Excel Dashboard Design: Communicating EL, RWA, and Concentration Risk
Context
You are preparing an Excel dashboard for a credit portfolio review that must clearly communicate:
-
Expected Loss (EL)
-
Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA)
-
Concentration risks across obligors, sectors, regions, and ratings
Assume you have a loan-level dataset with at least these fields: Date, Obligor_ID, Obligor_Name, Sector, Region, Rating, PD, LGD, EAD, EL (or PD/LGD/EAD from which EL can be computed), RWA, Collateral_Type, and Portfolio/Book.
Task
Design a set of Excel visuals (PivotTables, charts, heatmaps) to communicate the portfolio's EL, RWA, and concentration risks. For each visual, specify:
-
The PivotTable layout (Rows, Columns, Values, Filters) and any slicers.
-
Measures/calculations used (with formulas if needed).
-
The chart/formatting applied.
-
Why this view aids decision-making.
Provide a concise, actionable plan suitable for a technical screen.
