How is this Dashboard Made? – An Overview:
Alberto put together an excellent dashboard to visualize hospital performance and understand what is going on.
Here is what I like about the dashboard:
- Clear title and ability to select which half-year you want to analyze.
- Subtle colors for non-data elements of the dashboard
- Alerts to highlight focus areas
- Clear and simple to read dashboard. Once you understand how to read the first line, you know how to read the rest.
- Sparklines, Conditional Formatting.
What can be improved in this dashboard?
- Formulas: Alberto used IF formulas to fetch the values for each half-year (semestre). Instead using INDEX or OFFSET would make his job simpler.
- Hardcoded targets: The target values for each metric are hard-coded. Instead, they should be put in a separate table, just like actual data.
- Solid Fill bars: Instead of using gradient fill data bars, it is better to use solid fill bars thru in-cell charts.

I have made a short video to explain this dashboard to you. Watch it to understand how this dashboard is made and how you can use similar techniques.

This is nice layout and format, I can see how management would be able to get a lot of information from this, especially with the alerts for focus areas, the use of alerts seem key to the data within this Dashboard and that is what management want to see, what areas need focus right now ( so enables quicker decision making and less analysing data ). Well done Alberto.
thanks you Alberto
Where can I setup or see the "goals" for each topic on this spreadsheet?
