Visualizing All Data, At A Glance.

Do you find pulling and manipulating data from multiple sources manually challenging? The process is often tedious, sub-optimal and even inefficient. Have you ever wondered about how you could generate relevant information and gain insights from your data using Excel? Dashboards are the key in today’s data-driven environment.

So, what exactly is an Excel Dashboard? A dashboard provides real-time results by aggregating and extracting value from all of the collected data, otherwise known as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

A data dashboard is an information management tool that visually tracks, analyses and displays key performance indicators (KPI), metrics and key data points to monitor the health of a business, department or specific process. They are customizable to meet the specific needs of a department and company. Through the use of data visualizations, an excel dashboard simplifies complex data sets into manageable chunks of visual information and other strategic data to provide users with an awareness of current performance – at a quick glance.

Microsoft Excel is a power data analysis tool for creating interactive Dashboards. Much more affordable and highly available as compared to other tools, learning how to build them through our advanced Excel dashboard training will be a great addition to your skills. Likewise, as Excel is a commonly used application globally, you will be able to employ the skills attained in our Excel dashboard course in Singapore anytime.
