How do I do dashboard charts in Excel
I have 3 sets (budget, forecast and actual) of sales and profit numbers and
would like to show them like a dashboard ( two small circles for Budget and Forecast and a bigger one underneath those two for Actual. All 3 circles with a hand point to the numbers linked to the source data ). Can anyone tell me how to make a start? Thanks and regards Nick |
Hi Nick,
Here are some examples of speedo type gauges. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Speedometer.html http://www.andypope.info/charts/gauge.htm Cheers Andy Nick Cheng wrote: I have 3 sets (budget, forecast and actual) of sales and profit numbers and would like to show them like a dashboard ( two small circles for Budget and Forecast and a bigger one underneath those two for Actual.

The exceluser.com website has a great how-to manual; ($45) on how to make
really effective dashboard reports. The manual covers how to make small - readable and updateable charts and tables on a single page, great for executive level reporting. I've used many of the techniques to improve my reports and have saved time developing better reports. Take a look at the site. It's amazing how you can develop 24 - 30 readable charts on a single page. http://www.exceluser.com/dash/startdash.htm "Nick Cheng" <Nick wrote in message ...
