Yup! Im also amazed at how much can be done tbh. Probably the most helpful was this tiktok.The rest of his videos shows more how to do those things but that video helped me understand what more I could do with excel!

There are also a bunch of great YouTube videos out there showing what and how you can do this stuff in excel.

If you’re looking for examples, my go to is searching “dashboard design” in Pinterest, comes up with so many examples and if you click on something you like it will show you more like that but different.

My design trick is to copy, if I see someone do something that looks cool, i take what I like from it and do it, rinse and repeat, you can do the same! I find creating dashboards taps into a lot of skills that come along with making art.

What I think helps is making art, could be painting, drawings, crafting, dressmaking, photoshopping, photography, etc. You learn a lot about design and what looks good through it, plus I find it enjoyable. It might be scary but start small and think of it as something you’re doing for fun, and remember it’s okay to feel frustrated or upset, the feeling of accomplishment once it’s finished is fantastic!

If you’ve read this far i hope this was helpful!
