From reports and dashboards to presentations, data visualization is an essential tool for prospect development teams. Enterprise business intelligence tools are great, but you don’t need a fancy platform to develop effective data visualizations. Excel is widely available and packed with features for data analysis and charting. Join Apra members Nicole Wittlin and Max Dakin – a.k.a “The Scattered Plotters” – to learn tips for taking your Excel skills to the next level. This session will demonstrate end-to-end report development concepts from data collection and wrangling to design and distribution.
This session will be recorded and emailed to all registrants with any slides or other materials presented during the presentation.
