Creating dynamic dashboards in Excel and Google is a fantastic and cost-effective way to view important data with minimal construction time.

Shelly and Tom will provide you with practical, hands-on, step-by-step instructions to turn your static data table into a dynamic dashboard that will “wow” your stakeholders. We will demonstrate how to use Pivot Tables, PivotCharts, and Slicers to create well-designed dashboards that allow your stakeholders to slice-and-dice the data in seconds. You will leave the workshop with clear steps that you can immediately implement to create stunning dashboards that are pliable, dynamic and easy to reproduce.
