Data Consistency
4
As an advanced user, a lot of all your work in
Excel will be interconnected and constantly
evolving.
We will cover the general rules you have to
follow to make reports and analysis that can
scale and be consistently used even as the
projects you work on grow.

Planning for Scalability
5
In planning for scalability, you always have to
• Always work with the end in mind

worksheets and data fields
• Name every sheet and file from the start
• Avoid having too many tables in one Excel
sheet
• and many others…

Data Sorting

Sorting is one of the power user’s most used
tool. It allows you to present data in an ordered
fashion.
We’ll cover:

Data Filtering

Excel allows you to hide (or filter out) data
with field entries you are not interested in.
We’ll cover even special features of Filter.

when used in a summary table

the non-hidden data

Data Cleaning

Oftentimes the data we have is not in the form
we need. We have to do some data cleaning.

fields

clumsy
