What makes these work
Scroll back through the grid and the pattern is the same every time. The dashboards that read as "designed" share a few design principles: a clear focal point, restrained color with one accent doing the work, consistent spacing and alignment, and charts chosen to show the comparison fastest. None of it requires a BI tool — it's all native Excel design.
If your own files look more like a spreadsheet than a product, start with making Excel look less like Excel, study the longer-form dashboard examples, or grab a ready-made layout from the template library. Want a redesign? Hire Josh to rebuild your dashboards.
