PDA Event: Excel for Library Projects Series: Learn by Doing: Project 4: Collection Analysis Report Production

During this session, we may need to take time to review the previous projects or complete any work we started in previous sessions of the Excel for Library Projects Series. If we have time, we’ll continue working with the data from Project 3. Our goal will be to create a powerful report to get an overview of how journals and journal packages are used across the university, by subject. Or we might work on a different collection analysis report, depending on how the series has progressed. We may look at other tools that work well with Excel, especially Power BI.
