Unit learning outcomes
Create a dashboard in Excel that showcases the
key aspects of a data set
Dashboards track KPIs, metrics, and other data points in one visual, central place. They are made up of tables, charts, gauges, and numbers and give you a high-level view of work, helping you make quick decisions and keeping everyone up to date. A dashboard’s visual nature simplifies complex data and provides an at-a-glance view of status or performance in real time.
Before you start building your dashboard, consider the following:
Provide a brief synopsis of the data highlighted in the dashboard and a list of business recommendations based on the findings.
To make effective decisions organisations need accurate, timely, objective and concise information. Often this information is delivered in a business report written in response to a business issue or problem. The recommendations section of a report suggests actions that can be taken to address the issue based on findings. Recommendations could be for change, improvement or new ideas to improve such areas as service, productivity or performance.
