Excel dashboards cannot be directly converted to web-based landing pages while maintaining their interactive filtering capabilities due to Excel’s web publishing restrictions.
Here’s how to recreate your Excel dashboard as a fully interactive web-based landing page that visitors can filter and manipulate in real-time.
Rebuild your dashboard in Google Sheets with Coefficient for live data
Coefficientprovides an effective solution pathway for creating interactive web-based spreadsheet dashboards. By rebuilding your Excel dashboard in Google Sheets, you gain superior web integration capabilities while maintaining live data connections.
How to make it work
Step 1. Recreate your Excel dashboard structure in Google Sheets.
Build your dashboard layout in Google Sheets, replicating the charts, tables, and visual elements from your Excel version. Google Sheets offers superior web integration capabilities that Excel simply can’t match.
Step 2. Connect Google Sheets to your original data sources using Coefficient.
Use Coefficient to establish direct connections between your Google Sheets dashboard and the same data sources that fed your Excel dashboard. This includes CRMs, databases, APIs, and other business systems.
Step 3. Configure scheduled imports for live data updates.
Set up Coefficient’s scheduled imports to refresh your dashboard data automatically. Choose from hourly, daily, or weekly updates to ensure your web-based landing page always shows current information.
Step 4. Set up interactive filter controls.
Create filter views and interactive elements in Google Sheets that allow visitors to manipulate data views. These controls maintain full functionality when published to the web, unlike Excel’s static web publishing.
Step 5. Publish your dashboard as a web-accessible landing page.
Use Google Sheets’ native web publishing features to create your interactive landing page. Visitors can use filters, sort data, and interact with charts without downloads or plugin requirements.
Step 6. Add Coefficient’s alert features for stakeholder notifications.
Configure alerts to notify stakeholders when dashboard metrics change or reach specific thresholds. This adds proactive monitoring capabilities that Excel web publishing can’t provide.
