KPI Based MS Excel Dashboards - BIG Data Visualization

Microsoft Excel Dashboards, Scorecards or Executive Summaries translate strategy into accountability and measure the active progress of a company based on their Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s).

The Microsoft Power BI Dashboard has taken the Microsoft Excel Dashboard to a whole new level; Dashboards on steroids. Equal comparison, Access to SQL Server.

See how our international team of Microsoft Excel data scientists and data visualization experts use custom Excel Dashboards with slicers to deal with BIG data and provide meaningful KPIs.

Integrating & Automating the Microsoft Applications

One of the most common programming requests we receive is to use VBA/Macros, to integrate and to automate one or more of the Microsoft Office applications as well as the Microsoft Database applications.

The custom Smarter Solution experts create true point-n-click Microsoft applications, push button simplicity, allowing for automation and integration for all applications in the Microsoft Office Suite.

Visual Basic for Applications is the language that the Microsoft Office and database applications use to speak, that along with SQL.

Those languages allow one application to control all of the other applications, all with a single click of a mouse on a button on an Excel worksheet or Access form.

Point, click,  the work is done. So simple.

To get the biggest bang for your buck, invest in the integration and automation of your Microsoft applications.  The automation allows the computer to do the work that your employees used to do manually.  Then your employees can do more important work, work that impacts the bottom line.

Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Azure, Power BI

One size databases do not fit all. Get the right Microsoft database for how you run your operations. Don’t spend more to upgrade until you need to.

From Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Azure to Microsoft Power BI (Power Pivot, Power Query, Power View, Power Map), we custom develop Microsoft database solutions that match your needs; everything you need, nothing you do not.

• Microsoft Excel is not a database.
• Microsoft Power BI is a relational database.
• Microsoft’s Access database is small and scale-able.
• Microsoft SQL Server comes in several versions, one perfect for your group.
• Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s Cloud Based database.
• Integrate the various Microsoft databases with other Microsoft databases; you are not restricted to using just one, use them all if needed.  Each has its own function.

To get the most out of your Microsoft databases make sure to take the time to “Integrate and Automate” them with any and all of the applications in the Microsoft Office Suite, Mac included.

Every Year Since 1994

Microsoft Certification matters.  To get the best results on your project, hire a firm that has long been one or more of the following, the longer the certification the more solid the firm:

1. Microsoft Certified Partner
2. Microsoft Certified Application Developer
3. Microsoft Excel MVP
4. Microsoft Access MVP
6. To earn the title Microsoft Certified Partner, firms must meet strict standards and demonstrate their value to both their clientele and the Microsoft community.

Microsoft has hired our firm several times now to assist them with their internal use of Microsoft Power BI as well as Microsoft Excel.

We Can Fix The Problems With Your Code

90% of all Microsoft Excel workbooks contain errors. 85% of workbooks are inefficient and slow. The majority of workbooks are not properly built, far from automated and definitely not integrated with the other Microsoft applications via vba/macros.

We can resolve those errors.  We can also rewrite your code, making the workbooks, databases and Microsoft desktop productivity tools more efficient.

Lifetime bug-free guarantee.  If you find a bug or error in the solution we provided, we will fix that free of charge, and we will do so in a timely manner to get you back up and running again.
