Dashboard

From a simple excel dashboard to a fully integrated enterprise reporting suite, the Business Dashboard is being quickly adopted as the new face of Business Intelligence. It has a rapidly growing role in BI reporting and analysis.

An enterprise dashboard allows at-a-glance visualization of company health and monitoring of key performance indicators. Simple to understand and high in ROI, these executive dashboards are becoming "must-haves" for all enterprises. Easy-to-use by business users and fun-to-implement by the IT department, BI dashboard projects are quickly funded and politically popular.

Excel 2007 Executive Dashboard with new excel cube functions and sparklines

Excel Dashboard Update: This short video shows you MicroCharts for Excel and Microsoft BI in action.

Dear Dashboard Spy: Here’s our latest dashboard using sparkline charts. We created an Excel 2007 based dashboard and a PivotTable for KPI Analysis. The first screenshot shows you a management dashboard for the Microsoft BI sample database Adventure Works. Bullet graphs and sparklines are created with MicroCharts formulas. The disjoint blocks of figures are done with the new Excel Cube formulas.

The second screenshot shows you a Excel Pivot Table for KPI analysis. The sparklines and bullet graphs enrich the KPIs, allowing you to see trends and patterns. The small graphs are done with the MicroCharts server extension. MicroCharts are calculated as strings within SQL Server and rendered as high quality TrueType fonts with the PivotTable or Reporting Services.

Note that if you are stuck with a prior version of Microsoft Office, XLCubed (http://xlcubed.com) is an extremely powerful (and relatively cheap) Excel add-in that provides both formula and grid access to Microsoft Analysis Services cubes. It also happens to work really well with MicroCharts - I had my company purchase licenses for both… As a side note, the possibilities offered by XLCubed grids are superior to those offered by Excel 2007 pivot tables, but that’s another story.
