Targets & Benchmarks Sheet

| Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) | Scaled 1–10 | 8.5 | 8.7 | 7.9 |
Formulas Required
The template leverages advanced Excel formulas to maintain automation and accuracy:- Status Calculation (KPI Data Log, Status column):
=IF(Metric Value >= Target Value, "On Track", IF(Metric Value >= 0.8*Target Value, "At Risk", "Behind"))
This dynamically evaluates performance against target. - Auto-populate Target (KPI Data Log):
=VLOOKUP(KPI Name, Targets & Benchmarks!$A$2:$E$100, 3, FALSE)
Pulls target values from the reference sheet. - Monthly Average (Monthly Summary Sheet):
=AVERAGEIFS('KPI Data Log'!$D:$D,'KPI Data Log'!$A:$A,">="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,1),'KPI Data Log'!$A:$A,"<"&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1))
Calculates average performance for the previous month. - Year-to-Date (YTD) Growth Rate:
=IFERROR((Current Month Value - Prior Year Same Month Value)/Prior Year Same Month Value, "N/A")
Useful for trend analysis.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual interpretation and quickly identify performance issues:- Status Column:
- "On Track" → Green background
- "At Risk" → Yellow background
- "Behind" → Red background - Metric Value vs Target:
Highlight cells where Metric Value is below 90% of Target using a data bar or color scale. - Dashboard Summary Metrics:
Use traffic light indicators (red/yellow/green) for each KPI’s current performance status.
