How to Design an Excel Based Dashboard Using the Dashboard Widgets Spreadsh
We recommend that before you jump straight into designing your dashboard in Excel you take a bit of tim
information you want to show and how you want to show it. The following steps should help you prepare
1. Make a list of the key metrics you want to show on your dashboard. Remember the key dashboarding
simplicity. Try where possible to group the metrics into thematic areas. For example a Human Resource
following metrics..
Recruitment Metrics Workforce Metrics

Number of open positions Workforce breakdown by age
Average cost per recruitment Workforce breakdown by sex
Average days per recruitment Workforce breakdown by grade
Workforce breakdown by department
2. Decide the most meaningful increment of time each of the dashboard metrics will display (current, hou
quarterly or annually). You may want to design your dashboard to give you an instantaneous snapshot o

- Linear Dial Widget

- Non-Linear Dial Widget
- Thermometer Widget
- Equalizer Widget
- Traffic Light Widget
- Pie Widget
- Trend Widget
- Up/Down Widget
- Funnel Widget
- Dots Widget
4. Choose a layout for you widgets. Generally it is good practice that a dashboard should fit on a single l
printed sheet of paper (either landscape, portrait). Users should not have to scroll, turn pages, drill-down
necessary information. The following are example layouts that fit onto a single A4 sheet of paper.

Step #4
To format any of these individual colored blocks, right-click and select format shape. This will give you the norm

To reverse the scale, the simplest method is not to change the colors directly (as they are custom shades using R
