Build a dashboard in Excel or Google Sheets

The agent takes an export from 1C or your CRM and builds a dashboard in Excel or Google Sheets: revenue, orders and margin charts, refreshed on schedule.

Who it fits

  • You need a file you can hand to a colleague: they swap in the export and everything recalculates by itself.
  • The existing dashboard breaks after every refresh: ranges shift, slicers come loose.
  • Not a fit if you need an online dashboard refreshed on a schedule — that's a different scenario.
Starter prompt

Build a sales dashboard for [period] in [Google Sheets / XLSX] on 1C data. Arrange the file like this: a "Source" sheet — a flat table with no merged cells and a date column in a single format; a "Summary" sheet — pivot tables by [breakdowns]; a "Dashboard" sheet — charts and slicers tied to the pivots rather than to the source directly. Set the pivot ranges as whole columns or named ranges so that nothing shifts when a new export has a different number of rows. Don't hard-code calculated values into the dashboard cells: every figure must be recalculated from "Source". On a separate "How to refresh" sheet describe: where to paste the new export, what to click and what breaks if the column order in the export changes.

How the agent does it

1

Describe the breakdowns and where the file lives

Google Sheets and Excel behave differently with slicers and pivots — name where the file will be opened more often so it isn't built for both at once.

2

Run the build

The agent spreads the data across three sheets and ties the charts to the pivots rather than the source table: that way a refresh doesn't break the visualization.

3

Check the result

Before handing the file to colleagues — make the agent review its own work

Check the result

Review how the file is built. List: — formulas and ranges that will shift if the new export has more or fewer rows; — cells where the value is typed in as a number rather than calculated from "Source"; — pivots and slicers that will lose their link if the column order or names change; — elements not supported in [Google Sheets / Excel] that will break on opening; — what exactly a person has to do on a refresh and what they must not touch by hand. Whatever you can rebuild yourself, show as a "proposed changes" list; leave the rest to me.

A second prompt — the agent uses it to review its own work and show what's left for you.

What you set

Google Sheets, 1C. From you: the breakdowns you need in the pivots and the decision on where the file lives — in Google Sheets or in XLSX.
