Sales Dashboards - 32 Examples, Vote for your option now [Visualization Challenge #2]Sales reports and dashboards are very common in any company. There are several ways in which you can visualize sales data to understand the trends and sales performance. So in November, I have asked you to visualize sales data using sample data. The visualization challenge #2, sponsored by Zoho Reports generated a huge buzz around the community and fetched 32 incredible entries. The response was so overwhelming that it took me almost 24 hours to write this post.

Thanks everyone for participating and making this a huge learning experience for everyone. Personally I have learned several useful dashboard and charting tricks. I will be sharing some of these lessons with all of you in the coming weeks.

How read this post?
This post is HUGE, I mean 2600 words huge. So you may want to maximize your browser window and fill up your coffee mug. Each of the 32 entries start with a title including authors name and tools used. Each entry includes a small image of the dashboard along with a link to see bigger version. All dashboards have links to original source files for you to download and play with.

Please note that these files are copyrighted to original authors and you cannot use them for commercial purposes.

I have included 3 comments against each entry based on my understanding of dashboard. Please share your opinions and reviews using the comments section of this post.

Weighted Average in Excel with Percentage Weights

Weighted Average in Excel [Formulas]

Learn how to calculate weighted averages in excel using formulas. In this article we will learn what a weighted average is and how to Excel’s SUMPRODUCT formula to calculate weighted average / weighted mean.

What is weighted average?

Wikipedia defines weighted average as, “The weighted mean is similar to an arithmetic mean …, where instead of each of the data points contributing equally to the final average, some data points contribute more than others.”

Calculating weighted averages in excel is not straight forward as there is no built-in formula. But we can use SUMPRODUCT formula to easily calculate them. Read on to find out how.

    Good to see the variety of styles of sales reporting. Too bad I missed this contest, will there be another?

    • KYLE CLARK says:

      Hi Chandoo.

      Hope you well.

      I've been using your sight for information for a while now.

      I was wondering if you can assist me with a Sales Dashboard?
      I know have all the data and I know exactly what Metrics i want to display and how.

      Even if I have to pay you? what are the options?
      I want to create a top shelf dashboard!

      Examples of what i want to display.

      SALES value (Jan - Feb) - ACTUALS vs BUDGET vs PRIOR YEAR
      SALES GROWTH %
      PRICE,VOLUME,EXCHANGE

      Please advise if you can assist?

      Regards
      Kyle

  2. Jon Peltier says:

    Lots of variety.

    Many of these examples show only one chart, which hardly constitutes a dashboard. Many of the charts are bar charts, where line charts (i.e., time series) might have been more appropriate or more readable. Some of the color schemes are distracting.

    Yet there were a few good examples: Alex, Ajay, Cuboo, Tessaes.

  3. Chris Grant says:

    Wow, this is great. And --- source files too! Thank you for organizing this.

  4. Karimmo says:

    Jon,
    The aim was not to build exclusively dashboards but: "all you have to do is a make one chart (dashboards are ok too) to visualize this sales data effectively".

    Chandoo,
    I didn't realize you will post every intermediate step of my chart 🙂 Option 16 (final version of my chart) misses the source file: http://bit.ly/8HwVSm

  5. Doozerboy says:

    Some very good dashboards here.

    Particularly like the funky rotate on Matt Cloves' example, and Ajay's example looks pretty pro too.

  6. m-b says:

    Isn't it better to consider entries 12-16 as one entry? The same goes for 19-20.

    I think Cuboo is my favourite at the moment but I need to examine them more closely 🙂

  7. ericlind says:

    I'm partial to chart 5. I get enough information from the visuals to give me a suitable overview, and then I'm given clear consciece analysis on specific metrics.

  8. Jon Peltier says:

    Karimmo -

    Sorry, the post was entitled "Sales Dashboards", so I made the natural assumption.

  9. TonyP17 says:

    Some amazing dashboards and clever methods of making the data dynamic.

    In many of the examples the methods used only become clear once hidden working sheets are displayed.

  10. chrisham says:

    Chandoo, thanks for putting this together, looking at the content here I am glad that I did not submit mine..... lol. But there's a lot to be learning here in the coming days and may be the next time around I'll be ready for it! Thanks so much for the source files... and of course to the contributors!

  11. Chandoo says:

    @Andy.. thanks, Yes, there will be more contests. I will announce one when we reach the 10k subscriber base. I am also open for new contest ideas and sponsors.

    @Jon: I named all the entries as dashboards out of convenience. Agreed that some of them are just charts (or pivot charts).

    @Chris: You are welcome.

    @Karimmo: I have considered each of your submissions as separate entries (my bad). I can add up the votes, but it might give you unfair advantage 😉

    @Doozerboy: Even I liked Matt's rotate option. Watch out for a tutorial on that very soon 🙂

    @m-b: Good point, I have considered them as separate entries as it wasnt clear if the authors made multiple or single entries. Sorry for the confusion.

    Also, agree with you on Cuboo's entry. As always very well done.

    @ericlind, Tony: Thanks

    @Chrisham: You should have tried. Next time, you must submit one.

  12. Oliver Montero says:

    Excellent work from almost all the contestants. Loved many and I'm eager to try some of the designs and to participate in the next contest. I specially liked options 26, 22, 03, 05 and 11. Very professional, clean and bug free. Too bad one can't vote for more than one 🙁

    Thanks to Chandoo for doing this contest and to all participants. Looking forward for more iterations.

    Great stuff!!!!

  13. Alex Kerin says:

    Excellent work putting all of this together Chandoo, - hours of work I would guess. Some really good examples here. Thank you.

    One thing to think about when voting is that the original remit was to design a visualization for a "senior manager [to] understand how the sales people have done in the 24 months". I'm certainly not saying this because I feel that my example is any better then others, more that so often in our field the resulting visualization does not fulfill the original objective.

    Breaking this down - a 'senior' manager does not have time, or want to dive into data exploration. He or she wants quick, easy to see, immediate answers on the most important questions with more data to help explain trends and allow decisions to be made.

    Equally, the visualization should primarily display "how the sales people have done", so the chart(s) should be all be sales person centric. Questions like: "who performed best, against their expected performance, who sold what, who sold it where, what size companies did they sell to?" are likely wanted and useful. Finally, "24 months" implies the requirement for time trending information.

    Again, please don't read this as any push for votes, simply that these excellent examples are assessed by their ability to meet the objective.

  14. TonyP17 says:

    I have downloaded the zip file link to Alex Kerin's dashboard (Option 04) but do not know how to look at the numerous files contained within.

    Perhaps someone can explain please.

  15. Alex Kerin says:

    @Tony. The first link is the Excel file. The second is a link to the free (excellent) sparkline add-in I used. You don't need to load it, but you may get some #NAME errors, and some cells won't update if you change the data.

    If you do want to load it, select the correct version from the linked page (there are basically two - 2003 and before, and 2007). Load these up by opening them in Excel, allowing any macros if prompted, then open Link 1.

    Hence the problem with third-party add-ins - Office 2010 has its own sparklines, but this add-in is still much better...

  16. Jon Peltier says:

    Alex -

    Depending on how "senior" this executive is, I don't think you used enough pie charts.

    Seriously, I agree with your comment. A dashboard is nice if it's interactive, but it's useless if it doesn't show a broad overview of information in a single view.

  17. TonyP17 says:

    Alex
    The first link gives me a zip file to download. I do not see an Excel file to open other than several .xml files. Can you give me any further guidance please.

    Clearly there is plenty here I am not familiar with.

  18. Chandoo says:

    @Oliver: I am happy you liked it.

    @Alex: Very good points. I have realized this as soon as I saw the second entry in my inbox. There is no way I can compare one dashboard with another. Even though the stated objective is "help a senior manager understand how sales people have done in the last 24 months" several people interpreted this in several ways and some went all the way to show trends and messages based on product, region or customer as well.

    Since my unstated objective is "help Chandoo learn new and awesome-kickass-cool dashboard and charting tricks" I kept quiet.

    I have tried to do some justice by adding comments next to each dashboard to help the voters. But I already know that each of these entries is a winner. Just the fact that these people could do something with the data and make a dashboard showing how they understand it is a HUGE achievement. Not many people (not even 1% of the population) can articulate ideas like these. Kudos...

    @Jon... We need a Pie chart add-in, we need it now. Go release !!! 🙂

  19. cuboo says:

    @chandoo: Many thanks for the working-hours writing this post. It's brilliant! So many good visualization ideas ... lot's of things to learn from!

    @alex: I agree with you totally - a dashboard for senior executive has to be as simple as possible and focussed on the performance of salespersons. We should never forget: It's all about decision-supporting!
    Me neither met a manager who did OLAP-Analysises; they rarely use their computer - here in Germany! They wanted their infos on paper and very often the dashboard - is it a dashboard or a report? - needs to be printed out. That's the reason, why I didn't use colours extensively. This makes my dashboard looking grey and not very "sparkling", even though I used the excellent open-source sparklines-addin from Fabrice as you did 🙂

  20. Alex Kerin says:

    @Tony: sorry, the link goes to an xlsm file, which is an Office 2007 file with macros - if you have this it will be automatically recognized. This URL: http://bit.ly/6owMD5 will take to an Excel 2003 file (xls). There will be some loss of fidelity, but you should get the idea.

    @Jon, Chandoo. My example actually contains 5 pie charts, see if you can spot them - couldn't resist doing that 😉

  21. Jon Peltier says:

    Cuboo -

    A good dashboard report (see, it's both a dashboard AND a report) is not defined by a fancy color scheme. It is defined by the information it conveys, its clarity, its comprehensiveness, its succinctness. It's best to use color sparingly, so when it appears, it really means something.

    We don't pay managers to use their computers (even in the US), we pay them to make wise decisions. One good decision they make is who they rely upon for their information, that is, who runs their OLAPs for them.

  22. TonyP17 says:

    @Alex. Thanks for the link to the Excel 2003 file which I have downloaded successfully. I have also downloaded the Sparklines add-in and will take a lokk when I have some time.
    I am still baffled, however, when you say that Link 1 above takes me to an xlsm Excel 2007. It downloads a zip file (data-visualization-challenge-alexkerin.zip) with many .xml and .rels files.

  23. cuboo says:

    @Jon: Good to read, that things are similar in the US - I do not live "behind the mountains" 🙂
    @Alex: I didn't see you last attempt, but I do not condemn pie charts totally. I like them as small multiples in a table, to visualize the distribution in rows or columns. For example here at the lower end: http://bit.ly/6ZiFJ0 ... or here: http://bit.ly/7JVtmj where I used them as a "traffic-light plus".

  24. Alex Kerin says:

    @Tony: your browser/operating system/virus software is preventing you downloading a macro laden file just in case it has viruses - instead it's packaging it as a a zip and screwing it up (I would guess)

    @cuboo: my pie charts are actually only the red bullets on the top table with some if statements - don't know why I used them instead of anything else - because I could?

    @Jon: Couldn't resist - here's your 'senior' dashboard - spot the egregious visualization mistakes: http://bit.ly/84lET6

  25. TonyP17 says:

    @Alex: something is clearly getting in the way. I have tried another PC at home with the same result.
    Unless you or someone else can help further I will have to speak to my IT manager. I have never had a problem downloading files before.
    Would you perhaps be able to create a valid zip file for me to download?

  26. cuboo says:

    @alex: gorgeous dashboard ... if you don't mind I will start all my presentations with this. I'm quite sure: parts of my audience will love the gauges and 3D-Charts.

  27. Faseeh says:

    @Mr. Chindoo....I am amazed how do U manage these things 🙂 ? It takes me an hour to compose an email...some times..

    Hey Chandoo, you played Santa a bit late, thanks for this very wonderful New Year`s Gift

  31. Aires says:

    Woohoo! I've just come back from my vacation trip (I was afraid of losing senses due to computer abstinence 🙂 ), and am able to see such a delightful set of templates. Thanks everyone, and particularly Chandoo for putting it all together.

    I am not going to vote on anyone, because I am also part of the competition (in fact, it's because it's too hard to choose a better dashboard, but justifying by the moral argument sounds better. :o) ). What I would really appreciate, however, is feedback about what I should do to make my charts better (I am particularly curious to understand why Jon left me out his favourite list 🙂 ). As I told Chandoo before, I am really looking after learning about how can I do better dashboards. So, please, help me by criticizing my dashboard. 🙂

    All the best, and a great 2010 to all of us!

    Delete the ".zip" extension and things should work out properly or visit

    wanted to look at #13, but the file is protected and has a password - so i can play with the dashboard but not see how it is made, which sort of defeats the purpose... any suggestions? 🙂

    I need someone to do a sahboard for me if i supply the data. It is a sales dash board - How much could I expect to pay

    • Chandoo says:

      @Fred... Depends on your dashboard. Based on my experience, a typical dashboard takes 6-8 hours of construction time, if the data and outputs are clearly specified. Now, the rates depend on the consultant. I charge $75 per hour, so you can expect to pay roughly $500 if you hire me. Let me know if you are interested.

    In Option 24, how are the four main kpi circles made? That is, those pictures can be moved along with the data inside the picture and they are not groups of objects. So what are they? Are they results of using the Camera tool?

    I like the ease of moving them around.

  46. Hui... says:

    @Hellomoto
    The 4 Circles are in fact camera tools
    The Left most, Best Qtr 2008, is linked to a hidden sheet Control via the formula =Control!$G$16:$I$25
    Unhide the sheet and go to that area
    You will see a circle with a cell reference and a Title and box outline

  47. hellomoto says:

    Thanks Hui. Just did what you suggested and now I am a bit bummed. I thought the circles were cool and thought that the color would change due to the value. But they are fixed objects (i.e. the colors don't change only the numbers do).

    oh well, i am now inspired to use those colored circles and figure out how to switch between them to show status. Do you have any suggestions on how I might do that (use custom objects as the traffic lights, instead of the standard conditional formatting ones)?

  48. hellomoto says:

    Thanks Hui, I will read it today.

  49. Ganesh says:

    One quick question on Dashboards..
    Can we export these to Powerpoint and do a presentation as we do in Excel?

    Pls ..

    • Chandoo says:

      @Ganesh... You can take snapshots of the dashboards and put them in PPT. But if you want full interactive experience, opening them in Excel is your best bet.

  52. Michael says:

    Excel is very useful for building dashboards (among other things).

    If your company is calculating sales commissions in Excel I have found a tool which takes your commissions spreadsheet and generates custom reports for you. I know Excel has their own reports they don't have any sales specific functions.

    Check out the tool at http://www.oneclickcommissions.com/cha.html

    Thanks for all the documents everyone.

    -Michael
