    Woohoo! This is going to be an awesome week, how exciting. I've just started making a new dashboard yesterday, this will give me the motivation to finish it by the end of the week! Anyway here are a couple of ones I have developed in the past. Probably my fav tip to share is to create a super fast dynamic range with index (free plug for Daniel Ferry's EHA). Use this in a named formula, so it can be used in a chart, and hey presto - no need to update the source data every month! 🙂

    Hi Chandoo
    I have posted a screen on a dashboard at http://cid-75f325168218cdd9.office.live.com/view.aspx/.Public/Dashboard%5E_prem.xlsx
    This is a stock market trading model which I built in 2005 using Excel 2003. I will rebuild all my models by applying the new techniques I have learnt from you and all the friends.

    There are 6 charts with price and volume indicators in different time frames. My trades are shown on the line chart (blue for buy and red for sell) over the 2 yr and 60-day horizon. My last 7 trades for the security is pulled from my trading details which record all trades. From a droplist, I can choose any of the securities in my favourite (some 60) or from my portfolio set ( some 350 securities which I have identified as trackable. The daily price update is save in a single file, which contains all the securities (some 1850). A data file extracts the chosen securities and my model brings in the price-volume data at the click of the mouse from a drop list.
    My target was to decide to buy or sell within 3 seconds and I have been doing this for quite long. The dashboard also computes statistical data, update the links to the company's website and registry, etc

    Hi Chandoo - Learning a lot about graphing from your site - someday when I have time I will take a class with you. In the meantime - I am looking for a bigger picture or a template of the chart you use in the headline for Dashboard Week (sorry I am late to the party by a few months). The graph with the pink to red to yellow to green to gray? Can you tell me which article that dashboard is referenced?
