Design Excel visuals for risk results
Excel Dashboard Design: Communicating Credit Portfolio Risk
Context
You are tasked with preparing an Excel dashboard for a credit portfolio review. This dashboard must effectively communicate key financial risk metrics and insights to stakeholders.
Objectives
The dashboard needs to clearly present:
- Expected Loss (EL)
- Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA)
- Concentration risks across various dimensions including obligors, sectors, regions, and ratings.
Data Assumptions
You will have access to a loan-level dataset. This dataset is guaranteed to include at least the following fields:
DateObligor_IDObligor_NameSectorRegionRatingPD(Probability of Default)LGD(Loss Given Default)EAD(Exposure at Default)EL(Expected Loss, or the necessary components PD/LGD/EAD from which EL can be computed)RWA(Risk-Weighted Assets)Collateral_TypePortfolio/Book
Task
Design a comprehensive set of Excel visuals, which may include PivotTables, charts, and heatmaps, to effectively communicate the portfolio's EL, RWA, and identified concentration risks. For each proposed visual, you must specify the following:
- PivotTable Layout: Detail the exact configuration of Rows, Columns, Values, and Filters, along with any relevant slicers.
- Measures/Calculations: Describe the specific measures or calculations used, providing formulas if necessary (e.g., for custom calculated fields).
- Chart/Formatting: Outline the type of chart (e.g., bar, pie, line, scatter) or conditional formatting applied (e.g., for heatmaps).
- Decision-Making Aid: Clearly articulate why this particular view or visual aids decision-making for the credit portfolio review.
Your response should be a concise, actionable plan suitable for a technical screen, demonstrating your ability to translate complex data into clear, impactful business intelligence within Excel.
