Challenge: Create a basic dashboard

(bright music) - [Lecturer] Here's an exercise to practice creating a basic dashboard and set up a dashboard that we're going to use throughout the rest of this course. So here are the steps you're going to do. First, you're going to open the Create Basic Dashboard Starter workbook, which has already got data for the Landon Hotel. Have a look through it so you understand all the different sections. Next, create a heat map showing the annual room occupancy for each hotel. Create a bar chart for the total orders per product. Create a monthly profit timeline. Create a heat map of the quantity of product per hotel and create a scatterplot showing the revenue versus profit for each hotel. Once you've got your sheets, you're then going to create a dashboard suitable for a laptop. Use layout containers for an equal grid layout, give the dashboard a suitable title, and add the two heat maps, scatterplot, and the timeline to the dashboard. This should take around 10 minutes.
