Free Forecast Accuracy Dashboard in Excel to Analyze Your Forecast Performance

Our free Forecast Accuracy dashboard in Excel allows you to objectively evaluate the quality of your demand forecasts over the past six months. It’s designed for supply chain, planning and operations teams that need a clear view of how reliable their forecasts really are and where errors tend to concentrate.

By comparing forecasted values with actual demand, this template automatically calculates the most important forecast accuracy KPIs: MAPE, MAE and BIAS. These metrics help uncover systematic deviations, recurring mistakes and potential bias in your forecasting models, both at an aggregated level and broken down by SKU, product family or warehouse.

With its practical and visual layout, the dashboard makes it easier to answer critical operational questions on a daily basis: Are we consistently overestimating or underestimating demand? Which products generate the highest errors? Is forecast accuracy improving over time or moving in the wrong direction?

In addition, analysis across monthly, quarterly and six-month periods helps identify trends, evaluate planning stability and prioritize improvement actions that have a real impact on inventory levels, service performance and decision-making.

This template is especially useful if you want to:

• Measure the real reliability of your forecasting process.
• Align teams around objective, shared metrics.
• Detect improvement opportunities before errors affect stock or service.
• Build a solid foundation to refine and optimize your forecasting models.
