Bespoke Excel Dashboards & Models

Spreadsheets are an invaluable resource for a company. They are an effective tool for processing and handling the vast quantities of data that is available to your business. By using a well designed spreadsheet, you can make sure that you have just what you need for your business. 

Spreadsheet Analytics specialises in creating bespoke spreadsheet models for all types of clients. Whether you are a sole trader, run a small business or a large organisation, we are here to provide the right model for you. 

There are two keys to getting useful data from a spreadsheet. After all, not all data is equally useful in all situations, and what two businesses require might be subtly or significantly different. The first key is ensuring that the excel spreadsheet design is right for your business. This means a bespoke model that meets your requirements. It needs to collect the right data and perform the correct functions to ensure that what you get at the end is beneficial to your company. At Spreadsheet Analytics, we take the time to make sure we understand your business needs. This allows us to build what you need, not just nearly what you need. By careful design and planning, we can ensure your get the right data to make informed, rational business decisions.

The second key is making sure that the finished product is accessible. Not everyone finds reading data easy, and a stream of raw data could be as confusing as reading an unknown language. This requires a well-designed Excel dashboard. The dashboard in Excel is what you might think of as being the user interface. It is how your information is presented to you. The format will depend on your purpose, so as with the design of the sheet and its operations, there is no one-size-fits all model. For example, the dashboard could be configured to show you a trend analysis. Perhaps you want to see patterns in sales or in production rates. Alternatively, you might want an Excel KPI dashboard which shows you the key performance indicators of your business, giving you an easy to read snapshot of areas of success and areas to develop. 

One popular use of spreadsheets in business is for forecasting models. One of the hardest things in business is making forward projections upon which you can base decisions now with a view to how it will affect your company in the future. A good decision could spell success, but a bad decision could spell disaster. Forecasting models in Excel are an ideal way of making sure that your choices are based, not just on your experience or a ‘hunch’, but supportable data which you can use to support your case.
