We've now built this great dashboard. We can refresh it and see the latest numbers at will. Rarely are we the only users of our dashboard. We've built this dashboard to support the organization, and we've built it in a way that is easy to use and understand. Now we have to figure out how to make it available to more users. There are a number of options available. We will explore the various options, but some of them can be quite complex, so we won't go into them in detail. In the real world, if you've got a great dashboard and it makes the controller and/or the CFO happy, you'll get the resources to get it deployed.
Some common options for sharing an Excel-based dashboard include:
E-mail
Network sharing
Hosting via OneDrive
Downloading via OneDrive
Downloading via SharePoint
Hosting via SharePoint Office 365 services
Microsoft Power BI
We will briefly look at each of these.
