The Flooring Installation KPI Dashboard in Excel is a month-picker KPI scorecard for flooring contractors: 15 KPIs across 7 groups, each with MTD and YTD actual, target, achievement percentage, traffic-light status, prior-year value and a year-on-year arrow, all driven by one dropdown. It is 100% worksheet formulas – VLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX and COUNTIF – with no Power Query, no data model, no macros and no add-ins. Eleven sheets, sample data for a full twelve months already filled in, wired for up to 22 KPIs so you can add seven more without writing a formula. Opens in Excel 2013 and later and in Excel for the web. One-time payment, lifetime access to the file, nothing locked and nothing hidden.
Read this before you buy: this is the KPI scorecard line – a month picker, traffic lights, a KPI Trend page and a KPI Analysis page. It is not an analytical slicer-and-pivot dashboard, and it is not the shorter ten-KPI scorecard. If you want the analytical version of this subject, see the Flooring and Tiles Dashboard in Excel. If you want the lighter scorecard, see the Flooring Installation KPI Scorecard in Excel. The same 15-KPI scorecard is also available as a Flooring Installation KPI Dashboard in Power BI.
Key Features of the Flooring Installation KPI Dashboard in Excel
- One month dropdown drives everything. Cell D6 on KPI Dashboard lists the twelve months of the reporting year. The scorecard and the KPI Analysis page both follow it – no refresh, no query, no macro.
- Direction-aware scoring. Every KPI is flagged UTB (upper the better) or LTB (lower the better). Achievement is Actual / Target for UTB and Target / Actual for LTB, so beating a cost or cycle-time target scores above 100% instead of reading as a miss. Five of the fifteen KPIs here are LTB.
- Traffic lights with editable thresholds. On Target from 100%, At Risk 95% to 99%, Missed below 95%. The thresholds are plain formulas in columns L and U on KPI Dashboard – change them to match your own governance.
- Seven summary cards. Total KPIs Tracked, On Target (YTD), At Risk (YTD), Missed (YTD), Improving vs PY (MTD), Avg Achievement (MTD) and Avg Achievement (YTD). The sample month reads 15 / 8 / 4 / 3 / 11 of 15 / 100.4% / 99.2%.
- Arrows that know the KPI’s direction. The arrow shows whether the actual sits above or below its comparator; the colour shows whether that direction is good, which is why a falling callback rate shows a green down-arrow.
- Add or rename a KPI without touching a formula. Type it on KPI Definition and it flows through the three input sheets, the scorecard, the trend page and the analysis page automatically.
- Re-base the year in one cell. Cell E3 on KPI Input – Actual is the first month of the reporting year. Change it and the Target sheet, the Prior Year sheet, the month dropdown and every sheet title move with it.
What’s Inside the Flooring Installation KPI Dashboard in Excel
Eleven sheets, ten of them shown in the gallery above.
- Home – a navigation page with buttons to every sheet and a plain-English summary of what the workbook does.
- KPI Dashboard – the scorecard. Month dropdown, the seven summary cards, and one row per KPI carrying MTD and YTD actual, target, achievement, status, prior year and vs PY.
- KPI Trend – one KPI at a time. Pick it in cell B4 and the attribute strip (group, unit, type, owner, priority, frequency), the formula and definition text, a twelve-month table and two combo charts all redraw. The charts are Actual and Prior Year columns with a Target line – one for MTD, one for YTD.
- KPI Analysis – achievement rolled up by KPI group with counts of On Target / At Risk / Missed, an Average YTD Achievement by KPI Group bar chart, and the top five and bottom five KPIs for the year to date.
- KPI Input – Actual / Target / PY – the three sheets you type in. Each holds an MTD and a YTD column for every month, so you keep control of how your own YTD is defined.
- KPI Definition – the master list: number, group, name, unit, formula, definition, type, owner, priority and frequency for all 15 KPIs. Every other sheet follows it.
- Support – helper calculations behind the dropdowns, arrow glyphs, chart series and ranking. Nothing here needs editing.
- Read Me and Get More Templates – a five-minute setup guide plus the rules the numbers follow, and links to the rest of the catalogue.
The 15 KPIs, by group. Volume & Productivity: Square Feet Installed, Installed Sq Ft per Crew-Day. Financial: Job Gross Margin %, Average Job Value, Receivables Days Sales Outstanding. Installation Quality: First-Time-Right Installation Rate, Callback & Warranty Claim Rate. Materials: Material Waste & Offcut Rate, Damaged Material on Delivery Rate. Scheduling: On-Time Installation Completion %, Measure-to-Install Cycle Time. Compliance & Safety: Installer Certification Coverage %, Subfloor Moisture Test Compliance %. Sales & Customer: Estimate-to-Close Win Rate, Customer Satisfaction Score (NPS).
Each one ships with a written formula and definition – for example, Measure-to-Install Cycle Time is “Sum of (Installation Start Date – Site Measure Date) / Jobs Started”, defined as calendar days from the on-site laser measure to the first day of installation on that job.

Who This Template Is For – and Who It’s Not For
It is for flooring installation contractors, floor-covering subcontractors, retail flooring showrooms with their own fitting crews, and commercial flooring firms running carpet, vinyl, LVT, laminate, timber and tile work. It suits an operations director or owner who already knows their monthly numbers and wants one page that scores them – and it suits anyone reporting to a builder or main contractor who asks for the same figures every month.
It is not for you if you want the workbook to calculate KPIs from job records: it does not. You type MTD and YTD for each KPI on three input sheets, and the workbook scores, ranks and charts them. It is also not a scheduling or estimating system, it does not hold customer or job-level data, and it does not connect to an accounting package. If you need an analytical dashboard with slicers over transaction rows, buy the analytical line instead.
How to Use the Flooring Installation KPI Dashboard in Excel
- Open the file. Unzip the download and open the .xlsx in Excel. There is nothing to enable and nothing to refresh.
- Set the reporting year. Put the first month of your year in cell E3 on KPI Input – Actual. Every other sheet re-bases from it.
- Review KPI Definition. Rename any of the 15 KPIs, set its unit, mark it UTB or LTB, and name an owner, priority and frequency. Add up to seven more on the empty rows.
- Type your numbers. Fill MTD and YTD on KPI Input – Actual, KPI Input – Target and KPI Input – PY. The KPI rows on all three sheets are driven by KPI Definition, so they always line up.
- Pick a month. Use the dropdown on KPI Dashboard. The scorecard and KPI Analysis follow it instantly.
- Investigate one KPI. Pick it on KPI Trend to see its twelve-month table and both charts against target and prior year.
- Adjust thresholds if you need to. Edit the On Target / At Risk / Missed cut-offs in columns L and U on KPI Dashboard.
Real-World Use Cases
Marcus, operations director at a 40-crew commercial flooring firm. He runs a monthly review off one screen: Installed Sq Ft per Crew-Day and On-Time Installation Completion % for productivity, First-Time-Right and Callback & Warranty Claim Rate for quality. When On-Time Completion came in at 91.5% against a 94.87% target, the Bottom 5 table on KPI Analysis put it at the top of the list before anyone opened a job file.
Priya, owner of a residential flooring and tiling business. She tracks Average Job Value, Job Gross Margin % and Estimate-to-Close Win Rate, and marks Receivables Days Sales Outstanding as LTB so a falling DSO scores above 100%. She renamed two KPIs on KPI Definition on the first evening; nothing else needed editing.
Dan, quality manager at a flooring subcontractor. He owns Subfloor Moisture Test Compliance % and Installer Certification Coverage %, both of which the main contractor audits. He prints KPI Trend for whichever one is being questioned and hands over the twelve-month table and the target line.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this calculate my KPIs from job data?
No. This is a scorecard, not a calculation engine. You enter MTD and YTD figures for each KPI on the three input sheets and the workbook handles achievement, direction, status, ranking, trend and the group roll-up. Each KPI ships with a written formula on KPI Definition so you know what to compute before you type it.
Is the YTD figure derived from my monthly numbers?
No – YTD is typed alongside MTD on every input sheet. That is deliberate: volumes accumulate through the year while rates, ratios and per-unit costs are running averages, so the workbook leaves the definition of YTD to you rather than summing a percentage into nonsense.
Can I add more than 15 KPIs?
Yes. The sheets are wired for 22, so seven rows are live and empty – fill the next row on KPI Definition, then type its monthly numbers. To go beyond 22, fill down the last data row on each sheet and widen the ranges in the summary cards on KPI Dashboard row 4 and in the helper columns on Support.
Do I need Power Query, Power Pivot or macros?
None of them. Every number is a plain worksheet formula. There is no data model, no add-in and no macro, so the file opens on a locked-down work laptop and in Excel for the web.
How is this different from the Flooring Installation KPI Scorecard in Excel?
Different product line. The KPI Scorecard is the lighter build. This one is the KPI Dashboard line: 15 KPIs in 7 groups, a dedicated KPI Trend page with two combo charts per KPI, and a KPI Analysis page with a group roll-up plus top and bottom five. Buy this one if you want the trend and analysis pages.
Is the sample data real?
No. The twelve months of September-2025-dated figures are demonstration data so you can see every formula, chart and traffic light working before you type a thing. Clear the three input sheets and the whole workbook follows your numbers.
Can I put my own logo and colours on it?
Yes. Nothing is locked, hidden or password-protected. Every sheet, formula, chart and shape is editable.
