We all collect data, but what are we doing with it? What can we do with it? This workshop will walk through a real library dataset to look for insights and create a visual representation that tells a story. We will also walk through setting up an Excel workbook to efficiently capture data.
Learning Objectives:
Navigation of large datasets and mining for useful insights using basic tools such as filtering and formulas such as “average” and “percent change”.
Data visualization based on data mined from a large dataset
Creation of a data tracking workbook that utilizes cell referencing across worksheets
