Production Costing & Profit Dashboard (Google Sheets)
I designed an automated production costing system using Google Sheets to help small manufacturing businesses track their true production costs and profitability.
The dashboard centralizes ingredient costs, labour, packaging, delivery, and selling price into one system that automatically calculates batch cost, cost per bottle, revenue, and profit.
It includes a packaging cost calculator, batch production tracker, automated profit calculations, and a performance dashboard with visual charts to monitor weekly production and profitability.

Many HR teams still manage tasks using scattered spreadsheets or manual tracking.
So I built a simple solution:
An HR Operations Monitoring Dashboard in Excel
This dashboard helps HR teams track:
• Daily HR tasks
• Recruitment progress
• GA & Legal activities
• Team performance overview
• Task status (Completed, Pending, In Progress)
Everything in one organized Excel dashboard.
It’s simple, practical, and does not require expensive HR software.
If you're an HR Manager, HR Team, or a startup, this might help you streamline your HR operations.

Replacing scattered spreadsheets with one structured Excel dashboard is exactly what HR teams need — having task status, recruitment progress and division-wise performance all in one place eliminates the daily manual chasing. Really practical solution!
Most people think a spreadsheet and a dashboard are the same thing.
They're not.
A spreadsheet is where data lives.
A dashboard is where decisions happen.
The difference:
Spreadsheet → raw, editable, flexible, built for input
Dashboard → structured, visual, built for reading and decisions
The mistake I see most often:
People try to do both in the same sheet.
The result?
Decision makers see too much raw data
Numbers get accidentally edited
No one knows what to trust
The fix is simple:
Keep your data layer and your presentation layer separate.
Raw data in one sheet. Dashboard in another.
One is for building. One is for reading.
When you separate them, updates become clean, mistakes become rare, and your reports actually get used.
A spreadsheet stores your data.
A dashboard tells its story.
