In a world full of data, one of the most common problems is, not how to get the data, but how to make sense of it, how to see the big picture , how to understand what’s really going on.
Often, individuals are handed an enormous amount of data and told “we need this compiled into a report by next week “and end up spending hours and hours manually calculating totals and subtotals and averages, then cutting and pasting and formatting everything to create a formatted and acceptable report.
