Excel dashboard example

What’s this dashboard for?
This Excel dashboard is for teams who track key metrics in an Excel spreadsheet, but want these metrics to be visible and accessible at a glance.
Excel spreadsheets themselves are a popular way of sharing key business metrics with team members and stakeholders. But using spreadsheets to communicate fast-moving metrics has several major drawbacks:
- Readers may not know which numbers in the spreadsheet are the most important
- The design is uninspiring
- Downloading and opening a spreadsheet takes time and effort
- By the time people look at the spreadsheet the information may be out of date
In contrast, a wall-mounted Excel dashboard makes important spreadsheet metrics easy for teams to access and understand. And because a dashboard is live, it ensures that important information is seen before it’s out of date.
All the data on this dashboard comes from a single Excel file uploaded to Dropbox. Any saved changes to the Excel file are synced with the dashboard automatically, and this ensures that only up-to-date information is displayed to your team.
