You May Already Have The Skills Needed To Build Amazing Excel Dashboards
Whether you're new to Excel or have
been using it 'forever' like me, I'm guessing that in the past few
years you've been seeing and hearing people (including me) talk
about new tools such as Dashboards, Power Pivot, Power Query and
Power BI. You may even have heard claims that these tools can give
you 'superpowers' in Excel.As more and more businesses and employers discover the incredible value that these tools bring to Excel, there is more and more demand for employees that are skilled in using these tools.
Maybe you've been intimidated by the techy-sounding names, thinking they may be too complex for you to learn.
Maybe you haven't checked them out yet, so you really don't know what they could do to help you in your day-to-day job.
Imagine designing reports that are super-easy to update no matter how much data you have but yet provide concise, easy-to-understand reports that most employers desire.
Imagine what that could do for your career!
Believe it or not, many of the skills needed to build these amazing dashboards, to tap into the power of Power Pivot & Power Query you may already have if you have a decent working knowledge of Excel.
Have you ever felt like...
"My Excel reports take way too long to update each month/week"
"I spend hours collating and cleaning data, updating formulas and charts and then no one reads my reports anyway, so what's the point?"
"If I could just impress the boss, I'd get that pay rise or promotion I deserve"
"I need to get my Excel skills up to date so I can stand out from the crowd of other job applicants"
"I'm not sure how to approach setting up my Excel workbook the right way, so it's easy to build and maintain"
If any of these thoughts have crossed you mind lately, then you're in for a treat because today I'm excited to tell you about Microsoft Excel MVP, Mynda Treacy's, highly acclaimed Excel Dashboard course (already taken by more than 1,200 of my Excel Addict subscribers) is opening for registration this week.
If you register for her course by Feb 13 you'll save 20% off the regular price.

Free Excel Dashboard Webinars
If you're not sure what a dashboard is, or how these skills might be relevant to you, and help you overcome the challenges above, then you can attend one or both of Mynda's FREE Excel Dashboard Webinars.
Webinar 1 - Excel Dashboard for Excel 2007/2010/2013/2016/2019/Office 365
The first webinar will teach you how to use Excel to build this interactive dashboard below, no additional software or add-ins required, just plain old Excel and some data.
Click here to register for webinar 1.
Webinar 2 - Excel Dashboard for Excel 2010/2013/2016/2019/Office 365 using Power Query and Power Pivot
Excel is evolving; in the last couple of years Microsoft have added new tools like Power Query and Power Pivot, to name a couple.
Embracing these new tools will not only enable you to get your work done more quickly, but also since less than 1% of Excel users know these tools you're going to have a huge competitive edge in the workplace.
It's easy to ignore these developments and continue doing things the way you always have, but that won't get you ahead in your career, but you know that right?
If you have Excel 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 or Office 365* then this webinar will showcase how you can use Excel's Power Query tool to get data from multiple sources, mash it up with Power Pivot, analyse it in PivotTables to create this interactive Excel Dashboard.
>
*Power Query is available with all versions of Excel 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and Office 365. Power Pivot is available with the desktop version of Excel 2010 and Excel 2013/2016 Office Professional, Office 2019, Office 365, or in the standalone versions of Excel 2013/2016. Power Query and Power Pivot are not available for Mac.

What people are saying about the webinars
Over 35,000 people have attended Mynda's Excel Dashboard webinars and this is what some of them had to say:
"Thank you! This webinar has already saved tremendous time and effort. I tried some of the techniques you illustrated for a cumbersome report update that I can see will cut our preparation time by 2/3's or more. ....awesome! Many thanks!!!!" Cynthia Tashjian
"WOW, just WOW Can't type more now - am trying to create a dashboard. Thank you Mynda!" Susan
"The webinar was fantastic! I really enjoyed every moment. As you said, it was fast paced, but I am so excited to go back and review the presentation. We have been trying to get a dashboard started for my department and this really motivated me to take the lead. Thank you so much!" Kathryn Puskar
"Oh. My. God. I know nothing! My jaw dropped a couple of times as you casually mentioned a way to manipulate PivotTable data. That's the problem with being largely self-taught - there are huge gaps in my knowledge." Ann
"I presented my first dashboard to the CEO yesterday and he was ecstatic. Since we are downsizing I was very worried about my job, but after seeing his reaction...I understand that my job is secure (for now). Thanks!" Iris Stein
Dashboard Course Format
If you've seen Mynda's free Dashboard Webinars and you're ready to take your dashboard skills to the next level then check out Mynda's Online Excel Dashboard course.
It will teach you how to build amazing interactive dashboards that impress your boss, get you noticed and help you stand out from the crowd, like this incredible le Tour de France dashboard she made, which is also included in the course:
>
The best part, aside from the praise from your boss and colleagues ;-), is you'll also learn loads of tips you can use in your everyday Excel work to get things done more efficiently.
What to Expect in the course:
- The course is video based and available online 24/7
- It comes with comprehensive Excel workbooks complete with notes
- 5 example Excel dashboards to keep
- There's also an option to download the videos,
- Plus Mynda personally provides support for the first 6 weeks of the 12 month membership.
By the way, the 6 weeks of personal support is the reason the course is only open for a limited time (registration closes Feb 20). Mynda limits the number of classes to allow time for other projects and a break every now and again. That's not to say she won't support you after the first 6 weeks, it's just that it might take her a few days or a week to reply to you if she's out of town or busy working on another course etc.
Dashboards are an incredibly valuable tool in today's market for consultants, analysts and managers. And when you know the tricks it can be straightforward to build highly professional and interactive Excel dashboards. That's why this type of training is so worthwhile.
What members are saying about the course:
The previous classes have been a huge hit with many people saying how they love the cool techniques and how they've been able to impress their colleagues and clients by using them in all sorts of reports, not just dashboards.
"An excellent course, Mynda. You have the gift of making the complex simple to understand. I thoroughly enjoyed your teaching. I have applied nearly everything taught. Thank you" Charlie.
"This was my first online training course and I was a bit dubious about how much I was going to learn. I have to say, minute for minute I have learnt more on this course than any other course I have been on. The way the course is delivered is exceptional and the learning material and exercises really cement the learning. This course has without a doubt furthered my career and has allowed me to secure a permanent job based on the skills I have acquired from this course. I have already signed up to another course! Thanks" Ryan Cunningham
I highly recommend the course, but don't take my word for it. You can read further comments from past students and find out more here.
Bonus 20% Off
If you register by Thursday, Feb 13 it's 20% off.
So, do yourself a favour and check out the course. The price is incredibly fair, the course is awesome and it'll transform your Excel reports and possibly even your Excel career.
