The Daily Kanban Board
Capture daily project activities of all your projects on a spreadsheet. Use the Kanban Board spreadsheet to make important project notes. The Kanban Board notes will be used to update your MS Project plans or other project tracking software. Keep it very simple with three columns consisting of To Do, In Progress, and Done. Create a daily tab on the spreadsheet carrying forward outstanding activities on the new Kanban Board spreadsheet tab. The tabs come in real handy as a source of historical activities on the projects.
Kanban Board at a Glance
Having a visual view of all your projects on a spreadsheet Kanban Board style is very useful to help keep you on top of everything.
Updating Project Plans
Review the daily Kanban Board at the end of the day. Update your projects plans with the final project activity notes for the day. Updating your project plans throughout day to keep it fresh is good, but there are days that it's better left untouched till the dust settles at the end of the day.
Sample Kanban Board Spreadsheet
This is an actual snapshot of my Kanban Board spreadsheet that I use. You need to enlarge it to see it better.

I agree with Kiron and Sante on this. This approach is so far from the original kanban (card that you can see) that maybe should have a different name. Without an easy way to move the cards from one line to another it defies the purpose. I also prefer post-it, it is cheaper, it serves the purpose,it builds the team spirit and individual accountability for the task committed to (not assigned).
"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" I forgot where I read this [:)] but it'w worth considering it.
