Frequently Asked Questions
What pages does the dashboard have?
Three pages: Summary, KPI Trend and KPI Definition. The KPI Definition page is a hidden drill-through page.
Where do I enter my numbers?
Enter actual values in the Input_Actual sheet and targets in the Input_Target sheet of the Excel data file. Keep the KPI names, units, formulas and definitions in the KPI Definition sheet, then refresh the Power BI file.
Does it show month-to-date and year-to-date results?
Yes. The Summary page shows MTD and YTD figures side by side, with Target vs Actual and Current Year vs Previous Year percentages. You pick the month and KPI group with slicers.
How do the green and red indicators work?
Each KPI is set as Lower the Better or Upper the Better. The icons change color and direction based on that type, so a falling return rate shows as good and a falling net sales figure shows as bad.
Is there an Excel version of this dashboard?
Yes. See the Sporting Goods KPI Dashboard in Excel.
