This dashboard takes raw workforce and inventory data and automatically surfaces the metrics that matter no manual pivot tables or chart configuration needed.
What it includes:
KPI summary cards (Total Salary, Average Salary, Record Count) with period-over-period change indicators
A plain-English insights panel that surfaces the standout patterns in the data peak values, leading categories, and distribution shifts instead of leaving the reader to interpret raw numbers
A Reorder Level vs. Stock scatter plot to visualize the relationship between two variables at a glance
Time-series and categorical comparison charts (metric trends over time, comparison by employee ID) that respond to clicks for on-the-fly filtering
This is a budget tracking dashboard built entirely in Excel, designed to replace the typical cluttered "totals + pie charts" layout most budget templates default to.
Instead of static tables, the dashboard uses KPI cards (Total Planned, Total Actual, Variance, % of Budget Used) with sparkline trends, a Planned → Actual → Balance waterfall chart to show variance at a glance, and slicers that let the user filter by category or time period, with everything on the sheet updating live.
What it includes:
KPI summary cards with month-over-month sparklines
A waterfall-style variance chart replacing traditional bar/pie combinations
Category and period slicers connected to PivotTables for real interactivity, not just static charts
Conditional formatting on the variance table (over/under budget flagged automatically)
A plain-English insights panel summarizing what the numbers mean
A simple linear forecast projecting year-end spend based on current burn rate
Design approach: clean, minimal styling inspired by modern product dashboards (Linear, Notion) muted color palette, no gridlines, consistent typography built to look like a tool someone would actually want to open, not a default Excel export.
