DESCRIPTION
In this informative webcast, Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA, introduces you to the concept of Microsoft Excel dashboards. Dashboards offer valuable techniques that will allow you to assimilate large amounts of data quickly and easily by way of charts and summary tables.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Office 365 version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) 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.
