Analyzing & processing data
Let the spreadsheet or a BI tool do the math and the charts.
- 1Set up formulas and pivot tables once, so the numbers you need to conduct verifications of employment recalculate themselves.
- 2Connect a free dashboard so reports refresh themselves (Looker Studio, Power BI).
- 3Use AI to summarise the findings, but keep the numbers in the spreadsheet.
