Today’s business world runs on data now more than ever before and requires tools that enable users to readily interpret and make sense of the data presented to them. To achieve a truly competitive edge, users need to be able to extract actionable, organized intelligence from raw data and present it in a visual format that shows key trends and conclusions at a glance.
What is a dashboard in Excel?
A dashboard is an easy-to-understand visual representation of data. Dashboards in Excel use elements like tables, charts, and graphs to show overviews of data that help ease the decision-making process by showing the vital parts of the data in the same window.
You can create both static and dynamic dashboards in Excel. Static dashboards highlight data from a specific time frame and dynamic dashboards update regularly to reflect changes.
