Managing personal investments without a clear performance view often leads to confusion, emotional decisions, and missed opportunities. When investments are spread across stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, and fixed deposits, tracking performance manually becomes overwhelming. Many investors rely on scattered spreadsheets, apps, or bank statements that fail to provide a consolidated picture. The Personal Investment KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets solves this problem by offering a structured, visual, and goal-oriented investment tracking system.
This ready-to-use dashboard converts raw investment numbers into meaningful KPIs, comparisons, and trends. Instead of guessing how your portfolio performs, you get instant clarity on returns, targets, growth patterns, and year-over-year progress. Because the dashboard works entirely in Google Sheets, it is flexible, cloud-based, and accessible anytime—without paid software or technical complexity.
