๐Ÿ“Š Build Your Own NPS Dashboard in Excel โ€” No VBA Needed!

๐Ÿ’ก Introduction: Want to Track Customer Satisfaction the Smart Way?

If you’re dealing with customer feedback, youโ€™ve probably heard of NPS โ€” Net Promoter Score. Itโ€™s a powerful metric that tells you how loyal your customers really are. But tracking NPS over time, by team, or across regions can get messy without the right tools.

Enter the Excel NPS Dashboard: simple, visual, and dynamic โ€” and the best part? You donโ€™t need any complex coding or VBA! In this post, I’ll walk you through how to build a fully functional, interactive NPS dashboard using just pivot tables, pivot charts, slicers, and timelines in Excel.

Whether you’re a beginner or an Excel enthusiast, you’ll love how easy and flexible this setup is.


๐ŸŽฅ What Youโ€™ll Learn From the Video

In the YouTube video, I share exactly how to create a high-impact Excel dashboard to analyze NPS data with:

  • Dynamic pivot tables and charts
  • Slicers to filter by representative, country, or service type
  • Timelines for time-based insights
  • Calculated fields to compute the actual NPS score inside the pivot table
  • Clean, professional chart formatting tips
  • And more!

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œIโ€™ve been the go-to Excel guy for over 10 years, and this is one of the most fun dashboards to build.โ€


๐Ÿ“ What You Need Before You Start

To follow along, youโ€™ll need:

  • A dataset with at least these columns:
    • Customer Rep
    • Customer Name
    • Classification (Promoter, Passive, Detractor)
    • Survey Completion Date
    • Country or Region
    • Type of Service

โœ… Tip: Make sure your date column is formatted properly โ€” this is key for using Excelโ€™s Timeline filters.


๐Ÿงฑ Step-by-Step: How to Build Your NPS Dashboard

Here are the major steps youโ€™ll follow in the tutorial (and in the template):

1๏ธโƒฃ Prepare Your Data

  • Add calculated columns (e.g. Promoter = 1/0, Detractor = 1/0)
  • Add a helper column like AnyQuantity to filter blank rows

2๏ธโƒฃ Create Pivot Tables

  • Use entire columns when inserting pivot tables (saves time later)
  • Use calculated fields to compute the NPS:
    NPS = (% Promoters - % Detractors)

3๏ธโƒฃ Build Pivot Charts

  • Choose your favorite chart types (e.g. column, line, combo)
  • Clean up chart layout and design (hide filters, add titles)

4๏ธโƒฃ Add Slicers and Timelines

  • Slicers = filter by category (e.g. Customer Rep, Country)
  • Timelines = filter by time (month, quarter, year)

5๏ธโƒฃ Move It All Into a Dashboard Sheet

  • Place charts on a separate “Dashboard” sheet
  • Keep pivot tables hidden but linked
  • Maintain space between pivot tables to avoid overlap errors

๐Ÿ“ธ Optional Screenshots or Key Visuals

Hereโ€™s a preview of what your dashboard could look like:

  • 4 dynamic charts: NPS by Rep, Country, Date, and Service Type
  • 2 slicers: by Rep and Country
  • 2 timelines: by Month and Year
