Items related to Dashboarding with SAP Crystal Dashboard Design
Based on Microsoft Office Excel, SAP Crystal Dashboard software (aka, Xcelsius) allows you to convert your existing spreadsheets into exciting, visually interactive dashboards. Information in Excel is brought to life with dynamic graphs that allow the user to customize and visualize data in real time. While spreadsheet data is static and needs to be updated using cut-and-paste, dashboards automatically query databases or reports for the most current data.
This book by Report Writing Services, designed as a 3-day training course, is perfect for self-study or an instructor-led classroom setting. The student learns by building dashboards (not by reading theory) and is exposed to a comprehensive collection of dashboard components, a wide range of design concepts, and practical spreadsheet programming techniques. Breadth of knowledge is emphasized over repetitious exercises, while dashboard standards and best practices are taught throughout the course.
The book consists of nine chapters in an easy to follow step-by-step format. All instructions are accompanied by detailed color illustrations that help the student create the dashboards quickly and easily. A new and increasingly challenging dashboard, which introduces and teaches new concepts, is built in each chapter. Student files, provided by the author, include a rich set of pre-constructed and mid-construction dashboards.
The chapters are knit together by an entertaining story about the fictional company, Candy Cane Enterprises. Protagonists Annie Heartland and Abel Goodman struggle to overcome corporate politics to build dashboards that reveal the hidden truth about the company’s finances, sales, production, client relations, and human resources. While learning to create dashboards, the student is carried on a journey from the skyscrapers of New York City to the islands of the South Pacific and the hills of Montana. Complete with cartoon images, intrigue, and a little romance, the story provides context and meaning to the tasks the student must perform.
