This guide to SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards 4.0 (formerly Xcelsius )is a cookbook packed full of practical recipes written in a clear, concise manner with annotated examples to empower readers to quickly accomplish specific dashboard tasks. If you are a developer with a good command and knowledge of creating dashboards, but are not yet an advanced Dashboard Design user, then this is the perfect book for you. You should have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel as well as knowledge of basic dashboard practices, though experience of Dashboard Design as a specific dashboard tool is not essential.
This is really a great complete book that everyone work with SAP BO dashboard designer should own. The book contains many best practice and good ideas. chapters like how to stay in control by organizing your Excel model and chapter like 3rd parties plugin are really helpful as you can find such information anywhere else. what i wanted to see more in this book some extra information about mobile dashboards and new data connection types like direct query. but overall this is a nice book that i will recommend to my friends and students.
