INTRODUCTION:

Dashboard: The dashboard is a single visual display combining data from several
sources to control the health of a business, a department, or a process, by
monitoring the business KPIs, metrics, and key data points.

KPIs: A KPI is a measurable value that indicates a company’s progress towards its
goals and how well that company is achieving its key business objectives.
Selecting the right KPIs for measuring a company’s success is an important need
for any organization.

Characteristics of Dashboards

Customizable: There are several types of dashboards, including operational,

strategic, and analytical dashboards. The differences among these three types
depend on the type of information and level of detail in the dashboard report. As a
result, each dashboard type targets different teams and different business
departments.

All-in-one: By using the dashboard tool, you can represent all data analysis in one
place. This gives a valuable advantage over the old-fashioned method of reviewing
huge reports to reach conclusions.

Easy to use and understand: Most dashboard software is easy to use, and
special training is not required. The software uses drag-and-drop features to create
charts or graphs. we can also import data from different data sources, such as
spreadsheets or
databases.
Accessibility: In an era of speed and competitiveness, especially in business
sectors, accessibility to data matters. A crucial advantage of dashboards is that they
are accessible from anywhere and at any time, even on mobile devices.

Use of Microsoft Excel as a Dashboard Designing Tool

Excel is everywhere, and most people are familiar with it. Designing a dashboard
in Excel is a perfect project. You can make several charts to manage the data, the
user interface, manage screen in real time etc. Excel can easily accommodate
changes, unlike other tools that force you to take a more structured approach and
are less flexible when it comes to chart formatting and design.
