Where does the result go?

A new dashboard sheet with a single fitted PNG + a B1 trigger. Nothing is written on the sheet holding your source table.

What happens to invalid or unexpected values?

Falls back to native writer on any failure.

How are blank cells handled?

Semantic detection; honest empty.

Does the result stay linked to the source?

No, the output is static; rerun the tool after changing the source data for a current view.

Create a Dashboard in Excel

In short: Builds one of four ready dashboard layouts (Executive, Sales, HR, Finance) from the selected data. A new dashboard sheet with a single fitted PNG + a B1 trigger.
