I've used a range of techniques to build the interactive Excel student performance dashboard below, which are covered in the video and there are links to further tutorials beyond. Building dashboards for student data requires different techniques to typical Excel dashboards because there is a lot of data to fit into a relatively small space. The introduction of dynamic array formulas make building this dashboard simple, but I also cover a non-dynamic array technique for those with Excel 2019 and earlier.

Hi Mynda! I am looking for assistance in creating a training tracking dashboard integrated with a skills matrix. The training returns will be through QR which also I have created. But i am unable to integrate them all together. Is it possible to assist?
