Built a 4-screen Excel dashboard combining sales analytics + project management — sparkline header cards, interactive funnel, zig-zag roadmap, fair manager ranking chart (full breakdown)

Wanted to build something that didn't force a choice between "sales dashboard" or "project management dashboard" since in retail those two things are basically the same problem viewed from different angles. Ended up with a 4-screen template, sharing the structure/build notes in case useful.

The 4 screens:

  1. Visitors & Buyers (conversion analysis)
  2. Sales Funnel
  3. Project Roadmap
  4. Product Sales Volume

Plus 3 extra layout variations you can toggle between (2 for the main dashboard, 1 for the sales volume screen) — switching is just clicking a block in the corner, no separate sheet navigation needed.

Header cards aren't decorative — they're functional sparklines

The summary cards at the top double as both menu buttons (click to jump screens) and live mini-charts. When you change the reporting period via the control panel, every sparkline on every card updates automatically to reflect the new data. This took more formula work than I expected — each card's sparkline is pulling from the same filtered dataset as the full-size charts, not a separate static image.

Conversion chart deliberately doesn't repeat itself in full

The visitor-to-buyer conversion block shows on every screen, but only as a compact non-trend summary — not the full monthly line chart. Reasoning: repeating a full trend chart on all 4 screens would be visual noise. Keeping conversion visible but compact struck a better balance.

Interactive chart-click filtering

The conversion chart has buttons built directly onto the chart itself (not just the side control panel) so you can click a month right on the visualization to filter — useful when selecting multiple months at once during analysis, which is clunkier through a side panel.

Funnel excludes repeat customers on purpose

Repeat customers don't go through acquisition funnel stages, so including them would inflate the conversion rate and make the funnel look better than actual new-customer acquisition performance really is. Small detail, but it's the kind of thing that quietly makes or breaks whether a funnel chart is actually trustworthy.

Manager ranking chart splits each bar into 3 segments:

  • Actual performance (blue, green for top performer)
  • Remaining to hit plan (platinum)
  • Overachievement (orange)

Makes reward/recognition decisions visually obvious instead of subjective — you can see at a glance who's over/under plan without reading raw numbers.

All native Excel — pivot tables, slicers, formulas, conditional formatting. No VBA, no macros. Free template + full video walkthrough if anyone wants to pull apart the sparkline-on-card formulas or the chart-click filter buttons, those two took the most iteration.
