Hi hunters, Bobby here – Cofounder and CEO of Equals, the next-generation spreadsheet. It’s been a minute, but that's because we’ve been heads down working on our biggest release to date. We’re so excited to announce the availability of Dashboards. Now, you can instantly turn any spreadsheet analysis into a dynamic dashboard and auto-distribute scheduled reports to stakeholders via Slack, email and Slides. All in a matter of clicks. It’s business intelligence, but dead easy. Here are the highlights: ✏️ They're easy to create (quickly) Just point and click, then drag and drop to add cells, tables, and charts. Add context with text and AI-generated summaries. 🔗 They're easy to share (confidently) Share dashboards with anyone — teammates, customers, and investors alike – with access controls that protect your underlying analysis. 🗓️ And they’re easy to distribute (automatically) Schedule and send reports anywhere your stakeholders are, whether that's Slack, email, or Google Slides. (Oh, you can export to PDF, too). Dashboards are included free with all paid subscriptions. If you can spreadsheet, now you can dashboard too. If you’re new to Equals, you can start a free 14-day trial today. We’re excited to see what you build. It’s business intelligence, but dead easy. ✌️

@bobbypinero Congratulations on the big release of Equals Dashboards! Turning spreadsheet analysis into dynamic dashboards and automating report distribution sounds like a game-changer. I appreciate how you've made it easy to create, share, and distribute dashboards, all while protecting the underlying analysis. And the fact that Dashboards are included for free with paid subscriptions is a fantastic offer! Well done and good luck on journey!
Bobby Pinero
@alexanderptitsyn thanks so much. We're happy to help folks get started on Dashboards. We offer templates for folks that want to try to get started on their own. And then of course we're happy to help you build your first analysis or two.

As a marketer who's typically always had to rely on other teams (that always have higher-priority work to do) when it comes to dashboards and reports, I can't say enough how stoked I am to have Dashboards in Equals. Here's an example...when we launched the waitlist for Dashboards a few weeks back, I was able to spin up a dashboard that showed me a live count of how many people had signed up, including who they were, plus traffic to our landing page – in minutes. Yes, minutes. By myself. And I was able to send it to our #marketing team's channel in Slack every day. Automatically. Literally game-changing. It truly is business intelligence, but dead easy.

@mattnhodges grateful to have you onboard!

On top of the useful features and what looks like a pretty seamless UX, the UI is really slick, congrats to the team at Equals!

@julienergan thanks Julien, really appreciate it!
Julien Ergan
@martinrariga Pleasure and congrats again! The UI looking already well polished, what are you thinking to work on after this launch?
Guillaume Ang
Making sense of spreadsheet. Where does the output goes? Can you export the result as a public link? Thanks

@g_ang Every dashboard has its own tab in the workbook (spreadsheet) where it, and the data on it, lives. You can share the workbook (or just the dashboard) with anyone. See here for more details: https://help.equals.com/en/artic...
Ferruccio Balestreri
Very cool launch! Great to see this out. We'll try out the new dashboard for our revenue reporting :)
Bobby Pinero
@frcbls awesome!
Adam Day
Wow the automations here look like huge time savers and would just remove a ton of the busy work from keeping track of core metrics. Congrats on the launch! How do you handle privacy of the datasets themselves?

@adayyy Hey Adam! We follow a number of best practices to keep your data secure. We store all credentials (for connections) encrypted in our database, with keys only accessible to production servers. We limit internal access to production servers on a strict need-only basis. We store your data encrypted at rest, undertake frequent pen tests. We are Soc 2 Type II compliant and work with a number of large customers who have all been satisfied with our security after doing a deep dive. Happy to discuss more and some more details here: https://help.equals.com/en/artic....

Over the past 10+ years prior to joining Equals I mostly designed tools to get you out of spreadsheet. Super excited to bring both worlds together by combining the flexibility of a spreadsheet with ability to create beautiful dashboards directly inside of it. There's unlimited ways to create your own dashboards, all with the power of spreadsheet connected to live data. We already see people do amazing things with dashboards in beta and can't wait to see what you use it for! Let us know if you have any feedback or questions!
Bobby Pinero
@martinrariga so grateful to have you on the team Martin!

This Product Hunt launch was everywhere on my Twitter and LinkedIn. Had to drop by and give it an upvote. Talk about blowing past my frequency capping, to a point where it actually works! Congrats guys. How does this differ from Mixpanel? I can recreate what Matt is discussing in just a few minutes too. We've already set Mixpanel up, so I'm not looking to switch, but I'm always eager to understand what's new in the market! Also, maybe there's an issue on the landing page where it says "Here are a few dashboards we prepared earlier." It took me forever to figure out where the navigation buttons were. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/up...
Bobby Pinero
@khushi_lunkad1 glad to hear you were seeing us everywhere! Main difference from Mixpanel is that we're actually a spreadsheet. We give you the flexibility and familiarity of a spreadsheet interface - cells, formulas, pivots, conditional formatting, etc - with the ability to build full BI-grade dashboards. We're also connected to 30+ datasources, unlike Mixpanel.
Justin Berka
Dashboards are an incredible addition to Equals; being able to quickly create beautiful dashboards alongside the spreadsheet interface is an enormous win. Congratulations on the launch!
Bobby Pinero
@jberka yess!

Jamie Osler
As an engineer I'm always looking for ways to turn repeated actions into an automated, streamlined processes. Dashboards has "closed the loop" here at Equals for me. I already could connect live to Github to pull in issues to see how we're tracking week to week, or keep on top of our data storage utilization. Now, those models can be cleanly displayed in a dashboard, and delivered right to me every week. It's so incredible to have a quick, programmable way to gain insights into the data I care about.
Bobby Pinero
@josler you're the best!
Abbey Minondo
When I first found out about Equals, I was spending hours daily downloading billing information, support metrics, and user activity events from all kinds of different places to stitch it together in a spreadsheet. All before I could move from insights to action. Today, I'm just as excited about what we're creating (maybe even a little more). Not only are analyses easy to build, but they're also simple to share. Stack cells, tables, and charts like Legos. If words aren't your thing, have AI whip up the takeaways. When getting your data is a pain, you make less data-driven decisions. At Equals, everyone in the company has a daily pulse into what the numbers say about our business. It helps us stay on track and motivated. Don't waste time working around your tools -- get tools that work for you. 🤜 🤛
Bobby Pinero
@abbey_minondo yessss Abbey!

I can't wait to get my hands on Equals! Been struggling with excel for so long doing internal forecasting and bookkeeping. Amazing!!!
Larry Hartman
Spreadsheets can be confounding. It's great to have a product like yours to bring thsi antiquated process into the modern age.
Bobby Pinero
@disgruntled hey Larry, that's exactly the idea!
Fredrick Momanyi
Congrats on your launch! Always happy to see more developments in the AI space and Dashboards is a welcome addition. All the best in your journey and looking forward to trying out Dashboards!

Very cool team! Software is always a glorified spreadsheet. But now it's a spreadsheet, glorified. It's amazing how nice and presentable you've made it!
