Employee Turnover Analysis Excel Dashboard — Practice Dataset & Tutorial

Master HR analytics with a complete Employee Turnover Analysis Excel Dashboard. This guide includes a free practice dataset and a step-by-step walkthrough so you can analyze headcount, turnover, tenure, and gender trends—and present results professionally.

You can apply the same approach to Google Sheets Dashboards, Power BI Dashboards, and even export visuals into a PowerPoint Dashboard using your existing templates.


What You’ll Build

  • Total Headcount (2018–2024): 100 employees (sample)
  • Turnover rate: 35% (calculated from Active vs Exited)
  • Department filter: Customer Support, Finance, HR, Marketing, Sales
  • KPIs at a glance: Active employees, Exited employees, Turnover rate

The dashboard uses PivotTables, slicers, and clean charts so you can slice results by department and instantly compare new hires vs exits across quarters.

Department & Exit Reasons

Use a department bar chart to spot where turnover is highest, then compare exit reasons—retirement, health issues, termination, personal reasons, better opportunities, relocation—to decide where to focus retention efforts.

Trends & Tenure

  • Quarterly trend (2020–2024): new hires vs exits
  • Average tenure: 1.7 years (sample)
  • Gender view: stacked bars for active vs exited by gender

How to Practice (No Experience Needed)

1) Edit the dataset

The file starts with 100 rows and scales easily. Fields include: Employee ID, Department, Join Date, Exit Date, Exit Reason, Status, Gender, Age.

2) Calculate headcount & turnover

  1. Create a PivotTable and place Employee ID in Values (change to Count).
  2. Build two PivotTables for Active and Exited counts.
  3. Compute Turnover Rate = Exited / Total Headcount and link it to a KPI card.

3) Add department slicer (with icons)

  1. Insert a slicer for Department and arrange horizontally.
  2. Style it and (optional) add small circular icons/photos per department for a modern, interactive look.
