Excel 2013 Tips and Tricks for Displaying a Multidimensional Cube

Speaker: Thomas LeBlanc New features have been added to the past couple of Excel releases to bring the most widely used desktop reporting application to a full-featured business intelligence reporting tool for multidimensional cubes. This session will be filled with demonstration of all these new features, with slides only as reference to more detailed explanations and uses. Pivot tables will be the main focus of this 75-minute session with visual tools that enhance graphs and dashboards. You'll leave this session with your brain firing on all cylinders to create cool dashboards with color-enhanced backgrounds, to signal to users where they should focus their efforts. The new Timeline object makes you breathe a sigh of relief about report filtering by dates. Slicers will give you clues about what data is present. Indicators, data-driven formatting, and sparklines focus attention on what's important to the viewed data set.
