Overview:
The term “dashboard” is a buzzword in the world of Excel and in businesses today. A dashboard report is a management tool that measures and presents critical data on the key business performance areas in a summarised manner much like a car dashboard, so management can quickly respond with appropriate decisions.
Dashboards enable the reader to make sense of the raw numbers by presenting them in visually rich charts and tables and give valuable insights into the key performance indicators of the business.
The course covers an introduction into some of the lesser known charting techniques along with advanced tools and functions of Excel.
(The course will be of benefit to anyone using Excel 2007 onwards, however, it is recommended to be running at least Excel 2013 when following the course for optimum experience.)
