Data dashboards are probably one of the most common analytics tools used by companies and interestingly, they are not unlike your vehicle’s dashboard. Think about that for a minute. In your vehicle, you have a lot of important pieces of information directly in front of you that help you make decisions.
Most people who have worked in an organization have, at one time or another, come across a spreadsheet. Perhaps you have been the author or merely a recipient, but spreadsheets are still a fairly common way to share data, information, or charts. Whether you are a Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel person, it is important to consider how your spreadsheet is formatted. If a spreadsheet is being shared, the formatting should also consider what the focus of the content is and how to structure the information to best convey this message.
