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

3. Decide which dashboard widgets you want to use to display each of your metrics. The following widge
us know if you would like us to design more). Try to stick to three or four styles per dashboard.
- 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.
5. Sketch your dashboard out on paper. It is significantly easier to first design a dashboard on paper than

Tab #1 – rename as ‘My Dashboard’

Tab #2 – rename as ‘My Configuration Page’
Tab #3 – rename as ‘My Calculations Page’
6. Copy and paste the widgets you want to use from the Excel Dashboard Widgets ‘Widgets Showcase’
them into your required dashboard layout. It is good practice to group the widgets into thematic areas an
metrics on the upper left hand side. Use the cell lines to help you line the widgets up neatly.
7. Copy and paste the configuration tables from the ‘Widgets Showcase’ onto Tab #2 and arrange them i
dashboard layout.
8. Copy and paste the relevant widget calculations tables from the ‘Widget Showcase Calcs’ tab into Tab
9. Now comes the difficult part – you need to link these three tabs together in exactly the same way as th

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