What should a PowerPoint Dashboard contain?

Among the basic details about the project a dashboard should be able to clearly communicate the KPI (Key Performance Indicators) of the project. 
The KPI can include a project schedule which shows how the project is progressing and will it complete on time as per the plan. The schedule can be reported as a set of tasks or can be simply reported a % complete. The Schedule can also be reported a timeline which has the start and end dates of all the high-level projects phases.
The Project budget is a KPI which is a must on any status or dashboard. Typically, everyone wants to know how money does the project have, how much is spent and how much remains. Sometimes it helps to also report on the subcategories on the project budget - Resources, Software, Hardware etc. Including a budget meter is also helpful as that will tell the management that budget is an issue.

Risks and Issues should part of any status reporting including dashboards. It is important to report the number of risks and issues open with their severity. For example, you could have 10 risks or issues open but if they are all low category then you might scare people unnecessarily. You can also simply report top 3 risks or issues. 
A lot of pending actions or change requests can also derail a project easily. It is a good idea to have a total count of change requests or action items pending. Too many pending actions or change can indicate that a project is in trouble.
