The dashboard was made using Excel 2003 and I wanted to avoid add-ins, just to make sure every user replicate it with an out-of-the-box installation.

Nice work on the dashboard, but why are your line graphs not really sparklines? I know Office 2010 will have a new sparkline tool, but isn’t a sparkline just a small line chart?

JJ: The VBA-free version excludes the use of macros. You must manually hit “refresh” to refresh the pivot table. Everything else is updated using formulas, specially the GETPIVOTDATA() function.

An excellent file that has given me a handful of new ideas. Am already familiar with pivot – access database setup, and wanted to see how to go about a multi-funtional document for a varied group of customers. I may have a couple of Qs as I get into my own design. Thanks
