Why is turning spreadsheet data into dashboards still painful?

by•

Even with better tools and AI, many teams still struggle to move from raw data to clear dashboards.

Excel is flexible.
Chat tools are helpful.
But stitching everything together often takes more effort than it should.

For folks building or working on products:

  • What’s the hardest part of dashboard creation today?

  • Is it setup, chart selection, insights, or maintenance?

  • What do you wish worked “out of the box”?

Genuinely curious to hear real workflows and pain points.

@rishabhgoel Great question! For me the hardest part is always the "what story should this data tell?" step. Tools give you charts, but they don't tell you which chart actually matters for your decision. I think the missing piece is context — dashboards need to understand WHY you're looking at the data, not just WHAT the data is. What's your biggest pain point with it?
