Certified autism moment. I finally got through all the training modules in my new job and got to move on to the FUN part of messing around with excel. I've spent the last 7 hours coding excel sheets and I am over the fucking moon happy about it. This is like the equivalent of playing in a sandbox for me

[buggerzz]

any product recs/stuff that makes ur life easier for a struggling disabled artist ? orz

I dont have much money so i have not bought a lot of things-

With my joint issues, it helps to wear compression stuff. Especially gloves. Trust me. Its worth it.

Generally bracing, i usually do my knees and wrist if needed. If i know im going to be standing or walking a lot, ill brace my knees. (I need to get new knee braces bc the ones i have currently are not doing what they need to)

ARTIST WISE- definitely compression gloves. If u use a tablet they are also good drawing gloves to protect the tablet from oils! If u crochet or knit or craft, theyre very helpful in preventing carpal tunnel aswell!

Always keep note of ur body! "Do my wrists need a break? Is this position ok on my knees? Am i subluxating my shoulder rn????" And other questions about breaks and positioning help me to. I also currently have my tablet and most crafts next to my bed, so if it gets especially bad i can lay down or move. Also nearby my meds lmao. Its also WAY easier to prop up my shoulders, knees, etc. And keep them from hyperextending in bed.

Also also, i have that all set up on a medical table like this. I got mine from my mom after her surgeries, but i reccomend getting a much bigger one because mine is a balancing act. Not good. GET ONE WITH WHEELS!!!! my one also pivots so i dont need to sleep with it over me or mess with it much.

I have a pain chart to assess where im at, if i pass an 8 i take a break or at LEAST grab my heat pad/pain meds.

I also keep water handy!! If i need meds or if im cramping/spasming it helps me to drink water.

Other tips i have are getting a stool to sit on in the shower! A shower chair would be better, but i share my bathroom with 3 other people and also. Money. So i dont have one currently. Also for showers- if it's harder for you to do hygeine because of your physical OR mental state, you can brush your teeth in the shower. Do it before washing, but like. Its better than not brushing, and when thats all you can do, do it. Also also, having something IN the shower to hold on to- sitting or standing, can also help. I have water guards and those have saved my skull TOO MANY TIMES. also showers help my brain and my body! The water temperature can act as an all over heating pad or ice pack and help with pain.

I love showers they are my best friend. Sad? Get in the shower. Hurt? Into the shower!!!

Heat pads help me, other people react well to heat. See if pain meds can help, but i only really take mine when im at an 8-10 because im paranoid about medicines.

Physical therapy ofc, its been helping me a bit. My place is pretty affordable too! Got lucky with that.

The only other thing I recommend is a rolling chair. If you have mobility issues or your knees hurt too bad to walk, but wheelchairs/mobility aids are too expensive, a rolling chair can work in the house. It's hard to go over bumps, but it's possible. My chair is ALSO broken !!! The back broke off because we've had it for 6+ years. Generally stools and chairs are good. Also just recognizing that you can do a decent amount of stuff while sitting helps. Just ,, sit.

Obv actual mobility aids are BETTER, but I dont have access to them so I make do!!!

Food wise, it can be SOO much easier to eat convenience meals (microwave stuff, sandwiches, etc) and if thats all u have to work with, its better than nothing! But i do reccomend having leftovers when you cook. Microwave that and its usually healthier and tastier and just as easy and non-physically taxing.

I also like to work ahead whemever possible. On good days i will prepare EVERYTHING needed for any physically hard task i have coming up. If i need a checklist or tasklist or a bag of items or to find something i lost, ill do that when its easiest.

ANYWAYS THAT WAS LONG. TLDR: rolly chairs, bed tables,compression gloves & other compression stuff, joint braces, topical treatments, pain meds, stools for the shower & other items for shower safety. HEAT PADS /ice packs

Actions: regular physical checkins, sit down more, do pt if possible, roll around the house, shower more, keep water handy, make extra leftovers for later, shower more, do what u can WHEN u can, prop up/support any loose joints with pillows.

The Synthesizer “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” (1981) Daryl Hall & John Oates RCA Records (Written by Sara Allen, Daryl Hall, John Oates) Highest U.S. Billboard Chart Position – No. 1

Released in 1981 and hitting No. 1 at the beginning of 1982, one of the most forward-looking pop singles ever still retains a lot of its mystery.  I have been all over the archives and it is impossible to locate the synthesizers on the song (especially the chimed ringing keyboard sounds that float over the top) but one of the definites is the deployment of an early, boxy, primitive drum machine called the Roland CompuRhythm CR-78.  The apocryphal story is that Daryl Hall flipped the switch to the first setting, Rock 1, and immediately started to write the song.  The band gathered around and quickly filled in the gaps, and the song was finished in a couple of hours.  The lyrics center around the insane demands of their record company at the time, which Hall kept general so they could be reinterpreted, and because they were starting that wild ride of fame where material gets thinner because you are working all of the time, one uses what is closest to them, OR, because he was entering the Refusenik phase, where, as George Michael would evidence, one starts to complain about Uber fame, and say No Go.

This is the second post where upon close inspection it is the drum sound that signals the future.  I had always enjoyed the perfection of the song as an example of synthesizers in the studio, but what I can understand now is that the song is really an example of more than a decade of fine tuning and distilling the many musical influences, especially Philly Soul, into this new poppier one.  It may be no accident that this very same drum machine opens 1980’s “Kiss on My List”, which announced this new leaner sound for Daryl Hall and John Oates (their preferred band name), and the record they were recording, Private Eyes, was to shine this up to a high luster.  

Nothing can truly unwrap the unique quality of “I Can’t Go”.  It can’t have hurt that Sara Allen, Hall’s paramour, added her pop touches to the tune (she is an unsung and pivotal part of their pop success in the 80s as their co-songwriter), but what makes its special is the attack: spare to the bone, like the Roland drum machine that inspired it, everything pinned down to its meanest parts: drums, a lone guitar line, a sax solo, and Hall's (and Oates') super lean, dubbed vocals on top. Is it a new wave song, a pop song, or a soul song?  It is hard to disassemble, but what is certain is that it hit No.1 on both the Billboard and the R&B charts, which certainly adds to their mystique and credibility.  It is also on the record that while recording “We Are the World” Michael Jackson admitted to Hall that he cribbed the bassline for “Billie Jean” from the hit, by which Hall was amazed and flattered, never having noticed the similarities before.  In this day some lawyer would sue for the fun of it, but it should be a rule that one good song should in part inspire many others, and that there is room for a lot of players at that table.  For a song as good as this one, I doubt it could ever occur twice anyway.

“I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” hit the No. 1 spot for one lonely week at the end of January in 1982.  By comparison “Ebony and Ivory” (a truly awful song) stayed on top for 2 months, and “Eye of The Tiger” for 6 weeks, proving the adage that only time will really tell you anything about anything.  

Many bands utilized this early Roland drum machine, most notably its early use with the sped up (Bossa Nova?) noises that open Blondie’s“Heart of Glass” (1979) and it’s prominent presence on Phil Collin’s eternal hit “In The Air Tonight" (1981).

I am beginning to believe that the very layout of "corporate structure" is why all Americans, even the corporate structures going to war with #SAG-AFTRA #WGA is the "actual problem" that needs to be glaringly corrected... permanently. Say this strike fails to persuade 'current studios' to make amends, and pay "actual talent" versus "talentless corporate executives" --- okay, fine... avenue for the 'actual' talent: START OVER! (What the hell does that mean?)

It means exactly what it sounds like: Start Over... the WGA and SAG-AFTRA take your future ip content and your talents, and form a new conglomerate... and this new conglomerate creates a true "permanent" worker protected "fair share" studio system which protect the "talents'" ip as their ip -- and not "corporate ip" bs we see now. And if the #DGA wishes to join, well, they got a hard decision to make.

What about other less overbearing smaller studios with unique ip who wanna do business in this new chapter leaving the big studios in the cold? Simple: any participating studio must follow the new proper pay standard by new hybrid model and THEY sign a contract to produce movies THROUGH the talent conglomerate --- NOT through the corprations. "Reverse the role" on what is obviously a dead corporate model that has no interest in doing whats right.

Saddest Result: What about all the content thus far under current corporate ownership? That's the rub: RIP old Hollywood -- start over means... Start Over. Sometimes you have to chart a new course in history -- that means letting your past works go (yeah, i know, ouch) Down the road, when old Hollywood eventually but slowly bleeds to death... the new "talent share conglomerate" will re-acquire those old works, and eventually transfer the ip fiscal rights appropriately into correct shares to where it should have always been... directly and with protections to the ACTUAL ARTISTS (that will take a few decades though)

Its new... its scary... and it is completely warranted based on what is transpiring. Never underestimate artist creativity, especially in capacity to pivot, adapt, and reinvent themselves to reshape the world, including current outdated corporate models no longer welcome in the new era. This new hybrid effort is the next logical step in advancing "collective bargaining" to "collective fair share" designed for 'the talent' and their families to prosper for generations.

"That just not reasonable Chris!" And the current structure of unequal pay is?! Yeah, i thought so... put your heads together, come up with a "proposal model with proposed start date (that's key)", walk into current negotiations, slide this 'time-bomb' across that table, and put the pressure on them to listen and follow your demands -- like a huge nuclear-like deterrence that you will mobilize should your demands not be met by said date. (Fly on the wall in that meeting): Corporations: "Oh... you think you can do better?" Your Response: "Don't tempt us -- they know 'our' faces and names out there -- they don't know yours -- make this easy on yourself" (Need to act fast... scabs are at the doorstep)

Sometimes you have to light torches in your own village... to humble a city.

Could you please reveal what the seating chart looks like in the reputation universe?

THANK YOU for this question which i had a great time thinking about over breakfast :))

so initially my vision (following in my long tradition of using carlos and yuki as placeholders) was to shuffle just that side of the real life table around in order to put devon & aiden closer together. i then looked at the other side of the table and thought no. this could be funnier actually. and produced this

sebastian vettel (possibly arranged by lewis??) seating plan patch notes for reputation verse dlc 18.11.2022

moved devon and aiden together in honour of seb’s gay allyship

lewis and devon are acquaintances at best and their paths don’t really cross on or off track so this may well be the first conversation they have had since lewis sent him a politely worded “homophobia is bad” dm in the literal first chapter. there is a lot to update lewis on really

moving devon there also means he gets to sit opposite nicky who i decided he is kind of friends with two chapters ago :)

i also decided to shuffle esteban down so he and devon can actually have a conversation after dropping that they’re friends in chapter 2 and never having them interact after that (my bad!) (if it helps i’m pretty sure esteban was pivotal in suggesting devon for the alpine seat)

i then decided that this would be really pleasant conversation for everyone involved and i needed to make it worse, so i shuffled the mclarens and put lando also opposite devon, because they hate each other and they ARE going to make it obvious every time the other speaks

this then put me in the perfect position to seat charles and pierre together. they think nothing of it until halfway through the night when they finally twig that devon and aiden have been conspicuously seated together which throws them into a crisis wondering what the fuck seb and/or lewis know

Mastering Excel Data Analysis & Dashboard Reporting: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners and Pros

Excel has established itself as one of the most powerful tools for data analysis and dashboard reporting. It’s used globally, from small businesses to large corporations, for financial analysis, reporting, and business insights. Mastering Excel Data Analysis & Dashboard Reporting can set you apart as an expert capable of translating raw data into meaningful insights.

In this guide, we'll dive into everything from Excel basics to advanced data analysis techniques and dashboard reporting strategies that allow you to make the most of this versatile software. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to enhance your existing skills, this article will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to excel in data analysis and dashboard creation.

Why Excel for Data Analysis and Dashboard Reporting?

Microsoft Excel is widely preferred for its flexibility, ease of use, and comprehensive functions that support data manipulation and report generation. Unlike specialized data analytics software like Power BI or Tableau, Excel is more accessible and remains one of the most popular options for data analysts and business managers worldwide. Here’s why:

User-Friendly Interface: Excel's interface is intuitive, making it easy for beginners to learn.

Advanced Functions and Formulas: Excel offers powerful tools like pivot tables, VLOOKUP, INDEX MATCH, and macros for in-depth analysis.

Data Visualization Options: With charting tools like line charts, bar graphs, scatter plots, and heat maps, you can create visually compelling reports.

Widely Accessible: Most professionals already have Excel, making it easy to share and collaborate.

Getting Started with Excel Data Analysis

Before jumping into dashboard reporting, it’s essential to understand the basics of Excel data analysis. Here are some foundational concepts to get you started:

1. Data Cleaning

Clean data is the foundation of accurate analysis. Remove any errors, duplicates, and blanks that can skew results. Excel has functions like Remove Duplicates and Text to Columns that make data cleaning straightforward.

Top Data Cleaning Tips:

Use the Trim function to remove extra spaces.

Apply Conditional Formatting to highlight duplicates.

Replace errors with IFERROR to ensure formulas work smoothly.

2. Data Sorting and Filtering

Sorting and filtering are essential for focusing on specific aspects of your data. Sorting arranges data in ascending or descending order, while filtering lets you view only the rows that meet certain criteria.

Use Filter in the “Data” tab to focus on subsets of your data.

Sort by Multiple Columns to organize complex data sets effectively.

3. Data Analysis with Pivot Tables

Pivot tables are the most powerful tool in Excel for summarizing data. They allow you to group, filter, and perform calculations on large data sets.

Create Pivot Tables from your data to gain insights quickly.

Use Pivot Charts to visualize data directly from pivot tables.

Master the Slicer tool to filter pivot tables easily.

Pro Tip: Experiment with the Calculated Field feature in pivot tables for custom calculations.

Intermediate Excel Functions for Data Analysis

Excel’s robust functions allow you to perform complex calculations and analyses. Here are some intermediate-level functions that are useful in data analysis:

1. VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP

VLOOKUP (Vertical Lookup) and HLOOKUP (Horizontal Lookup) are lookup functions that search for a specific value in a column or row and return a corresponding value from another column or row.

2. INDEX and MATCH

These functions are alternatives to VLOOKUP, offering more flexibility. INDEX MATCH is especially useful when your lookup value is not in the first column.

3. IF Statements

IF statements help in logical analysis, making it easy to assign conditions and categorize data.

4. Conditional Formatting

Conditional formatting highlights cells based on specific criteria, making it ideal for spotting trends and outliers in data. Use it to:

Highlight top-performing metrics.

Showcase negative growth or other flags.

Display threshold-based formatting in dashboards.

Building Excel Dashboards: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating Excel dashboards involves using various functions and tools to present data clearly and effectively. Dashboards are highly customizable and give a visual summary of key metrics, enabling faster decision-making. Here’s a step-by-step guide to building an Excel dashboard.

1. Define the Purpose and Audience

Identify the key metrics that your audience needs. For example, a sales dashboard might focus on revenue trends, regional performance, and customer acquisition costs.

2. Prepare and Organize Data

The data you use should be accurate and organized. Structure it so that it’s easy to update without disrupting your dashboard. Use named ranges to simplify formulas.

3. Select Visual Elements

Choose charts and visuals that represent your data effectively. Some popular options include:

Line Charts for trends over time.

Bar Charts for comparing categories.

Pie Charts for showing parts of a whole.

Gauges for KPI indicators.

4. Create Dynamic Data with Pivot Tables and Slicers

Pivot tables allow for easy data manipulation, while slicers let users filter data dynamically. This is especially useful for interactive dashboards.

5. Apply Conditional Formatting

Use conditional formatting to make your dashboard visually informative. This could include color-coding performance metrics based on thresholds.

6. Utilize Excel’s Form Controls

Add form controls like dropdowns and checkboxes to make your dashboard interactive and user-friendly.

7. Automate with Macros

Macros automate repetitive tasks, saving time and ensuring consistency. Use macros for data refreshing or to apply common formatting.

Advanced Excel Features for Professional Data Analysis

For those looking to advance their Excel skills, here are some high-level tools and techniques:

1. Power Query

Power Query automates data preparation and is ideal for pulling data from multiple sources, cleaning it, and shaping it before analysis.

2. Power Pivot

Power Pivot enables you to work with large data sets and perform calculations that regular pivot tables can’t handle. You can create relationships between different data sources, which is highly useful for business intelligence reporting.

3. Data Analysis ToolPak

The Data Analysis ToolPak is an Excel add-in that provides tools for statistical analysis, including regression analysis, histograms, and t-tests. It’s beneficial for anyone needing to conduct in-depth data analysis.

4. What-If Analysis

Excel's What-If Analysis tools, like Scenario Manager and Goal Seek, allow you to test different scenarios in your data.

Best Practices for Effective Excel Dashboard Reporting

Keep It Simple: Don’t overcrowd your dashboard. Use only essential visuals and metrics.

Consistency Is Key: Maintain a uniform color scheme, font, and layout.

Make It Interactive: Use slicers, form controls, and dynamic visuals to enhance usability.

Update Data Automatically: Link to real-time data sources if possible, or schedule regular updates.

Focus on User Experience: A good dashboard should be easy to navigate and interpret.

Popular Use Cases for Excel Dashboards

1. Financial Dashboards

Financial dashboards are one of the most popular use cases in Excel. They allow for tracking revenue, profit margins, and expenses over time.

2. Marketing Dashboards

Marketing dashboards consolidate metrics like website traffic, social media engagement, and conversion rates, helping marketers monitor and optimize campaign performance.

3. Sales Dashboards

Sales dashboards show metrics like total sales, sales per region, and sales funnel conversion rates. They are valuable tools for sales teams to gauge performance and forecast revenue.

4. HR Dashboards

HR dashboards provide insights into employee metrics such as hiring, attrition, and performance, offering a data-driven approach to human resource management.

Excel Data Analysis & Dashboard Reporting: Key Takeaways

Excel is versatile for both data analysis and dashboard reporting, ideal for professionals at all levels.

Advanced functions like pivot tables, VLOOKUP, and Power Query unlock powerful capabilities.

Excel dashboards provide a visual summary of data that can drive business decisions.

Leveraging Excel for financial analysis, marketing insights, sales tracking, and more enables organizations to make informed decisions based on real-time data.

By mastering Excel Data Analysis & Dashboard Reporting, you can position yourself as an essential asset in any organization.

Advance Excel Course: Mastering Excel for Data Management and Analysis

Introduction to Advanced Excel

Advanced Excel isn’t just about knowing how to sum a row of numbers or create a basic chart. It’s about transforming data into valuable insights, automating tasks, and managing vast amounts of information.

Conditional Formatting

One of the most powerful visual tools in Excel, conditional formatting allows you to dynamically change the format of a cell based on its content. For instance, you could use color scales to visually represent high and low values or highlight any errors in your data.

VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP

VLOOKUP (Vertical Lookup) and HLOOKUP (Horizontal Lookup) are some of the most commonly used functions for finding specific information in large datasets. Whether you need to find a price from a product code or retrieve an employee’s details from an ID, these lookup functions will help you do it efficiently.

INDEX and MATCH

INDEX and MATCH are often considered a superior alternative to VLOOKUP because they are more flexible and powerful when handling larger data sets. These functions allow you to look up values in a table by specifying both the row and column numbers.

Working with Large Data Sets

In any advance excel course, you will learn how to handle massive amounts of data. Knowing how to sort, filter, and clean up large datasets is crucial. Data validation tools help maintain the integrity of your data by ensuring that only correct information gets entered into your spreadsheets.

Pivot Tables: A Powerful Data Analysis Tool

Pivot Tables are one of Excel’s most powerful features for analyzing data. You can use them to summarize and organize data into meaningful insights. For example, you can quickly find the average sales per product, filter data by time period, or analyze trends in specific categories.

How to Create a Pivot Table in Excel

Power Query and Power Pivot

Power Query is a data connection technology that allows you to import, transform, and combine data from various sources. Power Pivot is an advanced tool for data modeling, enabling you to handle millions of rows of data with ease.

Conditional Formatting for Dynamic Spreadsheets

Conditional formatting adds layers of intelligence to your spreadsheets. Whether you want to highlight outliers, trends, or specific thresholds, conditional formatting helps you create dynamic, insightful spreadsheets.

Collaboration Features in Excel

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
