Leader brief

What a technology leader should know about Excel Dashboard Masterclass

What it is

An Excel dashboard turns thousands of rows of raw, messy data into a one-page view a manager can read in ten seconds, refreshed with new data in one step.

Why now

Most business reporting still lives in Excel; a clean, interactive dashboard replaces manual weekly reports without new software.

Decisions you will make

  • Which KPIs belong on the one page
  • Cleaning rules for raw exports
  • How new data is added and refreshed

Risks if ignored

  • Decisions made on inconsistent numbers
  • Hours lost rebuilding the same report every week

Cost

Free: Excel for the web with a free Microsoft account is enough.

Who owns what

AnalystData cleaning, formulas, PivotTables and the dashboard
ManagerChoosing the KPIs and acting on them

Questions to ask your team

  • Which three numbers do we look at every week?
  • How long does the weekly report take to build?
