Webinar Description

You don’t need to peek inside your car’s gas tank to see if it’s close to empty, right? You also don’t have to take wind measurements to find out how fast you’re going! Why? Because you have meters and dials on the dashboard of your car to tell you what’s really going on. Microsoft Excel can do the same thing for your data! With a few fundamental data analysis tools, you can be well on your way to creating Excel dashboards that will inform and motivate you and your colleagues. You can use dashboards to show:

Progress on Key Performance Indicators
Financial Performance on Sales Goals
Project Completion Progress
And more!

Agenda

In this session we’ll lead you through:

Creating simple tables that are the real engine behind Excel dashboards.
Using dashboards to craft dynamic charts and graphs that really make your message pop
The dos and don’ts of dashboards, such as when “too fancy” really means “totally frustrating!”
Learn what Slicers and Sparklines are and how they enhance the usability of your dashboard

This session assumes a foundational skill level with Excel. You should be able to enter data in spreadsheets, sort it and perform a basic SUM function to add up values across a row or down a column. This session will not only introduce you to dashboards, but beef up your Excel skillset as you learn important techniques that have wide applicability to all your data projects.
