I usually solve that problem by selecting the field and turn on the “Show items with no data” option. This way the table structure is kept and you can easily handle the missing data. Thanks Sam.

Just finished the dashboard tutorial and cant wait to get into creating my own for our data. I have searched for a long time for a good quality tutorial that covers all the essential functions for creating reports and reporting tools. This is the most amazing tool for learning advanced Excel I have come across and is also a shining example of Excel best practices. I wish I had this years ago. You have a great understanding of how to communicate and teach complex information easily and clearly. Thank you. T Hi Jorge,

The Demographic Dashboard uses the Access ODBC, but the process should be similar. After you get your data into Excel you can use the usual Excel formulas to create your dashboard.

The three demographic dashboards exemplify how to get the data (connecting to an external data source or creating a spreadsheet table), how to go from there to the chart data sources and how to create the interactive user interface. You can use the demographic dashboard to see how these techniques can be used to work together. Your dashboards will surely be very different, but you can use similar techniques. For example, I've been creating employee performance dashboards for several years and they typically use very different sources but don't need frequent updates (monthly or quarterly basis), while sales would need a single data source but may need daily updates. In the first case, I usually use spreadsheet tables, and in the second case I connect a pivot table to the Oracle database. @Pooja: I believe that an Excel dashboard is defined by the way it handles the data, and not by the data itself.
