Meeting

Thursday, May 27, 2010

We are pleased to announce the topic for the May meeting.

Topic: Using Excel for Data Management

All organizations have data, but the real value of data occurs when transformed into useful information. This interactive, hands-on presentation will walk you through multiple features of data management tools readily available on one of the most available yet underutilized software programs in the market: Microsoft Excel. 

Participants will have the opportunity to use these tools on a provided data set: Excel table (i.e., Excel List), PivotTable, Filter, and subtotals.

If you are responsible for managing large amount of data, often overwhelmed with the data you have and looking for a way to better manage and extract valuable information using Excel, or just curious about what Excel has to offer, we hope you will join us for dinner and an informative evening.

We will be meeting in a room with 22 computer stations.  Additional seating is available if you’d prefer to bring your person computer.  You are more than welcome to work along with Ranida on a computer, or just be an interested spectator.
