Create and Use Excel Dashboards to Gain Valuable Business Insights
Duration: 90 Minutes
Dashboards and reports are a critical tool in your communication armoury. A well-designed and meaningful dashboard offers a CEO, shareholder or Project Manager a valuable insight into the Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) upon which a business or project is measured and enables them to determine the future direction of the business or project.
This session with expert speaker Mike Thomas will help you create Excel dashboards, using Excel 2016 for Windows and leverage the power of data analysis to make critical business decisions. Note that much of the functionality available in Excel 2016 is also featured in Excel 2013 and 2010.
