Data Viz 101: Building Excel Dashboards to Visualize Differences in Your Data

This virtual workshop, designed for curious but relatively novice data-wranglers, will walk you through the process of going from raw data to an interactive dashboard... without having to learn a whole new program. The Community Research, Evaluation & Development Team (UA CRED) will guide you through the process of making pivot tables to quickly summarize data and creating a dashboard where you can slice & dice your data to visualize how responses differ for subgroups in your data – all in Excel.

Participants should have Excel installed on their computers. A practice dataset will be available, but you are also invited to bring your own dataset that you want to transform in to a dashboard.

Day 2: Friday, March 29, 2024 9 AM - 12:30 PM

Location: TBA
