Decide with Confidence with The Decision Matrix Template in Excel & Google Sheets

"What if I choose the wrong one?"

It is the question that keeps business owners awake at night. Whether you are hiring a key employee, selecting a software vendor, or deciding on your next product launch, the fear of making a mistake can be paralyzing.

This is called Analysis Paralysis. You stare at the data until it blurs, eventually making a choice based on "gut feeling" just to get it over with.

You don't need more intuition; you need a scoring system. You need the AceSheets Decision Matrix & Task Priority Tracker, a professional decision matrix template in Google Sheets that turns subjective confusion into objective math.

1. Gut Feeling vs. Data (Weighted Scoring System)

Not all criteria are created equal. Price might be important, but is it as important as Quality?

Our tool uses a powerful weighted decision matrix template. You assign a "Weight" (e.g., 1-10) to each criterion.

• Example: Cost = 30%, Speed = 50%, Service = 20%.

• When you score your options, the sheet does the math.

This weighted scoring model ensures that the option with the highest score is actually the one that aligns best with your strategic goals, not just the one that looks "cheapest" or "nicest."

2. Prioritize Daily Tasks (The Eisenhower Integration)

Decisions aren't just about "A vs. B"; they are also about "Do Now vs. Do Later."

Unique to this tool is the integration of an Eisenhower Matrix template. While you score big strategic choices, you can also input daily tasks. The sheet automatically sorts them into the famous 4 quadrants (Do First, Schedule, Delegate, Delete). This Urgent vs Important matrix ensures you aren't just making good decisions, but also executing the right tasks to support them.

3. Compare Anything (The Grid)

Are you comparing 3 different marketing agencies? 5 different office locations?

The decision making grid on the "Input Tab" allows you to list up to 10 different options side-by-side. It moves beyond a simple pros and cons list template by forcing you to rate every option against the same standards. This effectively acts as a robust vendor selection matrix or software evaluation matrix, giving you a clear, apples-to-apples comparison.

4. Visualize the Winner

Numbers in a grid can be hard to read. You need to see the winner.

The "Dashboard Tab" automatically generates a visual ranking. Bar charts clearly display the "Total Weighted Score" for each option. If "Option A" is the clear winner, the chart shows it instantly. This visualization is crucial when using the sheet as a team decision making tool, helping to align everyone on the final choice without endless arguments.
