which didnt work. Is there a way to modify the CAC calculation inputs without corrupting the spreadsheet?

 

Thanks

Hi Cornell.  You should be able to:

  1. expand the linkedin expenses at the top,
  2. right-click to add a new link in,
  3. select the Income Statement Salaries & Wages (make a negative -link(2); and
  4. then drag and drop this in via the precedent links pane.

HI James

 

I was able to do steps 1-3 but not sure on the last step.  I couldn't drag and drop "via the precedents links pane"? 

Moreover, I only want to carve out the salaries and wages line for marketing not the entire salaries and wages.  

Thanks for the help, most appreciated

 

Kind regards

For the first issue, have a look through the main help: https://www.modano.com/resources/user_guide/automation/using_modules/lin...

For the second point, the aim here is to bring in all lines, and then enter a percentage against those that apply. Notwithstanding, the precedent take pane will allow you to select individual categories, if you only want to include a few select lines.
