What Other customer speak :
Customer Review1 :
This book is very easy to follow, takes you painlessly and logically step-by-step through the dashboard development process and using Excel to get you there. My organization was so happy to see a single dashboard that I developed using this book that used to take 6-8 Powerpoint slides to present.
Customer Review2 :
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.
Customer Review3 :
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.
Customer Review4 :
This book is well written and chock full of useful material. Unless you are an Excel guru, you will learn new things from this book. The book and the associated website are rife with examples that can immediately be put to "real world" use.
Customer Review5 :
I purchased this book 2 weeks ago and found it provided a very good introduction to the concepts of dashboards.
The use of the 3-layer approach (Data, Analysis & Presentation) is akin to any business intelligence development.
The author introduces solid BI concepts without the technical jargon and complexity.
The spreadsheet downloads from the website is very handy to help follow the creation and modifications of reports and dashboards.
The pivot table aspect was also well covered. After this book I'll be purchasing a more advanced one on pivot tables.
