All dates should be listed under the **DATE** label. | | Row 5 | ACTUAL | The daily spend to date for that ad set on the corresponding date in column A | | Row 5 | PLANNED | The planned daily spend for that ad set on the corresponding date in column A | | Row 5 | NEW TARGET | The target spend you can **edit** for that ad set on the corresponding date in column A | > **NOTE:** In the Vitals section, minor variances between the *$ remaining* and *$ scheduled* values can be expected based on the data freshness. It is best practice to not override the last day of your ad set to ensure full delivery of your lifetime budget. ## **How to Edit the Offline Excel File** ### **Option 1: Pacing Spreadsheet Template** - Open the downloaded Excel file and make sure editing is enabled. - Make changes to the **NEW TARGET** column for each Ad Set. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/9a180fa0-df3b-4942-a5f6-b3905cf917d9/Images/Documentation/Bulk Pacing Spreadsheet Marked.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-08T07%3A25%3A32Z&se=2026-11-08T08%3A25%3A32Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=t890%2FIQSqHgGIG5C4rR52oKFqlGLhh1vwvXkXenaPNA%3D) Things to note when editing the file: - Weekend dates are highlighted in blue - Today’s date is in bold (or the date the spreadsheet was downloaded) - Future dates are grayed out and will not have a spend value in the ACTUAL column After updating, save the Excel file, return to the Quantcast Platform, and Upload. ### **Option 2: Flexible Pacing Spreadsheet** 1.
