Why Dashboards (and why now)
Dashboards aren’t “pretty charts.” They’re how you communicate decisions—fast.
Your Excel reports taking too long
If you’re spending hours every week:
📌cleaning data
📌updating the same charts
📌rebuilding monthly reports
📌explaining numbers again and again…
…then dashboards are the skill that makes you faster, clearer, and more valuable.
In this course, you’ll learn a simple, repeatable workflow:
prepare the data 👉 analyze it 👉 build interactive visuals 👉 deliver a polished dashboard.
The “Before & After”
Before:
You’re stuck in manual reporting—copy/paste, reformatting, rebuilding charts, fixing broken links, and dreading month-end.
After:
You can build dashboards that update quickly, look professional, and let users explore results with filters, slicers, and interactive controls.
The Big Promise
When you can build dashboards in Excel, you stop being the person who “updates the spreadsheet”…
…and become the person who delivers insights.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
✅ Turn raw data into dashboard-ready tables
✅ Choose the right chart types for KPI storytelling
✅ Build interactive dashboards with pivots/slicers and form controls
✅ Create “pro” dashboard components (dynamic charts, heatmaps, rankings, in-cell visuals)
✅ Deliver real dashboard projects you can show at work (and reuse as templates)
What you’ll build in this course
You’ll build multiple dashboards step-by-step, including:

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
-
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
-
Do I need to have Excel experience to start?
You don’t need any prior business or technical knowledge. All you need is a computer with Excel and some familiarity with Excel.
If you’re completely new to Excel, this may be too advanced, as we focus specifically on VBA and automation techniques.
-
What version of Excel do I need?
I recommend Excel 2016 or newer, or a Microsoft 365 subscription for full compatibility with the features used in this course. However, the course content will still work with older versions of Excel, as the fundamentals of VBA have not changed significantly since earlier versions.
-
Do you support Excel for Mac?
If you use Mac Excel, this course may not be ideal for you, as it was filmed using Windows Excel. The interface and shortcuts are sometimes different on a Mac.
-
Can I download the Excel files used in the course?
Yes! You will be able to download all the files I use throughout the course. This makes it easy to follow along and test the code.
-
How do I ask questions and get support?
Each video lecture page has a comments section at the bottom. You can use this section to ask questions and see what questions other students have. I will be there helping to answer your questions.
-
What if I am unhappy with the course?
I would never want you to be unhappy! If you enroll in the course and decide it’s not right for you, contact me within 30 days for a full refund.
My goal is to make sure you’re excited about learning and getting the help you need to master Excel VBA.
Hi, I'm Andreas Exadaktylos
Is this course right for me? Yes, this course is a fit if:
-
You’re new to dashboards and want a guided “blank canvas → finished dashboard” path
-
You already use charts/pivots but want interactive dashboards and better design/process
-
You want dashboards you can use at work (with templates + real projects)
