Description
Have you ever wanted to better understand the mountain of data you collect but feel intimidated by Excel or Sheets? Have you thought about making your Board reports or Leadership Team updates more flashy and useful but didn't know where to start? Have you ever turned to Gemini for help but didn't even know what prompt to use? Come to this session and you'll leave with everything you need! This spreadsheet session is designed to give you the chance to play with a real dataset and learn the skills you need to bring your office into the data-informed era. We are great at collecting it, now let's figure out how to organize and visualize it so you know exactly how many of your acceptances are likely to yield and how many more 7th grade boys you need to get to complete the application. Focusing on mastering a few key functions, this presentation will walk through the construction of a common enrollment chart to share with your Head, a predictive algorithm to set inquiry goals, and some tricks to simplify your life in this cycle. Every function and skill will be shown at a beginner, intermediate, and advanced use-case so it should be a session where everyone can learn something! You'll also walk away with dashboard templates and the skills to make them work for your school's data.
