Auto-Generating Dashboard Prototypes Directly Inside Google Sheets

The author created a tool to generate dashboard prototypes directly from Google Sheets data. This tool analyzes a selected data range and automatically produces multiple dashboard layout options. These dashboards are created and updated within Google Sheets for live data integration. The primary goal is to simplify the process of visualizing data, addressing the challenge of the "blank dashboard problem." The tool offers pre-built visual starting points based on the user's data structure. It keeps the data and dashboards within Google Sheets, eliminating the need for external tools. The project utilizes Google Apps Script for data reading and dashboard generation inside the spreadsheet environment. It features automatic schema detection and maps data structures to appropriate chart types. The system generates multiple dashboard prototypes, using native Google Sheets charts for live updates.
