Summary
In this chapter, we have applied some of the elements you can use to create your dashboard. You are now familiar with how to use mockups and layouts to set the stage for your dashboard. You learned how to use shapes and cards to project the key indicators in your dashboard. Apart from shapes, we covered how you can create sparklines, which are in-cell charts that can be used when you have limited space to present your visual.
The chapter also discussed the use of conditional formatting to apply icons to your values. We also covered some creative ways to enhance regular charts such as doughnut and area charts and how you can add slicers to add some interaction to your dashboard.
These concepts will give you a good foundation to build more complex dashboards. In the next chapter, we will add some color to what we have built so far.
