Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, introduces participants to Excel dashboards in this broad-reaching presentation. Dashboards give you the ability to quickly assimilate large amounts of data into spreadsheets by way of pivot tables, charts, and other Excel features, including the Recommended Charts feature, PivotTable feature, PivotChart feature, Quick Analysis feature, and others.
After the webcast, you’ll be equipped to summarize and present your Excel data in an efficient manner.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
