Having valuable information live in spreadsheets is common for many nonprofits. Do you ever look at this data and think “I know there is a better way to do this” or “Wouldn’t it be helpful if I could calculate -insert brilliant idea-?”
This presentation will help you learn new spreadsheet skills to improve your data tracking, increase your productivity, and strengthen your ability to report valuable information to key stakeholders (funders, your board, committees, donors, policymakers, etc.). We’ll highlight handy tips and tricks, discuss a holistic view to creating scalable workbooks (spreadsheets that are flexible toward incorporating more data), and review examples of using data to tell your organization’s story.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
Use “advanced” formulas (e.g. SUMIF, INDEX-MATCH, X-LOOKUP, etc.) in Excel or Google Sheets
Leverage Excel’s features (e.g. pivot tables, named ranges, recording macros) to help you be more efficient
Improve your data visualization skills to tell the story to stakeholders
This session is designed for individuals who have a basic understanding of spreadsheet tools (Excel, Google Sheets, etc.) and are looking to advance their abilities. If there are specific topics you’d like help with, please provide that information in your registration so we can ensure this training can be tailored to your needs.
