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 identify relationships and trends in data, as well as any factors that could affect the results of research 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.
