Using only Excel, you can create and update your own dashboard reports quickly. by Charley Kyd Microsoft Excel MVP Do most of your Excel reports look somewhat like these gray examples? If so, your audience must work hard to convert that mass of data into useful insight. But your Excel reports don't have to be that way. They could be easy to read and understand. This page shows many dashboard reports and figures created entirely with Excel. These "magazine-quality" dashboards act like the dashboard of your car. They can present a massive amount of useful information quickly and easily. Most Business Intelligence (BI) software costs many thousands of dollars. It typically displays much less information per page or screen than these reports do. And Subject Matter Experts like you typically have less control over those expensive displays than the IT department does. But because you already own Excel, you can create reports like this for free. You only need ordinary Excel workbooks, with no macros. To be clear, because you already own Excel you pay nothing for the software needed to create these dashboard reports. Excel users in more than 160 countries are using Excel to create reports like these for their managers, clients, co-workers, or investors. You can see testimonials from some of them on this page.

If you need a dashboard report in a hurry, you can use my new Quick-and-Easy Dashboard Kit Version 2 (QnE2). To generate your first report in a few hours you merely... a. Choose a portrait or landscape report format. b. Enter your actual and target data (when you have targets) in data worksheets. c. Apply a color theme. d. Recalculate your workbook (press F9) if your manual calculation mode is set in Excel. e. Print your magazine-quality report, or save it as a PDF file. 2. If you need tables in your report, or if you want to emphasize certain measures over others, you can use Version 2 of the Database Dashboard Kit (DB2). It takes a little longer to create your tables, but otherwise, the formulas, format, and data worksheets are the same as for QnE2. 3. If you want to learn how to create your own Excel dashboard reports from scratch. My Excel Dashboard E-Book Kit provides a 200-page e-book and sample files that teach you what you need. Overview of the Dashboard Kits The reports in IncSight QnE2 and IncSight DB2 look like they came from the pages of a business magazine. Unless you tell your audience, they probably won't guess that you created your reports in Excel. The dashboard kits are designed for Excel 2007, Mac Excel 2008, and above. (If you use earlier versions of Excel, see IncSight QnE , IncSight DB , and Dashboard Reporting With Excel .) I created these reports with one goal in mind: As Excel users, our purpose is to communicate business information clearly. That is, our purpose is not to impress our audience with pretty pictures. Therefore, these reports avoid chart junk. This is Edward Tufte's term for the distracting eye candy that many commercial dashboard companies add to their expensive dashboard reports. Although the two IncSight dashboard kits use the same 30-page instruction manual, you probably will need only its first two pages, which offer Quick-Start instructions. Other pages explain how to modify your dashboards, and explain some of their finer points. For example, if you want to change from monthly reports to daily reports, or if you want to report dozens of periods of performance, the documentation explains how to do it. After your data is ready you should be able to create your first dashboard report in an hour or two. And you should be able to update your reports each month in less than five minutes. (Why does updating go so quickly? It's because you keep your data in a separate data worksheet, which all your dashboard reports can use. So you just update your data once; then in each report workbook, you change the date in a cell to tell your report to display your new data.) Later, if you care to do so, you can reduce your update time to nearly nothing by using the techniques I describe in the Excel Dashboard E-Book Kit. For example, you could use Excel's GETPIVOTDATA function to link your data worksheets to PivotTables.

Compared to standard reports, dashboard reports can provide more information in less reading time and effort. Using only Excel, you can create and update your own dashboard reports quickly.

Do most of your Excel reports look somewhat like these gray examples?
If so, your audience must work hard to convert that mass of data into useful insight. Butyour Excel reports don't have to be that way. They could be easy to read and understand.
This page shows many dashboard reports and figures created entirely with Excel. These"magazine-quality" dashboards act like the dashboard of your car. They can present amassive amount of useful information quickly and easily.
Most Business Intelligence (BI) software costs many thousands of dollars. It typicallydisplays much less information per page or screen than these reports do. And SubjectMatter Experts like you typically have less control over those expensive displays than theIT department does.
But because you already own Excel, you can create reports like this for free. You only needordinary Excel workbooks, with no macros.

Excel users in more than 160 countries are using Excel to create reports like these for theirmanagers, clients, co-workers, or investors. You can see testimonials from some of themon this page.
You can create your own professional-quality reports, using Excel on either a Windows orMac computer.
Of course, if there's something you want to change about these reports, you can do soeasily. This isn't complex software. It's only Excel.
Three Dashboard Kits to Choose From
I offer three ways to create dashboard reports.
1. If you need a dashboard report in a hurry, you can use my new Quick-and-Easy Dashboard Kit Version 2 (QnE2). To generate your firstreport in a few hours you merely...
a. Choose a portrait or landscape report format.b. Enter your actual and target data (when you have targets) in data worksheets.c. Apply a color theme.d. Recalculate your workbook (press F9) if your manual calculation mode is set in Excel.e. Print your magazine-quality report, or save it as a PDF file.
2. If you need tables in your report, or if you want to emphasize certain measures over others, you can useVersion 2 of the Database Dashboard Kit (DB2). It takes a little longer to create your tables, but otherwise, theformulas, format, and data worksheets are the same as for QnE2.
3. If you want to learn how to create your own Excel dashboard reports from scratch. My Excel Dashboard E-Book Kitprovides a 200-page e-book and sample files that teach you what you need.
Overview of the Dashboard Kits
The reports in IncSight QnE2 and IncSight DB2 look like they came from the pages of a business magazine. Unlessyou tell your audience, they probably won't guess that you created your reports in Excel.
The dashboard kits are designed for Excel 2007, Mac Excel 2008, and above. (If you use earlier versions of Excel,see IncSight QnE, IncSight DB, and Dashboard Reporting With Excel.)
I created these reports with one goal in mind: As Excel users, our purpose is to communicate business informationclearly. That is, our purpose is not to impress our audience with pretty pictures.
Therefore, these reports avoid chart junk. This is Edward Tufte's term for the distracting eyecandy that many commercial dashboard companies add to their expensive dashboardreports.

worksheets to PivotTables.
To get started with either set of reports, you need to take only three general steps:
1. Choose a dashboard template workbook. Each kit of dashboard templates offers different report formats, which I describe below. Andyou'll find examples from both kits below.
2. Enter your titles and data codes. Each chart in a report workbook is linked to a support worksheet, which usesformulas to return data from your data worksheets. These formulas rely on the report date and on the data codesyou assign to each row of data. The data codes could be product codes, general ledger account numbers, SKUs,Series IDs, and so on. To illustrate, if you want chart 5 to report data for code C023, you enter "C023" in one cell inthe support worksheet for chart 5, and the formulas do the rest.
If you own the Excel Dashboard E-Book Kit (below), you can enter the formulas I discuss in chapters 6 - 8, formulasthat link your dashboard workbook to your Excel data worksheets, or to corporate databases.
3. Choose your color themes. Each IncSight kit includes two color themes. And additional color themes areavailable. Use a simple Excel command to apply any color scheme to your report workbook. Experiment until youfind the one you like best. If you don't like a particular color in one of the color schemes, just change it.
Then print your first report, or save it as a PDF file.
Monthly, you can follow a simple process to update your report quickly. Maintaining your report workbook is easy.There are no macros to break. Nothing is hidden or protected. It's just ordinary Excel.
Flexible Reporting
When you use your Excel dashboards for management reporting, you'll have better results if you remember how flexible thesedashboards are. This flexibility can improve the value of your reports significantly...
Remember that when you create your first dashboard report, the first measures you include don't need to be perfectly chosen. This
is because your audience quickly will suggest other measures they want to see.
For most "real" reporting solutions, changes like this can be an expensive problem, but not for yourdashboard templates. If the data is available, you can replace one measure with another in about tenseconds. So the important thing is to get your first dashboard report into your managers' hands as quicklyas possible.
Remember that different managers have different information needs...and that's okay.
With normal Excel reports, that can be a huge problem because normal Excel reports typically take a lot oftime to generate. But it's not a problem with these dashboards. This is because you'll be able to open,update, and print each manager's report in only a few seconds. So you could update and generate dozensof different reports in less than half an hour.
Remember that you can report data from any source; you're not trapped within the limits of your corporatedatabase.
So if your managers want your reports to include data from "silo" systems, or from your web site, or aboutyour competitors, or about the economy, or from a log that some intern maintains...that's not a problem. Youjust add the data to your spreadsheet database and treat it like any other data in your dashboard reports.
In short, I've designed these dashboard templates to be used as a perpetual prototype that you can adapt quickly to changingconditions, to changing opinions, to changing managers, and to changes in your managers' information needs. So be sure to take fulladvantage of this power.
Inexpensive Reporting
Because of the value these kits offer, I originally planned to charge several hundreddollars each for them. But I decided to lower the price significantly, and then lowerthem even more for this Introductory Sale. I want as many Excel users as possible tobe able to generate their own Excel dashboard reports, and a price of hundreds ofdollars is beyond the reach of many budgets.
Even so, the price would have been a huge bargain:
Commercial dashboard software typically costs tens of thousands of dollars andtakes many days to set up. Custom Excel dashboard reports could cost thousands of dollars for just a fewreports. But my template kits include 20 report designs for IncSight DB2 and 34designs for IncSight QnE2...so the reports cost just a few bucks each. Because none of the expensive solutions would allow you to generate reports ina few hours, and modify them easily, these kits offer significant benefits that theexpensive solutions lack.
And you can save even more if you buy the kits in one of the bundles I describe below.
The Quick-and-Easy Dashboard Kit
My Quick-and-Easy Excel Dashboard Kit, Version 2, (IncSight QnE2) is the quickest,easiest, and least-expensive way I know for average Excel users to generatemagazine-quality Excel dashboard reports.
This image shows one of the 34 dashboard reports that the kit offers.
QnE2 offers a matrix of equal-size charts per page, both portrait and landscape. Thisdesign lets you quickly create reports of the data your audience needs. This kit canreport as few as four charts (in a 2x2 matrix) to as many as 25 charts in a portraitreport (in a 5x5 matrix), or as many as 28 charts in a landscape report (in a 7x4matrix).
By default, each chart in each report shows 13 months of actual and targetedperformance. If you don't have targets for some of your measures, just set up your targets with zero values. And the instructions explainhow to report other time periods, and to add or reduce the number of periods your dashboards display.
The Database Dashboard Kit
IncSight DB was the first dashboard kit that was linked to Excel worksheets in a separate database workbook. So naturally, I named it"DB", for "Database". Now, both DB2 and QnE2 can report from the same data worksheets.
When you compare this dashboard with the previous one, you'll get a pretty good idea

David BorderManaging DirectorDBCC
When you compare this dashboard with the previous one, you'll get a pretty good ideaabout how the packages differ. Specifically...
1. DB2 allows you to show both charts and small tables in one report.
2. DB2 offers 20 individual portrait and landscape designs rather than 34 designs
that each use a matrix of charts of the same size.
3. DB2 offers two different color themes than IncSight QnE2.
Both IncSight DB, Version 2, and IncSight QnE, Version 2, use the same databaseworkbooks, and the same design for their data support worksheets for charts. Andthey both share the same users manual and Quick-Start instructions. So when youknow how to use one set of templates you know most of what you need for the other.
The Excel Dashboard E-Book Kit
My ebook, Dashboard Reporting With Excel, teaches you how to create Excel dashboardsfrom scratch. It doesn't discuss the reports on this page specifically, but it does explainhow to set up the charts, tables, and formatting that I used to create these reports.
The kit consists of the 200-page e-book and a package of more than 20 files that thebook discusses. Here are its major topics:
How to Create Mini-Charts. Excel users often print charts about the size of post cards.But business magazines often print charts about the size of postage stamps. By usingsmall charts in our reports, we give our audience more insight more quickly than anyother method of reporting. Chapter 2 of the e-book explain how to create thosemagazine-quality "mini-charts." And the workbooks that accompany the e-bookillustrate each step along the way.
Other Useful Techniques for Dashboards. Good dashboards often require additionalcharting techniques. In Chapter 3, I explain how to add an additional data series to achart, how to include multiple chart types, how to overlay two charts to create specialeffects, how to use auto-shapes in charts, and so on. This chapter also explains whyyou shouldn't use gauges in dashboard reports.
How to Create Figures that Use Both Charts and Worksheets. In dashboards, cell formatting, column widths, row heights, specialformulas, and other spreadsheet elements all combine with charts to create the figures we see. Chapter 4 explains how to use theseelements in your dashboard reports.
Excel's Camera Tool. This long-time Excel feature probably is the most-useful feature that most Excel users havenever heard of. Also known as a picture link, it gives you the ability to position live images of tables anywhere inyour dashboard report.
And because you even can set up a formula that determines which of several live images to display, the Cameratool allows you to include "traffic light" figures in your reports. Chapter 5 discusses the Camera tool in detail, andthe sample files include working examples.
Linking Your Reports to Databases. You can set up your dashboard reports to return data from an Exceldatabase, a PivotTable, or an Excel-friendly OLAP database. Chapter 6 discusses techniques for using PivotTablesand Excel databases, and it touches on techniques for using OLAPs. And Chapter 7 discusses Excel databases indetail.
How to Create an Excel Dashboard From Scratch. Chapter 8 begins with an empty spreadsheet and ends with acompleted dashboard report, showing you each step along the way. The files that come with the kit include thedashboard, which is linked to an Excel database.
Dashboard Design Ideas. Business magazines are an excellent source for dashboard design ideas. To help you
get the most from those magazines, Chapter 9 provides a wide variety of magazine figures, and shows Excel versions of those figures.The files include the actual spreadsheets that duplicate the magazines' charts and tables.
Bonus Dashboard Files with the Bundle
You can save money when you buy the dashboard and E-Book kits together. When you do so, you also receive oneor both of the bonus dashboard packages shown below.
The Business Week page in Bonus 1 is based on a design that BW used in the early 1990s to describe economicperformance for the week. I changed its red and yellow colors, to show Performance for the Month.
The Forbes page is based on a design that Forbes magazine used in the 1990s, also to display economicperformance. I turned it into an Executive Overview.
This dashboard is unusual because it uses only one chart. However, notice that it contains seven short tables,each of which summarizes key information that could serve as a reference for managers.
Let me reassure you that it doesn't matter what your numbers and text represent. You could use pages like this toreport customer traffic, car traffic, or astronomical observations. Excel doesn't care. That is, these reports aren'tlimited to financial and marketing information.
The Business Week page in Bonus 2 is based on a design that BW used for several years, until Bloomberg boughtthe publication. I offer it as Charley's Swipe File #21. It illustrates the basics of showing text in a dashboard page.
The second page is very unusual, because it displays 110 charts on one printed page. This is the only workbook among my dashboardproducts that contains a macro. First you format the top-left chart any way you want. Then you run the well-commented macro to createthe remaining charts. Each chart gets its data from another data set in the workbook.
How to Avoid the Coming Price Increase
I recently hired a very expensive web marketing firm to advise me. Their first recommendation was to increase all my prices by five to tentimes.
The consultants pointed out that...
My customers get better insight about their organizations muchmore quickly, and with much less work than with manycommercial Business Intelligence (BI) products.
Considering what many managers are paid, and what the valueof good decisions are worth, this benefit is worth thousands ofdollars.

My customers will be able to use Excel software they alreadyown instead of buying and learning commercial BI software. Andthis saves tens of thousands of dollars.
I've been charging way, WAY too little for these benefits, they told me.
Honestly, I'm resisting the idea, because I don't want to price thedashboards beyond the budgets of small companies, divisions,hospitals, cities, and other under-funded organizations around theworld.
In fact, to introduce Version 2 of IncSight DB and QnE, I've cut priceseven further and added the Dashboard Bonuses you see here.
I can't guarantee how long these low prices and bonuses will last. Soyou'll save money and get more free stuff if you act now.
