Course Description

Excel Dashboards are a powerful tool to communicate and summarize complex Excel data. They can be created to summarize important information and are excellent for sharing a “snapshot" view among teams.

In this mini-course I’m going to teach you a handful of the most powerful techniques so you can get some fast results. I’ve taught this course in various forms and the feedback has been incredible. Here are just a few:

"10 minutes in and I feel like I can save hours" - Alex

"I consider myself quite good at Excel, but your mastery of it leaves me in the ashes. The dashboard presentation was dazzling." - Ben

"Wow! I am so excited to try this myself! Thank you so much for sharing your skills." - Lyn

Very dense information that in just one hour you represented what I have spent days reading books about this subject. - Khalid

"I've been using Excel for over 10 years and I'd like to take the time to say thank you. That was definitely one of the best courses I've ever taken.

It was incredibly informative, insightful and taught me a few tips and tricks that will surely aid me in producing automated dashboards. Thank you for sharing the course materials.

Nothing short of excellent! " - Amanta

Great for people with few formulas and basic Excel operations on hand, this mini course would sharpen their Dashboard creation Idea.

By Danielle Flannery on 10/1/2025

Lots of great information and at a digestible length. Go from 0 to 100 with your dashboard in an hour. I'm working on one now and for the first time in a long time, couldn't wait to get to work to continue!

By Kofi Obo Wood on 3/1/2020

This has been quite informative; fast-paced but very informative. The tutor is well versed in excel and I picked up a lot of new tricks as an excel user. I will say this: you need to have experience and knowledge of excel to full appreciate it.

By Robson Caputto on 7/9/2019

Thanks, Mynda for the opportunity to learn more about in your dashboard course. I watched several youtube videos where other instructors used formulas to build the dashboards. You made me see that you don’t need formulas for everything and dashboards are easier to be created then I expected. Once again, thank you for letting learn from your course in another perspective.

By Varun Kapur on 2/12/2019

This was a really helpful course. I was having trouble with building dashboards at work and this course helped me by clarifying how to use various tools for building dynamic dashboards in Excel. If you are starting out with dashboards, this would be a great place to begin. Thank you Mynda for putting this together.

I needed to prepare a report for previous years work, this course helped me design a great dashboard and present it to the Management. The course really helps to get to know different types to present charts. Very Helpful indeed.

By Honorio Rivera Villanueva on 2/21/2018

I´ve been in troubles at work whenever I present my data analysis, I was not that good creating pivot tables, I wasn´t sure what information I need to use or how present it, I learned that I need to organize the information when I´m building the spreadsheet, in that way It will be easier to create pivot tables and obviously the graphics. we can show all the information value if we organize the information while we recollect it.

By Ed Ottieno on 1/11/2018

Just with this introduction course you get a lot of information to be able to do your FIRST dashboard and be a game changer. Great format of the course. Very useful resources and examples. Very important chart recipe. Like the whole setup and course speed.
