Sales dashboard — build one from your spreadsheet in minutes

Most sales teams already track their numbers in a spreadsheet: deals, revenue, pipeline stages, rep performance. The problem is that a spreadsheet full of rows is hard to read in a meeting or share with leadership. Sheetavo turns your existing sales spreadsheet into a clear, interactive sales dashboard — with revenue charts, KPI cards, and filters — without building anything in Power BI or Tableau.

Key metrics to track in a sales dashboard

A well-structured sales spreadsheet will have columns that map directly to these KPIs:

What your spreadsheet should look like

Sheetavo works best with a flat table — one row per deal or transaction. Recommended columns:

Keep numbers as real numbers (not "$1.2k"), dates in a consistent format, and one header row. See the SaaS metrics template for a ready-to-use example, or the CSV-to-dashboard guide if your data is a CRM export.

How Sheetavo builds your sales dashboard

  1. Upload your Excel or CSV file, or connect your Google Sheet.
  2. Sheetavo detects the date column, numeric measures, and categorical breakdowns automatically.
  3. It generates a revenue trend chart, a bar chart by rep or channel, KPI cards for total revenue and deal count, and a full data table.
  4. You rename sections, swap chart types if needed, and enable AI insights to get written highlights of what changed.
  5. Share a view-only link with your sales manager, CEO, or board — they explore filters without editing anything.

How to share your sales dashboard

Once your dashboard is ready, click Share in Sheetavo and copy the link. Viewers can use the date range filter, filter by rep or region, and step through charts in Present mode during a review meeting. They do not need a Sheetavo account or access to the original spreadsheet.

For sensitive revenue data, add optional password protection on Pro plans. For regular weekly or monthly updates, refresh the dashboard from your updated sheet with one click.

Frequently asked questions

What spreadsheet format should I use for my sales dashboard?
A flat table works best: one row per deal or transaction, with columns for date, revenue, rep name, product or channel, and deal stage. Sheetavo supports Excel (XLSX) and CSV uploads, and direct Google Sheets connections.
Can I update the sales dashboard when my data changes?
Yes. For uploaded files, you can re-upload an updated version. For Google Sheets connections, you can refresh the dashboard with one click to pull the latest data.
Can my sales manager view the dashboard without a Sheetavo account?
Yes. Share links let anyone view the dashboard in a browser without creating an account. You can optionally add a password for sensitive data.
Does Sheetavo support funnel charts for pipeline stages?
Yes. Funnel charts are available on Pro plans and work well for visualising how deals move through pipeline stages.
