Steps to create a KPI Dashboard in Excel are as follows.
- First, we need to create a Target table of each individual employee across 12 months.
In the above table for each individual, I have created a target for each month. For this, I have applied table format in excel and given the name as “Target_Table”. - Similarly, create one more table called Sales_Table, which shows actual sales achieved numbers.
- Similarly, create two more tables to arrive at the numbers of Salary and Incentive.
Above is the table of individual salary. So now, create a table for “Incentives”.
Ok, now we are done with all the data inputs requires to show in the dashboard. Now create one more sheet and name it as “Dash Board – KPI”.
- Create the heading “Individual KPI Dashboard- 2019” in Excel.
- Now create Employee Name and create a drop-down list in excel of employees.
- Now create a Month-wise table to show Target, Achieved, Variance, and Average Sale. And also to show Salary and Incentive Paid.
I have divided the data to be shown for the first 6 months and for later 6 months. So that is why I have added H1 total and H2 total rows.
H1 consists of the first 6 months total, and H2 consists of the second 6 months total. So, the total is a combination of H1 + H2. - For Target and Actual, apply VLOOKUP from the “Input Data” sheet and arrive at numbers based on the name selection from the drop-down list.
To Find Actual Sales data, select Sales_Table in place of Target_Table in VLOOKUP Formula.
To find variance Subtract actual sales data from target sales data.
To get an average of sales data applies the below formula.
Similarly, do the same for Salary and Incentive Columns.
Then Find the Total Earned by adding both salary paid and incentive paid.
Now, based on the selection we make from the drop-down list of the name, VLOOKUP fetches the data of Target, Achieved, Salary, and Incentive data from the respective table which we have earlier in the article. - Now, we need to create a cell for Efficiency Level. To arrive at the efficiency level, we need to divide the achieved amount by the target amount.
- Now arrive Return on Investment result. For this divide Achieved Amount by Total Earned Amount.
- Now arrive graphical representation for the data we have arrives. Below is the graph I have applied; based on your liking, you can create a chart.
