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

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!

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.

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´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.
