Track 13 digital advertising KPIs against monthly targets in one editable Power BI scorecard. The Digital Advertising KPI Dashboard in Power BI combines MTD and YTD achievement, status lights, prior-year movement, 12-month trends, ownership, priority, and lower-is-better or upper-is-better logic.

Buy once for $12.99 during the sale; there is no recurring dashboard subscription.

What’s Inside the Digital Advertising KPI Dashboard in Power BI
KPI Scorecard Page
The KPI Scorecard gives leaders a full portfolio view. Five summary cards show the total KPI count, targets met, KPIs at risk, missed targets, and overall MTD achievement. The detailed table then lists every KPI with its group, unit, 12-month sparkline, MTD actual and target, achievement percentage, status light, year-over-year arrow, YTD actual, YTD achievement, and YTD status.
KPI Scorecard page
KPI Trend Page
Select one KPI to review its group, unit, direction, owner, priority, MTD actual, target, achievement, status, and year-over-year movement. Two monthly charts compare current-year actuals with prior year and target for both MTD and cumulative YTD views.
KPI Trend page
KPI Definition Page
The KPI Definition page puts the calculation context beside the performance result. It displays the selected KPI’s formula, definition, owner, group, unit, direction, priority, monthly detail table, actual-versus-target trend, and achievement percentage by month. This is a normal report page controlled by a KPI selector, not a drillthrough page.

Who This Template Is For – and Who It’s Not For
Use it for paid-media managers, performance marketers, agency account leads, marketing operations teams, and analysts who already consolidate advertising data and need a target-led review layer. It is especially useful for monthly business reviews, client reporting, campaign governance, and executive scorecards.
It is not a connector for Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, or any other network. It does not pull live campaign data, create ads, optimize bids, verify brand safety, detect invalid traffic, or guarantee marketing performance. Power BI Desktop knowledge is helpful when changing the model.

- Unzip the download and open the PBIX in Power BI Desktop.
- Open Data.xlsx and replace the sample actuals, targets, prior-year values, and KPI definitions while preserving the existing column structure.
- Save the workbook and refresh the Power BI report.
- Use Month, KPI Group, Owner, Priority, and Direction filters to focus the scorecard.
- Select a KPI on the Trend and Definition pages to review its monthly pattern and calculation context.

Real-World Use Cases
Agency Account Lead
Combine approved monthly client figures into one scorecard and use status lights to structure the review around missed and at-risk KPIs.
Performance Marketing Manager
Compare CPC, CPM, CPA, conversion rate, ROAS, impression share, and spend against monthly targets without mixing higher-is-better and lower-is-better logic.
Marketing Operations Analyst
Maintain KPI ownership and definitions, then use the Trend page to separate one-month movement from cumulative YTD performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it connect directly to advertising platforms?
No. The template uses the included Data.xlsx source and refreshes from data you supply.
How many KPIs are included?
The sample model contains 13 digital advertising KPIs across performance, cost efficiency, delivery, media quality, investment, creative operations, and brand safety.
Can I replace the KPIs?
Yes, but changes must preserve or deliberately update the model structure and measures. Test every calculation after editing.
What software do I need?
You need Microsoft Power BI Desktop to open and edit the PBIX. Editing Data.xlsx also requires compatible spreadsheet software.
Is Power BI Service included?
No. Publishing, online sharing, refresh gateways, and Microsoft licensing are managed separately by you.
Is this the same as an analytical advertising dashboard?
No. This is the KPI scorecard family: it focuses on targets, status, direction, trend, and definitions. Analytical campaign dashboards explore channels, campaigns, regions, and other detailed drivers.
