66 Excel Dashboards to visualize Salary Survey Contest Results

About a month ago, we announced our brand new contest – Visualize Excel Salary survey data here.

We received 66 outstanding entries for this. More than 40 entries are truly world-class with innovative visualizations, interactive graphs & kick-ass number crunching. It took me quite a while to organize all these entries, collect screenshots and review them.

So how do we make sense of all these?

Since doing justice all this variety and creativity in one post is difficult, I am splitting this in to 4 entries.

  1. All 66 Dashboard entries & my comments [this post]
  2. How to create Box plots?
  3. How to make your dashboards interactive?
  4. Voting for contest winner

How to read this post?

This is a fairly large post. If you are reading this in email or news-reader, it may not look properly. Click here to read it on chandoo.org.

  1. Each entry is shown in a box with the contestant’s name on top. Entries are shown in alphabetical order of contestant’s name.
  2. You can see a snapshot of the entry and more thumbnails below.
  3. The thumb-nails are click-able. So that you can enlarge and see the details.
  4. You can download the contest entry workbook, see & play with the files.
  5. You can read my comments at the bottom. If I liked a particular entry, I have put a small “Chandoo’s pick” icon too.
  6. At the very bottom of this page, I have put a list of resources to help you learn most of the techniques used by our participants.

Thank you

Thank you very much for all the participants in this contest. I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring your work & learned a lot from them. I am sure you had fun creating these too.

So go ahead and enjoy the entries.

66 Responses to “Budget vs. Actual Charts – 14 Charting Ideas You can Use”

    • Linwe says:

      Hi there:

      I'm interested in understanding exactly how contestants #'s 1, 8 got their surplus or shortfall to show up at the top of the bar (is this overlapped or stacked somehow) and change colour?  I hope this makes sense.  I've tried to find samples and I can see contestant 8 (cuboo) may have used something called graphomate but I can't use this.  

      I need to create a bar chart that shows budget, and actual variance whether it be a surplus or a shortfall and I would like make it look like option 1 or 8 above but haven't  a clear idea how to do it...any help would be greatly appreciated!

      Regards..Linwe

  2. Jon Peltier says:

    #6 is the best here. Simple, no extraneous visual effects.

  3. Kevin Stanford says:

    I was all set to vote for #9...until I noticed its lack of y-axis labels. So I have to go with #6 also.

  4. I think #6,#9 is enough .

  5. Barfly says:

    #9 is my favorite
    Nice data/ink ratio 😉

  6. Tony Rose says:

    I agree with Jon - #6 for me.

  7. Gale says:

    8 & 14

  8. Fabrice says:

    I go for # 9 (simple) and #14 (complete)

  9. fulvioo says:

    I go for cuboo #8
    cheers

  10. Robert says:

    #6 for overview at a glance / top management
    #8 for deeper analysis / those who need more detailed information

  11. Bob Gannon says:

    #14 although I think you only need the bottom panel and I then would stack the Center charts vertically to make Center comparisons easier.

  12. Denise says:

    #10 gets my vote.
    If there is a second place, then #14

  13. Tin Seong KAM says:

    Hi, if I was not wrong, Samples 3,4 and 5 were created using Tableau software and not Excel. For more information on Tableau you might want to visit http://www.tableausoftware.com/. It was initially designed by Prof. Pat Hanrahan and his PhD students. I am not their salesperson but I thought someone might want to know more about this particular technology.

    • Linwe says:

      Hi Tin Seong Kam:
       
      Thanks - I have looked at Tableau before.  I have also found the means to reproduce something similar to chart 8 without using graphomate, and also chart 7.  I proposed chart 9  as well but the overlap is confusing to some.
      I am really not too concerned about showing actual budget figures but the variance in $ and % is important for my particular use.  That is why I gravitate to the charts that seem to easily tell us that we have a surplus or a shortfall.  
       
      Thanks!
      Linwe

  20. jram says:

    Number 8 by far. Even though it's not part of the data display, the comments feature sells me. Variance explanations are as important as the actual variances.

  21. Cyril Z. says:

    I visually prefer #8, but #3 is really easier to understand, even if it lacks a lot of information (inverting budget/actual), legend, etc...

  24. anyone willing to post their xls for these? Some really excellent exmaples.

  25. PublicSectorPlanner says:

    To avoid the summary execution of the person presenting these to an executive team these charts must handle overspending as well as underspending, be comprehensible in 5 seconds and show the key fact clearly. The key fact isn't budget or actual - it's the magnitude of the gap!

    Therefore:

    #14 for nailing the key fact and being able to handle overspending. The winner therefore.
    #6 for nailing speed-reading and being able to handle overspending, but somewhat obscuring the key fact. Second place.
    #8 for nailing information depth and aesthetics. Third place.

    I really wanted #8 to win, but that's the technician's view not the end-user's.

  30. Shazbot says:

    Does anyone know what type of chart #6 is (chart name?)? Also, how do I create this is Excel 2007?

  31. Hui... says:

    @Shazbot
    I'd call it a Column and Bar chart, but don't get hungup on names

    To make it try this:

    Setup the chart as a Clustered Column Chart
    Change the Series so there is 100% overlap, ie: One column is in front of the other
    Change the Budget series to a line chart
    Set the line color to none
    Set the marker style to a Flat Line
    Change the marker width to make it the same width as the bar
    Change colors and other chart properties to suit

    HI

    SO I really need your help.
    Thanks in advance

    p.s Sorry for my english ( i'm french)

  39. Hui... says:

    @OKI, Greg

    I have made a mockup of #7 and #10
    It is available at:
    http://chandoo.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/Bud-Act-visualizaion-challenge-7+10..xlsx

    #10 is a straight, Pivot Chart/Table but the data has been rearranged to get it into the pivot table

    #7 is 2 charts, being a simple Bar Chart and a Scatter Chart with 100% Error Bars
    I have used Named Formulas for the two charts.

    Hi Chandoo,
    Please can you provide a link of the excel sheet for 1. Chart "3 colors and everything is clear"

    I would like to drill into the spreadsheet and learn the secrets as how the chart was made.

    Many thanks,
    Sawan

  44. Hui... says:

    @Sawan
    It is probably 12 seperate charts, I will assume snapped to the underlying cells to ensure they are the same size
    The left 3 Charts have a vertical Axis
    The bottom 4 Charts have a horizontal Axis
    The remainder have no axis
    The remaining text maynot be part of the charts but is probably cell content

    • Chandoo says:

      @Satyapal... you can only use static images or slide animations in Power Point. Not features like pivot tables or drop downs. However, you can embed the entire workbook (or sheet) in a presentation. When clicked this will just open Excel so your users can play with the data.
