Excel case study · Fictional demonstration

An Excel tracker that connects daily work to monthly goals.

I built a separate tracking sheet for every day of a 31-day month, then linked the daily totals to a monthly summary and dashboard. A Settings page controls the fictional product names, goals, and point values.

The need

Keep each day separate while still reviewing the month as a whole.

A daily tracker is useful for recording individual activity, but manually combining a full month makes it harder to compare results with goals or see patterns.

Each daily sheet calculates its own activity, completed units, points, goal status, and product totals. The monthly summary and dashboard collect those results automatically.

Dashboard view

Fictional results compared with editable goals.

The dashboard shows monthly activities, completed units, points, product-goal progress, daily results versus the daily goal, and product totals versus monthly goals. Every number and product name is invented for the public demonstration.

What I built

The workbook separates daily entry from monthly review.

How it works

Use each day's tab; the monthly sheets collect the totals.

Each daily tab contains fictional interaction IDs, products, outcomes, units, points, follow-up flags, and notes. Formulas calculate the daily totals and pass them to the Monthly Summary and Dashboard.

  • One activity table for every day of the month
  • Drop-down lists use the fictional products from Settings
  • Daily goal status changes when the goal is edited
  • Product point values recalculate daily and monthly totals
  • Dashboard charts update from the monthly summary
