Win an Apple iPhone or S. Few Book – Excel Dashboard Competition
During the months of April and May 2008, BonaVista Systems is running an Excel Dashboard competition. I have said before that their MicroCharts product is exceptional for dashboard design and improving presentations or Excel analytics. The new version (3) has a lot of great new features, which can be found here.
MicroCharts is the first software, to my knowledge, that has a solution for creating Sparklines in Excel without having to finagle using the old camera feature. MicroCharts is easy to use and truly a great product. For under $200, you can get this add-on for Excel. You can download MicroCharts and try it for free for 30 days.
For the last few days, I have seen many of the blogs that I read promote this competition. I have been hesitant to follow suit because of redundancy, but also believe that it would be a shame for my readers to miss out on this event.
Winners of the competition will receive:
-
1st Place – iPhone
-
2nd Place – A Stephen Few data visualization workshop
-
3rd Place – Stephen Few’s book – Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data
