ALCTS webinar: Excel for Technical Services: Intermediate
Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2020
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

This is the second session in a two-part series on features of Excel that can make data easier to both read and analyze. The presenter will walk through each step using a report generated from the ILS. The second, intermediate to advanced, session will show ways to transform data for analysis, including: importing fields from one spreadsheet into another, finding duplicates, splitting columns that have multiple values, and using conditional formatting to help visualize data.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
Use formulas to do basic arithmetic in Excel
Import data from one spreadsheet into another
Use conditional formatting to find duplicates or outlier values, and to create simple data visualizations
Split cells that contain multiple values, e.g., multiple ISBNs
