Hi team, here we go with the excel based business school dashboard. After a great response of the gmat prep analysis tool, I was thinking of some thing big with greater scope & covering a detailed area. Nothing could be more important than the b.schools' data itself, so I thought for an Excel based B.School Dashboard project. Here I am presenting the very first version to get some feedback from the community. Based upon your suggestions, I will plug in more data & functions & then will share the updated version in 2011. Dashboard 1 1.I have gathered the data of these 17 schools only & will add new schools if required Booth,Columbia,Cornell,Darden,Fuqua,Haas, HBS,Kellogg,McCombs,MIT,Ross,Stanford, Stern,Tuck,UCLA,Wharton,Yale 2. There are currently six areas of information that are presented in the form of graphs. The new information points can be added depending on your suggestions. 3. The data is taken from Business Week website. 4. Comaprison can be seen for 4 schools at a time. https://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3664/dashboard1.jpg Dashboard 2 1.Individual school info is presented. 2.Four categories are there showing the information regarding "total applicants vs enrolled class", "male vs female", "under grad majors" & Post MBa job functions of the most recent MBA classes of each school. 3.No comparison is shown here, instead all the info can be seen against a single school at a time. https://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4762/dashboard2.jpg School Rankings 1.BW & USN rankings of this decade have been presented in two separate sheets. 2.Two options are there, a single school ranking or ranking comparison between two schools can be viewed. https://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3589/bwrankings.jpg Specaility Rankings 1. US News speciality rankings for 2010 can be viewed. 2.Accounting, Finance, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Management & Non-Profit wise rankings are presented. https://img143.imageshack.us/img143/2189/usnspeciality.jpg I hope you will find this dashboard useful & will share your valuable feedback with us.

Wow ... Great job! My first post (not sure .. but I guess) is for u

Great work, Hussain. Jaidev's suggestion of using an earlier version of excel (.xls instead of .xlsx) might be worth looking into. Many GC members may not have the latest version.

Thanks for all the comments! I have added the link posted by malbec in my post, the link will guide you to the MS Office compatibility pack. I will also try to add the xls file soon.
