Simple Dashboard in Excel

Description
A dashboard is a visual representation of key metrics that allow you to quickly view and analyze your data in one place. Dashboards not only provide consolidated data views, but a self-service business intelligence opportunity, where users are able to filter the data to display the data and key business and financial metrics that are important to them.

Creating an Excel dashboard is one way to increase your productivity with Excel. You will be able to see all the important information about your data immediately, and by using filters to see the resulting KPIs, and other important metrics.

Excel Dashboards use dashboard elements like tables, charts, maps, and gauges to show the overviews. The dashboards ease the decision-making process by showing the vital parts of the data in the same window, as wel as any other financial and business metrics.

You can use an Excel dashboard to track your company's key performance metrics. In many cases, this will show the data in both table and graph formats.
