💡 Introduction: Want to Track Customer Satisfaction the Smart Way?
If you’re dealing with customer feedback, you’ve probably heard of NPS — Net Promoter Score. It’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 — and the best part? You don’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.
🎥 What You’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

- Timelines for time-based insights
- Calculated fields to compute the actual NPS score inside the pivot table
- Clean, professional chart formatting tips
- And more!

📁 What You Need Before You Start
To follow along, you’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
✅ Tip: Make sure your date column is formatted properly — this is key for using Excel’s Timeline filters.
🧱 Step-by-Step: How to Build Your NPS Dashboard
Here are the major steps you’ll follow in the tutorial (and in the template):
1️⃣ Prepare Your Data
- Add calculated columns (e.g. Promoter = 1/0, Detractor = 1/0)
- Add a helper column like
AnyQuantity
to filter blank rows
2️⃣ Create Pivot Tables
- Use entire columns when inserting pivot tables (saves time later)
- Use calculated fields to compute the NPS:
NPS = (% Promoters - % Detractors)
3️⃣ Build Pivot Charts
- Choose your favorite chart types (e.g. column, line, combo)
- Clean up chart layout and design (hide filters, add titles)
4️⃣ Add Slicers and Timelines
- Slicers = filter by category (e.g. Customer Rep, Country)
- Timelines = filter by time (month, quarter, year)
5️⃣ 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
📸 Optional Screenshots or Key Visuals
Here’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
