Most businesses know their sales numbers — but very few know their actual profit.
A smart Excel Sales Dashboard can help you see both in real time and take better decisions.

Whether you’re a freelancer, small business owner, or part of a growing startup, this simple setup can save time, reduce errors, and give clarity.


📊 Why You Need a Sales + Profit Dashboard

  • Track daily, weekly, monthly sales
  • See your top-selling products
  • Monitor profit margins
  • Compare sales targets vs actuals

All in one place — no need to open multiple files or calculate manually.


⚙️ What Your Dashboard Should Include:

✅ 1. Sales Summary

  • Total sales amount
  • Total number of orders
  • Sales by product, region, or salesperson
  • Daily/Monthly comparison chart

✅ 2. Profit Tracker

Use this formula:

excelCopyEditProfit = Revenue - (Cost of Goods Sold + Expenses)

Show:

Add slicers for:
