About this file
A reference file for creating eye-catching visual effects in Excel — glossy rings, glowing KPI cards, and layered styling. The charts and text boxes are all linked to data in the workbook, and that data is structured to make it easier to swap in your own.
Good to know: this is built as a reference file to study and customize, not a drag-and-drop template. You connect your own data and adjust it to fit — that's the point. You learn exactly how it's made.
What's included
- A set of dashboard visual effects and styles
- Charts and text boxes linked to editable workbook data
- Data structured to make swapping in your own easier
How it works
Take the effects apart to see exactly how they're built, then update the linked data with your own. As with any design reference, expect to customize the layout so it fits your data.
Who it's for
Dashboard builders who want a bolder, more designed look and are comfortable adapting a reference file.
Excel compatibility
Designed for Microsoft Excel on Windows and Mac — Microsoft 365 or Excel 2021 recommended. Built for Excel, not Google Sheets.
