What’s Inside the Lead Nurturing KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets
Dashboard sheet tab
This is the main sheet tab. On range D3, select a month from the drop-down and the dashboard numbers update for that period. The sheet shows MTD Actual, Target, and Previous Year data, plus Target vs Actual and PY vs Actual comparisons with conditional formatting up and down arrows. The same structure is repeated for YTD performance, so teams can see short-term progress and full-year movement together.

KPI Trend sheet tab
The KPI Trend sheet lets you select a KPI name from the drop-down in range C3. It displays the KPI group, unit, KPI type, formula, and definition, then shows MTD and YTD trend charts for Actual, Target, and Previous Year values. This helps diagnose whether a weak month is an isolated dip or part of a larger trend.
KPI Trend Sheet
Actual Numbers Input sheet
Enter actual MTD and YTD lead nurturing numbers for each KPI in this sheet. You can change the first month of the year from range E1, making the template adaptable to calendar-year or fiscal-year reporting.
Actual Numbers Input sheet
Target Number Input sheet
This sheet stores the target values for each KPI by month, for both MTD and YTD reporting. It gives the dashboard a clean benchmark for monthly marketing reviews, campaign retrospectives, and sales pipeline meetings.
Target Number Input sheet
Previous Year Number sheet tab
Enter previous-year values in the same layout as the current-year actual sheet. This lets the dashboard compare lead nurturing progress against the same period last year instead of judging every number in isolation.
Previous Year Number Input sheet
KPI Definition sheet tab
Use the KPI Definition sheet to maintain KPI Name, KPI Group, Unit, Formula, Definition, and KPI Type. In the last column, enter LTB for Lower the Better or UTB for Upper the Better, so the dashboard can interpret performance direction correctly.
