If you begin tasks with the end in mind, you will be more productive. By asking questions such as, “What information do we need to get the result we need?” Or, “Would this task be performed faster if we used IDEA instead of Excel?” This session explores an automated process the Virginia Tech auditors use to collect data from four different sources to produce useful reports. Develop your skills in building a data analytics process starting with the end result to achieve a specific goal.

Develop a path to move procedures from Excel to IDEA
