Table Structures and Columns
Sheet: KPI Details (Data Source)
This table serves as the primary data source for all other sheets. It contains one row per KPI with the following columns: | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------| | KPI ID | Text/Number | Unique identifier (e.g., KPI-001) | | KPI Name | Text | Name of the key performance indicator (e.g., "Customer Satisfaction Rate") | | Department/Team | Text | Responsible team or department | | Owner (Name) | Text | Individual responsible for tracking and reporting the KPI | | Baseline Value (Month 1) | Number (Decimal) | Starting value of KPI at the beginning of monitoring period | | Target Value (Monthly) | Number (Decimal) | Goal value for each month | | Measurement Unit | Text (e.g., %, Units, Days, Hours) | Specifies how the KPI is measured | | Start Date | Date | First day of data collection for this KPI | | End Date | Date | Final date by which the monthly target should be achieved | | Monthly Target Dates (1–12) | Dates (Array) | Each column represents a month’s target achievement date, formatted as a date |Sheet: Monthly Timeline (Gantt Chart)
This is the main Gantt chart visualization. It uses a matrix layout where: - Rows represent individual KPIs. - Columns represent calendar months (e.g., January – December). - Cells are colored based on progress and timeline status. Each row includes:- Leftmost column: KPI Name (linked to the KPI Details sheet).
- Subsequent columns (12 total): One for each month. Each cell contains a horizontal bar segment representing progress in that month.
Formulas Required
The following formulas ensure dynamic updates and accurate visual feedback:- Progress Calculation (in KPI Details):
=IF(ActualValue > Target, 100%, IF(ActualValue = "", 0%, (ActualValue / Target) * 100%)) - Gantt Bar Length (in Monthly Timeline):
=MIN((End_Date - Start_Date + 1), (Today() - Start_Date + 1)) / (End_Date - Start_Date + 1)– This calculates the percentage of time elapsed. - Status Indicator:
=IF(Progress >= Target_Percentage, "On Track", IF(Today() > End_Date, "Delayed", "In Progress")) - Conditional Formatting Trigger (for Gantt bars): Uses formulas like
=AND(MonthlyStart <= TODAY(), MonthlyEnd >= TODAY())to highlight current month.
Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and insight, apply the following conditional formatting:- Progress Bars in Gantt Chart: Use "Data Bars" (solid fill) with color gradients: green (0–75%), yellow (76–99%), red (>100% or overdue).
- Status Highlighting: Conditional formatting to highlight rows:
- In red if the status is "Delayed".
- In green if "On Track".
- In yellow if "In Progress" and the current date falls within the timeline.
- Current Month Highlight: Apply background color (e.g., light blue) to the column corresponding to the current month using a formula-based rule.
User Instructions
1. Open the template and go to KPI Details. Enter your KPIs with baseline, target, start date, and end date. 2. Populate actual values for each month in the "Monthly Target Dates" section. 3. The Monthly Timeline (Gantt Chart) sheet will auto-update based on these inputs. 4. Use the Dashboard & Analytics sheet to view charts: bar charts for monthly KPI comparison, line graphs for trend tracking, and pie charts showing status distribution (On Track / In Progress / Delayed). 5. Update monthly data regularly—every end-of-month is recommended. 6. Share the dashboard with stakeholders via email or embedded in reports.Example Rows
