Excel 2016 Cheat Sheet - Computerworld

Excel 2016 Cheat Sheet - Computerworld | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
The current version is Excel 2016, released in late 2015 when the entire Office suite was upgraded. But although you may have upgraded to the latest version, you might be missing out on some worthwhile features introduced in Excel 2016 -- that's what we'll look at in this story.

Your copy of Excel 2016 may have been purchased as standalone software or as part of an Office 365 subscription. But that doesn't matter; all the tips here apply to whatever version of Excel 2016 you're using.

Common Data Cleanup Formulas in Excel | MarTech

Common Data Cleanup Formulas in Excel | MarTech | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
For years, I’ve used the publication as a resource to not just describe how to do things, but to also keep a record for myself to look up later! Today, we had a client that handed us a customer data file that was a disaster. Virtually every field was misformatted and; as a result, we were unable to import the data. While there are some great add-ons for Excel to do the cleanup using Visual Basic, we run Office for Mac which won’t support macros. Instead, we look for straight formulas to assist. I thought I’d share some of those here just so others can use them.

The Problems With Using Spreadsheets to Manage Your Marketing Budget - Marketo

The Problems With Using Spreadsheets to Manage Your Marketing Budget - Marketo | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
The experience of using a spreadsheet for managing a marketing budget can range from simplistic to nightmarish. Read on to find out the 5 problems with managing budgets on a spreadsheet.


Condensed...


There are five primary problems with using spreadsheets.

1)  Spreadsheet data can be erroneous when entered or changed.

2)  Spreadsheet consolidations and aggregations are not for the weak of heart.

3)  Spreadsheets are not scalable. I have seen marketing budgets that encompass hundreds of marketing programs, multiple lines of business or geographies across multiple product lines. If you are tracking and rolling up all marketing spend transactions, you can easily get into tens of thousands of lines of spreadsheet rows making reporting and consolidations slow and difficult.

4)  Spreadsheets are in reality not that flexible. Using the same scenario cited in the consolidations and scalability examples described above, imagine the impact of a decision to add a column, track a new element, add a new category of spending or a new line of business. 

5)  Spreadsheets are problematic to inspect and audit. We’ve all seen it. Your spreadsheet doesn’t cross foot or total up to what’s in the submitted budget or spending report. Consider a budget that was fine on Monday but is now not footing on Tuesday. Who changed it and where was the change made. What’s your audit trail?

Marteq's insight:

ESPECIALLY THE AUDIT TRAIL! Once you start going down the .xls trail, we won't see you for another two weeks. Marketo and others offer financial management tools as a part of MA: doesn't it make sense that results from campaigns are auto-rolled into your budget from one location?

5 Free Excel Add-Ins to Help Digital Marketers Decipher Big Data - ClickZ

5 Free Excel Add-Ins to Help Digital Marketers Decipher Big Data - ClickZ | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Summary...


To turn your raw data into an asset, many powerful add-ins have been built to plug in to Excel.

  • GeoFlow for 3D geographic visualization: The Excel team just released a new free Excel add-in called GeoFlow that displays geographic data using Bing Maps to tell your story in a 3D visualization. The visualizations attract attention, are easily understood, and can even be incorporated into dashboards.
  • PowerPivot and Power View for massive data crunching: Another key tool in Excel is PowerPivot, included with Excel 2010 and 2013. PowerPivot is pivot tables on steroids. PowerPivot can load even the largest data sets from almost any source and process this massive amount of data in seconds. After the initial learning curve, it's surprisingly lightweight.
  • Bing Ads Intelligence for rich PPC data: Need keyword ideas or bid estimates by position? Bing Ads intelligence, a free add-in from Bing Ads, can give you the number of searches per search term, cost-per-click data, keyword ideas, age/gender data, and even more.
  • Excellent Analytics pulls in analytics data directly into Excel: Spending too much time on reports? Excellent Analytics lets you pull Google Analytics data directly into Excel. There is a free, open-source version that has been downloaded tens of thousands of times by marketers looking to automate reporting.
  • SeoTools for Excel for robust SEO-specific tasks: Last but not least is a free set of SEO tools, fittingly called SeoTools for Excel. This donation-supported toolset adds many SEO-specific tasks to the Excel ribbon. Mitch Monsen from WhiteFireSEO says, "It has one of the most robust feature sets I've seen in an extension, and Nielsen is updating it constantly. It has mind-boggling scraping capabilities (get a proxy if you plan on using them a lot) and a ton of on-page analysis tools."
Marteq's insight:

THIS IS GREAT STUFF!!!! We're all Excel jockeys, and this is a tremendous collection of Excel add-ons to make our lives easier. Look: it's certainly NOT a Big Data solution...more like a Little Data solution, but that's OK as these add-ons will be very helpful. We're looking forward to jumping into Excellent Analytics.
