In this video you'll build a personal finance budget dashboard from scratch using pivot tables to make it dynamic.
First, you'll learn to input transactions either as an expense or income. Then, using pivot tables and conditional formatting, you'll create databars tracking your budget vs your actual expenses by categories such as transport, groceries, leisure etc.
Thirdly, you'll learn to create dynamic charts with pivot tables such as a column chart and a bar chart.
Lastly, we'll insert slicers to make the dashboard interactive such that you can change the months you want to see.

    Great content. As I've just started to dig in to pivot tables and slicers. The only thing that I would of changed is doing just one slicer for both actual and budget, would save a bit of a confusion. And possibly combine the two bar graphs so the actual and planned bars are next to each other to get a better visual comparison. Love the content, as it gives me a chance to improve my skills as well. Thank you for the videos.

    What am I doing wrong? I reach the step where I am assigning the Rent category on the dashboard to the total on the RentA pivot table. However, when I type "=" and then assign the total column from the pivot table as shown in the video, it assigns the value as Cell G4 from the pivot table, rather than as the GETPIVOTDATA formula that auto populates when done in the video. As a result, my slicers don't work since, once sliced, the data I need is no longer in Cell G4. I can type in the formulas manually to make it work, but that seems tedious.

  • @twitchyfingerss

    Жыл бұрын

    You should be able to do this by loading the Actuals and Budget tables to the excel data model. Create a third table called "Calendar" with a single column containing 12 values; Jan-Dec. load the 3 tables to data model: curser inside Actuals > Data > Get Data > from table/range. repeat for budget and calendar. In Excel Data Model, make a relationship between Calendar and Budget, Calendar and Actuals. Back on the dashboard, insert slicer, use the Calendar table. create pivot tables just like in the video but use the excel data model, not the tables themselves. All pivot tables created from excel data model will update whether they contain budget or actuals.
