3 Focus Dashboard Fundamentals Why Excel? Design Components Setting up your data Control Tables Mechanics Worksheet Navigation Components Security VBA 3
4 Dashboard Fundamentals Start with users not data. Test with users and iterate. Don t flood the user with data because you can. Design like a news paper. Don t over complicate visualizations. Use visualizations, language, icons and design patterns that users are familiar with. Put an emphasis on readability. Don t waste space with logos. 4
5 Dashboard Fundamentals Most Important Information The layout of the dashboard can be roughly divided into four quadrants based on the importance it accords to its respective content. The top-left quadrant is the section that gains the maximum attention from the user so the most important metrics should occupy this section. The other metrics should then be distributed based on their order of importance 5
6 Dashboard Fundamentals Consider Your Audience Ask how a dashboard will be used and design for next step actions. What information does the reader need to be successful? How much detail does the reader need? What action can be taken and how? How are exceptions or insights that need action highlighted? What learned or cultural assumptions may affect design choices? What do colors mean and can they be visually interpreted? Which icons are familiar? Don t forget to use color blind friendly palettes or icons. 6
7 Dashboard Fundamentals Use Best Practice Dashboard Designs Good design should tell a story with data that does not become overwhelming with way too much information, clutter or noise. Limit content to fit entirely on one screen. Be cognizant of audience natural textual reading tendency. Starting with the highest level of detail in the upper corner of the screen and show more detail you move down in the direction the audience is used to reading. Keep your dashboard simple with only a 3 to 5 key values, charts, or tables. Avoid putting too much information on a dashboard. Remember to provide adequate context and keep related items near each other. Avoid displaying singular numbers without any other context. Show degrees of change for quick comparisons. Avoid data visualization variety for the sake of variety. If detail tables are needed, place them on the bottom of the dashboard 7
8 Dashboard Fundamentals Avoid Common Data Visualization Issues Choose appropriate data visualizations. Don t use charts that distort reality i.e. 3-D charts. Keep in mind that it is difficult for the human brain to interpret circular shapes. Pie charts, donut charts, gauges and other circular chart types may look pretty but they are not a data visualization best practice. Be consistent with chart scales on axes, chart dimension ordering and also the colors used for dimension values within charts. Be sure to encode quantitative data nicely. Don t exceed three or four numerals when displaying numbers. Display measures to one or two numerals left of the decimal point and scale for thousands or millions i.e. 3.4 million not 3,400,000. Don t mix levels of precision and time. Make sure that time frames are well understood. Don t have one chart that has last month next to filtered charts from a specific month of the year. Don t mix big and small measures on the same scale, such as on a line or bar chart. For example one measure can be in the millions and the other measure in the thousands. With such a large scale, it would be difficult to see the differences of the measure that is in the thousands. Don t clutter your charts with data labels that are not needed. The values in bar charts are usually well understood without displaying the actual number. 8
9 Dashboard Fundamentals Three Types of Dashboards A dashboard is a single display that in a glance provides essential information for a specific objective. Since you are limited to a single display capable of being monitored at a glance, the first step of dashboard design is to select the purpose of your dashboard. Will it be Strategic, Analytical or Operational? Answering this question will keep your dashboard from falling victim to trying to be everything to everyone. 9
10 Dashboard Fundamentals Three Types of Dashboards Operational Dashboards Monitor real time operations and alerts Tool: Enterprise reporting systems Frequently updated Provides record level alerts Drill through to more detail Strategic Dashboards Provides overall health of organization Used to identify potential opportunities for further analysis Simple, less detail Less interactive Analytical Dashboards Provide data required to understand trends Compares across time Data dense Most complex of all 3 Most interactive than all 3 Multiple filters 10
11 Why Excel? Analytic dashboards yes? Move past pivot charts Ability to lock down the mechanics not to mention the data Flexibly in format, navigation, content etc. 11
