Designing dashboards in excel
I personally think if you want fancy dashboards like these, you're better off with PowerBI in a corporate setup. Learn how to make dashboards and metrics, DAX and powerquery. Once you know that, pay a few months (6$/M or so) for the pro to learn dataflows and datasets. If you make them for yourself: They look indeed good. And for personal stuff, i prefer Excel too above anything else 🤣 More on reddit.com

I'm new at making dashboards and would like feedback on how I have done
Looks good. I have to disagree with u/St_dude on the colors, though. Typically red = bad or stop. I rarely use red in any of by boards unless I am trying to call attention to a number because its bad. I would try for something a little more neutral. That is just my opinion, though. Here are my two biggest tips for dashboards. the 30 second rule - The reader should know what you are trying to convey in 30 seconds from looking at your board. The most important data goes in the top left (for those cultures that read from left to right). That is where the user is going to start so if there is one key metric you want shown put it in the top left. More on reddit.com

r/excel on Reddit: Creating interactive Excel dashboard that actually looks good??
February 2, 2020 -

Hello! I need to create a dashboard in Excel with interactive (filterable) charts for a current project of mine. Does anyone know a good resource/tutorial on how to build such a dashboard that doesn't have the typical old-fashioned Excel look?

I appreciate any good tip!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[UPDATE]

Thank you so much for all your valuable inputs. I spent a few hours looking at all the resources you suggested and some of them really helped me for my project! I thought it might be a great idea to summarise the top 3 resources from your suggestions (based on my impression) for everyone who has a look at this post in the future.

MY FAVOURITE 3 RESOURCES FROM YOUR SUGGESTIONS

#1 The Office Lab (Youtube Channel) | https://excelfind.com (associated Website)

This one has been mentioned a few times in this thread and it was probably the most complete solution for what I was looking for. On the Youtube Channel I found tutorials on two outstanding interactive dashboards that just blew my mind with their advanced design. Both tutorials are well-structured, easy to follow, and the final result is stunning. And the download of both dashboard files is free, so I downloaded them and with a few adjustments I think I will have a good solution for my project soon.

#2 https://chandoo.org (Website)

This one was also quite interesting. On there you can find a good collection of different dashboards. While the The Office Lab focuses more on Dashboards based on Pivot Charts with Slicers (perfect for flat transactional data like I have), the dashboards on Chandoo seem to be a good fit to more specific use cases. For my current project they weren’t the perfect fit, maybe a bit old-fashioned design, but I see the value and might use some insights from here in the future.

#3 MyOnlineTrainingHub (Youtube Channel) | https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com (associated Website)

Another good Youtube Channel for getting started with Excel dashboard. I found comprehensive tutorials for two different Excel dashboards. Even though the focus of the dashboards is less on ‘good-looking’, the tutorials still cover the end-to-end process quite well and the second dashboard might also be interesting for people who want to use Power Query and Power Pivot. So definitely something to take away from this one as well!

I hope this summary of your suggestions is helpful for everyone you who just got started with this topic like I did. Thanks for all the contributions in this thread that made me get a great solution for my project and allowed me to create that compressed overview for others.
