Excel 2007 Dashboards and Reports For Dummies. By Michael Alexander. Likewise, many dashboards have been called reports. In Microsoft Excel 2007, it isn’t difficult to use report and dashboard interchangeably. Often, reports are referred to as dashboards just because they included a few charts. All of this may seem like semantics but it’s helpful to clear the Excel air a bit and understand the core attributes of what are considered to be reports and dashboards. Reports are probably the most common application of business intelligence. A report can be described as a document that contains data used for reading or viewing.

I've been working with a web analytics tool to track our corporate web site performance. I found the available reports to be limiting, but recently learned that I can import the raw data into Excel. However, I needed help with what to do once I had the raw data! I want to disseminate this information throughout my organization, but don't want maintenance of the dashboard to be a full-time job. But I really wanted to be able to display trending.... that's what my users care about. So I ordered this book. I use Excel, but not extensively. I knew how to do pivot tables and charts, but had never used functions such as VLOOKUP. This book gave me the advice I needed to set up a useful, visually appealing, and maintainable dashboard. It was especially helpful in getting past my unfamiliarity with the 2007 version of Excel. Now I'm looking for a more advanced Excel book. I highly recommend this book as a first step into the world of dashboarding. If you get this book, don't forget to download the examples - it helps a lot to see how the functions interact.

I'm a pretty advanced Excel user, but got a lot of good ideas and tips on dasboarding from this book. It's packed with practical tools and advice. The author does a great job of explaining, step by step, how to use various form controls, charting tools, pivot tables, macros, and more.

I especially liked the sections on form controls, macros and Chart Design principles. I tried using Mr. Alexander's design principles on one of my recent charts (a chart that I had previously been rather proud of, but after reading, realized was a clunky and cluttered abomination). Using his "less is more" principles I turned that baby into a thing of beauty and a joy forever. I'm starting to feel like the Frank Lloyd Wright of Excel charting.

I might add that the author has a quirky sense of humor that helps make the book an enjoyable read.

Michael Alexander has done a great job of explaining some complex Excel concepts in plain English and with some humor. I considered myself an intermediate user but had not really worked in Pivot Tables and all that go with them. This book has been a revelation and is one I'm reading front to back. The practice files that can be downloaded are great aids (although finding them on the web site is a pain).
The first couple of chapters should not be missed: storyboarding your data to make the best use of it in a dashboard and understanding different levels of analysis are critical prior to jumping into the rest of the book.
This is a book I highly recommend.

This is a great book to have as a resource for not only some of the new features of Excel 2007, but also as a primer to what a data warehouse is and what it means to build one.

There are many great examples that can simply make spreadsheets look and work better regardless of whether you are building a dashboard or not.

This book clearly present the steps to making a dashboard. Starting with the pivot table, they build on various dashboarding concepts- conditional formating, the camera option, macro, sparklines, to dynamically linking excel to power point.

The authors make excel dashboarding easy, effective, and powerful. Thank you to the authors for making such a clear and useful book. This excellent book has really improved my output at work.

I love Excel. This is one of the few software that actually holds the test of time and keeps seeming to get better. But, getting better also means getting more complicated. This is what makes the "For Dummies" series so valuable. I can say that it would be nice if they added in interactive modules for download or created special forums for those of us who purchase this product to bounce ideas and questions around.

I've always considered myself a knowledgeable Excel user, but this book taught me a lot of new tricks and improved my knowledge of Excel charting. I'm new to the whole dashboarding concept but Dashboards and Reports for Dummies laid everything out in easy-to-understand chapters that slowly build upon each other. While this book won't make me a dashboards expert it will make it possible for me to present concise and useful information to my management team. Highly recommended for beginners and experts alike.

As most "For Dummies" books this does what it advertises. There are times I wish it was a bit different in layout but for the most part it helped me with my presentations. Some of the limitations are my own brain accepting that Excel may not do what I want the way I want. Ha. If you are new to dashboards and reporting this is a very handy book and easier to use than the others I purchased. It is the one I go back to the most and the one that is borrowed by others a lot.
