Master Excel Dashboards in 60 Minutes: Transform Data into Actionable Insights
Imagine this: It’s 4:45 PM on a Friday. Your boss slaps a massive spreadsheet on your desk and says, “I need a summary of Q3 sales trends by Monday.” Panic sets in. You’re staring at rows of numbers, unsure where to start. What if you could turn that chaos into a sleek, interactive dashboard—with charts that update themselves—in under an hour?
