Dashboard vs Analytic Software
http://www.exceldashboardwidgets.com/
Analytics is the discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in
data. Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information,
analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer
programming and operations research to quantify performance. Analytics
often favors data visualization to communicate insight. (wikipedia)
