Been using AI to generate dashboard summaries and insights text. It helps a lot for reports that need quick explanations.
Sometimes I just use AI to brainstorm how to layout the dashboard. Gives me fresh ideas I wouldn’t think of.
The AI support in Excel 365 is getting better, anyone here using it to create dashboards?
I started using this AI plugin that suggests charts based on the data you highlight. It saves me tons of time and makes my dashboards look more professional.
I tried a couple of AI add-ins but found them buggy or limited in their free versions. Probably need to pay up for the good stuff.
I mostly use Excel’s own templates combined with AI to speed up data prep before creating dashboards. That combo works for me.
Honestly, AI tools can help with suggestions but you still gotta customize a lot manually. There’s no magic button yet, lol.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools if you wanna keep up with the latest stuff in this area.
Anyone here automate dashboard updates with AI? I’m curious how folks handle real-time or frequent data refreshes.
Anyone using GPT-based tools to generate Excel formulas or dashboard elements? The AI seems to get formula logic pretty well.
Power BI actually has some AI features that help build dashboards, and since it integrates with Excel, it’s pretty handy.
I’ve tried a couple of AI tools but sometimes they create dashboards that are too complex for what I need. Anyone else had this?
Guess the biggest win with AI tools is reducing the grunt work so you can focus on analysis and decision making.
