FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Decision Matrix Excel Template FAQ

A decision matrix is an analytical tool used to evaluate and prioritize options based on multiple criteria.

Our Decision Matrix Excel Template simplifies this process by allowing you to:

  • List all your options and criteria
  • Assign numerical values and coefficients to each
  • Calculate weighted averages for each option
  • Visually compare options to determine the best choice

A common example is choosing a new car. Criteria might include:

  • Price
  • Fuel efficiency
  • Safety features
  • Performance
  • Comfort

Each car option is then rated against these criteria, helping you make an informed decision.

Our template can be easily adapted for this and many other decision-making scenarios.

With the Someka Decision Matrix Excel Template, creating a matrix is simple:

  1. Input your options and criteria in the designated areas
  2. Assign weights to your criteria
  3. Rate each option against the criteria
  4. The template automatically calculates scores and highlights the best option

No need to start from scratch – our template does the heavy lifting for you!

Our template uses a weighted scoring system:

  1. You assign a weight (importance) to each criterion
  2. You rate each option against each criterion
  3. The template multiplies the weight by the rating
  4. It sums these weighted scores for each option
  5. The highest total score is highlighted as the best option

Absolutely! Our template is designed for flexibility:

  • Add or remove options as needed
  • Customize criteria to fit your specific decision-making needs
  • The template automatically adjusts calculations and visualizations

Our Decision Matrix Template offers  visual representations:

  • Color-coding: Best option in green, worst in red, others in shades of yellow
  • Dynamic graph: Automatically resizes to show overall scores for each option

These visuals make it easy to quickly interpret results and present findings.

  6. Yuri –

    It looks good but I try to change and it was locked I purchased it why does the template still locked and ask for password?

    • Someka –

      Hello Yuri,

      Thank you for your feedback. Templates are locked as a security measure to prevent undesired changes that may affect the product’s performance.
      After purchasing, if you need to make changes to any part of it, you just have to unlock it using the password you received along with the template in your download. Look for a txt file named `password`.

  7. Alex –

      Hi Florentino,

      Adding more lines is possible, after unlocking the premium version of the product with the password we sent.
      Under the dashboard sheet, you will see plus (+) sign on the left side of the table.
      When you click on the sign, extra rows will be added automatically. Please see the image below.
