Dashboards

A dashboard is a collection of views shown on a single sheet, where you can compare and monitor a variety of data simultaneously. For example, rather than flip through a set of views that you review every day, you can create a dashboard that displays them all at once. Creating a Dashboard Step 1 In a workbook that contains more than one worksheet, select Dashboard > New Dashboard. You can also right-click a worksheet tab at the bottom of the workbook and select New Dashboard. Step 2 On the Dashboard tab, select one of the worksheet names in the Dashboard window on the left side, and drag the worksheet onto the dashboard. A gray highlight appears as you drag the worksheet over the dashboard to show you locations where you can drop the worksheet. Step 3 Select a view in the Dashboard, then click the menu arrow in the upper right corner of the view, and select from the menu the items you want to show (titles, captions, legends, and filters). Step 4 To rearrange the dashboard, select the view you want to move, then click and drag the move handle at the top of the view to a new location, using the gray highlight as a guide. Setting the Dashboard Size When you create a dashboard to be viewed by others or published to the web, it is important to consider small screen sizes. You can specify a fixed or minimum dashboard size to ensure that everyone gets the same view of the dashboard. You set the size in the Page Setup dialog box.In the Size section at the bottom of the Dashboard window, click Edit to open the Page Setup dialog box.
