5 tips to create the best Excel dashboard:

2. Connect different elements: Show relationships with alignment.  
3. Draw parallels and create associations: Two things that should be repeated consistently in your dashboard are abbreviations and color usage.  
4. Organise content and create focal points: Think about proximity. What will you choose to group or separate?  
5. Balance large elements with smaller elements
