Nothing gives a teacher more satisfaction than seeing a student apply the knowledge to do something awesome. So naturally, I jumped with joy when I got this email from Dan, one of my VBA Class students,

Hi Chandoo,

After going thru your VBA Classes, I realized that we can lots of awesome stuff with pivot tables + simple macros. I recently created an Excel Dashboard to depict MLB (Major League Baseball) Pitching Stats. I could not have done this had I not learned VBA. Thank you so much for teaching the class.

I got curious and requested Dan, if I could share the file with you all. Being a lovely person, Dan agreed immediately.

How does this dashboard work?

Dan used a lot of techniques to weave together this dashboard. Since it would take me until Christmas if I explain everything, I made a short video explaining how this dashboard works. See it below:

You can see it on our youtube channel too.

What techniques are used in this dashboard?

Dan is a regular reader of Chandoo.org, so he used many of the charting & formula techniques we teach here (as well as in my Excel School & VBA classes). Click thru below links to learn them.

    Thanks guys.

    Some nice ideas in there, thanks for sharing. I noticed the list with teams has a missing value though ('Arizona Diamondbacks'). Also when manipulating Pivot Tables with VBA you should be really careful not to try to select a value that isn't in the Pivot Table, if you do all hell breaks loose 🙂 That's not the case here but just some advise as I learned the hard way...

  5. dan l says:

    Ah.....ya caught me.

    dnrTeamName drives both the charts and the drop down list. It refers to:

    =OFFSET(PvtTeams!$A$6,0,0,COUNTA(PvtTeams!$A$6:$A$40),1)

    If you change A6 to A5, it fixes that little issue.

    A better question though, who actually cares about the Arizona Diamondbacks?

    🙂
