Dashboards - how to make?

[Ольга Ч]

Hi! I've been given a task to make a dasboard in Confluence for sales analytics. But this dashboard must visualize data not from Atlassian products but from somewhere else, for example - Excel file. How can i do this? Maybe I can copy data from documents to Atlassian sources and use them in dashboards? What apps and gadgets should I use?

Hi @Ольга Ч,

We can suggest trying our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app (it’s free for Cloud 1-10 users).

You’ll be able to upload your existing Excel file via our Table Spreadsheet macro and continue to work with your data using all the basic Excel-like features right in Confluence (cell formulas, conditional formatting, charts, pivot tables, etc.).

Or you may upload you existing CSV file using our Table from CSV macro and recreate native-looking Confluence table that can be further filtered, aggregated, and visualized with the help of other macros provided with the app (Table Filter, Pivot Table and Chart from Table).

we'll try this app, thanks!

Hi @Ольга Ч 

you can't do Dashboards in Confluence per se (if you envision something similar to the Jira Dashboards), but you can use a 3rd party app to embed your Excel files in a Confluence page. Like Elements Spreadsheets or Excel for Confluence.

Or do research if a reporting tool would be your better option.

we afraid you're right, but we have another answer here which says we can do dasboards - so we'll try that app and we'll see if it can help us. thanks for your answer!
