Mastering Excel Dashboards & Workbook Tabs

Turn Spreadsheet Data Into A Clear, Interactive Dashboard

Build confidence with Excel workbook tabs, reliable data, formulas, PivotTables, charts and slicers. Follow a fictional Namibian sales example from raw records to a dashboard you can explain and maintain.

What You Will Learn

• Organise a workbook into Data, Checks, Pivots, Dashboard and Read_Me tabs.
• Create an Excel Table and check data quality.
• Calculate revenue, cost, profit and useful KPIs.
• Build PivotTables and choose clear charts.
• Connect slicers and create filter-aware KPI cards.
• Test, refresh and document your final dashboard.

Format & Requirements

Eight practical lessons, an eight-question self-check and a final dashboard project across five modules. Allow approximately 6–10 hours including practice. This is a self-paced introductory course for learners with basic Excel navigation skills. You need access to Excel and a computer; an Excel licence is not included.

Desktop Excel is recommended. Commands and slicer features vary by edition, platform and version. Where a feature is unavailable, use the suggested simpler alternative. The dataset is supplied within the lesson, so no private business data is needed.

Your Final Project

Create a sales dashboard with revenue, profit and unit KPIs, two charts, town and product filters, and refresh instructions. Check your results against the supplied totals.
