Excel with Interactive Excel Dashboards
Offered By: Udemy
Course Description
Overview
What you'll learn:
- I teach you the 5 key questions to ask in the planning stage of your report so you get it right first time.
- Learn how to choose the right chart for your data; I teach you over 20 charts and show you which type of chart will best display your data.
- Learn how to write reports that are easy to read and interpret; plus I share with you a heat map of your page that shows you where your most important data should go and where will get the least attention.
- Be able to build Dashboards that are quick and easy to update, in fact they can update themselves (imagine being able to confidently say that in an interview), by pulling in data direct from your external database, Microsoft Access, the web etc. at the click of a button if you set them up right (I show you how).
- Animate your charts with some simple VBA code that I teach you how to edit to suit your charts. If you want 'Wow factor', this is it.
- Learn how to create reports that are fully interactive so the reader can change the view themselves; they can filter by product, time period or any parameter you choose, they can show and hide data using check boxes, drop down lists, and option buttons to name a few.
- Get your skills up to date with our supplementary Excel tutorials on PivotTables, Lookup and conditional logic formulas, macros and more.
Excel Dashboards are a powerful tool to communicate and summarize complex Excel data.
The price of this course reflects its value and I'm confident you'll get results. Just read some of the unsolicited testimonials I've received:
- "Financial Analyst - $52,500 (before taking your course)
- Sr. Financial Analyst - ($60,000) After finalizing my dashboard
- Sr. Business Analyst - ($70,000) Start that this Monday
Taking your course has honed my skills and led to two promotions and a reputation. I am also energized to learn more. James C"
"I originally signed up for this as continuing professional education for my CPA license but I have learned so much, easily more than any other technical class I've taken in years. Thank you for a wonderful class, you are a great teacher. Dielle B"
Dashboards can be created to summarize important information and are excellent for sharing a “snapshot" view among teams.
