What is a Dashboard?
Jordan explains the difference between a Dashboard and a Decision Support System. A Dashboard is meant for monitoring and Decision Support Systems is meant more for supporting a decision that needs to be made. Mynda states that although her training is on Dashboards, the techniques that are learned are universal in the use of Excel. Rick thinks the distinction between a Dashboard and Other Reports is only critical for tools that aren’t as flexible as Excel. Everyone involved agreed that diving into building graphs should not be the first thing you do… instead you should focus on critical business decisions.

I thought it was pretty awesome to see other Excel users talking about OneNote. I have been using OneNote for years and I, too, use OneNote to help me organize and to drop odd thoughts about Excel.
