Published by DataVero · Practical guide
Define decisions first
A useful dashboard begins with the decisions the viewer needs to make, not with the maximum number of charts.
Clean the underlying data
Standardise dates, categories, names and missing values before designing visualisations.
Use a clear KPI hierarchy
Place essential totals and trends first, then provide detail and filters for exploration.
Document and maintain
Record data sources, calculation rules, refresh steps and ownership so the dashboard remains reliable.
