Welcome to Week 6. It's the final week of the course and the final week of the whole specialization. What an amazing journey it has been, and this week we are bringing it all together. Alex has been called in to create a dashboard for a call center. The center is currently not delivering on all their targets, but they don't have a good handle on their data to find out what's going wrong. Alex is going to help them set up a dashboard so they can view their key business metrics at a glance. It is one thing to input and calculate data in Excel, It is quite another to communicate the story our data tells us. Excel has a broad range of options to summarize and visualize data. Dashboards in Excel visualize reports, show trends, and summarize through charts, graphs, and trend lines, and even provide interactive solutions for data models. A picture speaks a thousand words, and that's certainly true for dashboards. Companies rely on these powerful visualizations of their business intelligence everyday, so you will definitely will want to add this skill to your portfolio. The call center has given Alex the raw output from their data backend. Alex will have his work cut out to prepare the data and set up the work book for the dashboard. He also wants to make sure that the team at the call center can continue to use the dashboard when the data gets updated. So quite a bit of thought will have to go into how to set up the workbook and the calculations so that the dashboard will update dynamically. Finally and importantly, Alex will have to ensure that the dashboard is designed to actually provide the right answer to the questions the company has about the call center's performance. In this final week we will develop a professional dashboard with Alex. In the process you will learn how to prepare your data and set up dynamic calculations that feed into your dashboard, develop the right design for your dashboard, choose and set up the best visual elements. And finally add interactivity to your dashboard. This is our final week, and we couldn't be more proud of how much you've achieved throughout the course and the whole specialization. So make sure you get the most out of this exciting week and build a fantastic dashboard together with Alex. Once you have worked through the practice videos and quizzes, it is time to try out your new skills in the practice challenge. Don't forget to work through the toolbox, and then you are ready for this weeks final assignment. Now, let's sit down with Nikki one last time and talk about dashboards in more depth. [SOUND]
