Course author and Microsoft Certified Instructor Erin Olsen began working with Excel and SharePoint while running her own small business. She holds a master's degree in education with emphasis on instructional design and technology and has been a computer trainer since 1994, starting with Windows 3.1. Her training style is based on real-world experience as an entrepreneur, orienting her instruction style toward the practical needs of everyday users in a business environment.
Olsen begins by discussing the master plan for designing dashboards, looking at the various options, creating a plan, and analyzing the data structure.
The course then explains how to prepare data in a workbook and connect it to the dashboard using tables, pivot tables, and other strategies for simplifying data.
Next, the course focuses on building the dashboard, adding navigation and visual elements, and wiring visual presentations with Excel data.
Other chapters explain how to include interactive elements such as charts and Sparklines, and how to output dashboard data.
“Excel Dashboards use visual elements to organize, summarize, and present information in packaged ways that allow for interactivity," Olsen says.
"This course is designed to help you build the foundational and advanced skills to understand the benefits of dashboards and create engaging dynamic dashboards for your data."
