 Great head start December 14, 2008

I purchased this book because I was called on to train someone ELSE how to do this, and the idea of dashboards intrigued me. It helped me quite a bit. I would definitely recommend this to someone who needs to get the basics quickly and easily. You do need to be familiar with Excel, but that really ought to be a given. Solid purchase.
 Great book April 8, 2008

This is a great book to have as a resource for not only some of the new features of Excel 2007, but also as a primer to what a data warehouse is and what it means to build one. Of course, the latter is something that can be learned in depth in many other texts, but for a user of Excel, it makes for a good launching point to other more complex concepts of data warehouses and BI (Business Intelligence).
There are many great examples that can simply make spreadsheets look and work better regardless of whether you are building a dashboard or not.
