Finally!! have you waited 9 whole months for this functionality to finally work in Excel. If you currently have the latest Excel version 16.x or the latest Power Query add-in for Excel, then you can immediately create awesome Facebook Insights dashboards and reports on Excel. And if you don’t have those two Excel products, don’t worry; I have made it even easier for you by creating a script for you to convert your data from one of the many Excel formats into Facebook Insights format. This is by far one of the coolest and easiest ways to integrate Facebook with Excel.
To get started, open up a new excel workbook (note: the latest version of Excel works great with Facebook insights report template). In the right-most menu, go to the data source and click on social media data source. Now, you have two choices here. You can either create a custom social media profile dashboard that you defined using the social media data source’s URL (it defaults to the URL given when you created the profile) or you can choose to import your Facebook Insights dashboards and reports directly from the API.
When it comes to Facebook Insights, there are several ways to generate your custom digital marketing reports. The first method involves using the Facebook Insights library that is included as a part of the Facebook application. This library contains different modules including content types, actions, channels, networks, search, reporting tools, feeds, and so much more. By using the Facebook Insights library, you only need to select the modules you want to display in your digital marketing report and import all the necessary information into the report. However, if you want to use the library and extract information from the API directly, then you would need to configure the library for API.
Once you have logged in to Facebook, then you will see a wide array of insights based on the information you entered in the forms. Depending on the type of Facebook Insights you are running, a report may come up after few minutes or may take a while to load. You should also note that some insights are shown only to a restricted audience. These key metrics include: page likes, number of friends, and so on. If these key metrics are not ready for consumption, then you should consider waiting until you are able to access them.
In order to get to the information you need, click on the link “Get Insights”. On the pop-up menu, click on the links “Get Insights in English” and “Get Insights in Metric”. On the left side, under “Get Insights Metrics”, click on “English” and” metric”. Look for the “Data Source” and choose the desired URL where you would like the insights data to be delivered. Once you click on the “Add URL” button, a pop-up window will appear, in which you paste the selected URL.
After the submission of the URL, wait for the report to be generated. The report will contain a table with the selected key metrics. Click on each metric in the table, and look at the report’s Metrics Overview to know what is being measured. In particular, look at the column titled “Data Source”.
After you finish the initial setup and configuration, you will be able to view your report in a three-page overview. Facebook insights dashboard provides an integration with the Facebook APIs. In this case, the API names are O analytics and S insight. The scoring module provides a mechanism to track the performance of your Facebook applications, including the integration of the scorecards and the social media metrics.

To generate the report, simply select the “Get Data” option from the menu of your Facebook insights administration area. From the drop-down menu, select “OAuth reporting” and select “Create report”. Once you click “Create”, you will receive a copy of the report to print. You can use the downloaded copy or the customized version of the custom reports in preparing the financial reports you need to present to stakeholders.
