Having built hundreds of dashboards, one of the most time consuming stages of developing Xcelsius dashboards is the re-creation of Excel logic. This begged the question and the title for this post, "how much time do you waste creating Excel formulas"? Furthermore, what does that time cost your company / customer in development and maintenance?
When we started building components for SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards sorting, data filtering, and aggregation were at the top of the pain-point list. For experienced Xcelsius and Excel developers, the complexity and sophistication of dashboard logic to create very basic functionality was out of control, and something we fixed years ago with Filtered Summary and Dynamic Sort.
So if you are an customer who wastes too much time building and maintaining Excel logic in your dashboards, I offer you the following demo:

This dashboard was built with 1 data source (query) and 5 total formula cells containing SUM and CONCATENATE. Everything else is standard Xcelsius coupled with Essentials Bundle. This dashboard is now provided for free with purchase of Essentials Plugin Bundle.
