Power of Excel in measuring and monitoring performance July 3, 2009

This book gave me confidence in using excel to plan, develop and rollout enterprise-wide dashboards using excel features. I no longer have to wait for expensive/resource-consuming enterprise wide BI tool applications.
I recommend this book to anyone who want to be self sufficient in bulding dashboards...it works.
Thanks Ron for good job.

There are two good reasons to buy this book.
1. Ron Person provides an excellent overview of balanced scorecards and operational dashboards. For me, the insights and recomendations have given me a start towards developing them for my sales execution team.
2. The portion of the book devoted to Excel is superb. Even if you never build a dashboard the spreadsheet examples, the tips, and the techniques are among the best and most practical that I've seen. I've already used this material for a variety of other projects. Kudos to Person for this highly accessible work.

Ron Person has created a great book on this very timely topic for business people who need to get a handle on their business intelligence and analytics. Using Excel for this is a nice approach, one that I was able to manage quickly with the advice and information in this very well-written book. Thanks for the help!
Ron Person hits a home run with this practical guide to dashboards March 10, 2009

I've been a big fan of Tufte and Few over the years. Today. most dashboards being created in business are gaudy, 3D, visually distracting junk. In this book, Ron takes you through the process of creating practical, useful, cost-effective dashboards using the most ubiquitous analysis tool available today: Microsoft Excel.
Ron provides a strong theoretical foundation in the first part of the book with his excellent summary of Balanced Scorecards. In the second part of the book, he describes how to create metrics for your business. In the third part, he provides practical examples of how to build dashboards in Excel. He has a clear command of Excel and includes numerous samples and lots of formulas for creating useful dashboards. I found Chapter 26 to be especially useful because he describes MicroCharts from BonaVista Systems. This software add-in allows you to create Tufte's sparklines and Few's bullet graphs. This makes creating powerful dashboards in Excel easy.
Ron hits a home run with this book. The only criticism I have is that he promotes his consulting business a little hard. In his defense, a lot of what he describes in the book is hard to build into the culture of an organization without external guidance. That said, I strongly recommend this book.
