The sheets

  1. 01
    Goals

    Forty rows: area from a list, goal, metric, unit, start, target, current, start date, due, owner. Progress % with bars, expected % from the dates, days left, status (Done green, Behind yellow, Overdue red). Goals, done, on track, behind, overdue, average progress, due in 30 days. Pro: current from the latest check-in.

  2. 02
    Check-ins

    Goal × twelve months from the first month on Setup. Type the month-end value; latest, change since start, target and to go are calculated. Months that ended without a value are tinted.

    Pro
  3. 03
    Areas

    Per area and per owner: goals, done, on track, behind, overdue, average progress with bars.

    Pro
  4. 04
    Setup

    As-of date, first month of check-ins, areas, owners.

    Pro
  5. 05
    Formulas

    Nine formulas explained: the sign-proof progress ratio, expected progress, the status order, the last filled-in month without LOOKUP tricks.

Built for

  • Excel 2016+
  • Google Sheets
  • Numbers

Every workbook is recalculated in LibreOffice and by a second, independent formula engine on the sample data; the totals are compared with numbers worked out outside any spreadsheet, and every formula cell is scanned for errors. We don't run Excel itself on the build machine, so this says built for, not tested in — open the live preview to see the numbers the formulas produce.

What that means app by app: in Google Sheets, in Apple Numbers, in LibreOffice Calc.

Progress that survives goals going down

KPI tracking usually fails on the metrics that should go down, so that’s where this sheet starts.

Half of a KPI list is things that should shrink — days to close, support hours, DSO — and most trackers break on them. Here progress is (current − start) ÷ (target − start): for a goal that goes down both differences are negative, the sign cancels, and a sales cycle cut from 41 to 36 days on the way to 30 reads 45%, not −45%. MIN and MAX hold it between 0 and 100%.

Expected progress is the calendar’s opinion — how much of the time between the start date and the due date has passed. Status compares the two with a ten-point tolerance: On track, Behind, and above them Done and Overdue, in that order, so a finished goal never reads as overdue.

Pro: the monthly check-in

Check-ins is a goal-by-month grid: type the value at the end of each month and Goals takes the latest as the current value. The “latest” is found by taking the biggest month date among the filled cells and looking it up again — gaps are fine, and it avoids the LOOKUP(2, 1/…) idiom that behaves differently between apps. Months that ended without a number are tinted, which is the nudge the sheet exists for. Areas adds the by-area and by-owner view with average progress bars.

Checked, not just built

The build recalculates both workbooks in LibreOffice and in a second, independent engine and compares sixty-eight values — every goal’s progress, expected and status, the summary counts, the latest check-in and change per goal, and the by-area and by-owner tables — against numbers computed outside Excel.
