Is this you? Every month you scramble madly to produce your standard reports. There’s so much to do: data collection; the tedious and error-prone poking data into specific cells; tweak the charts to include the new data; check that none of those awful “#####” errors display; then hurry up, Boss wants the reports by the 4th! Augh!
If this sounds like you, check out this short, 8-minute video.
In the video, I show a standard monthly report, produced with no errors, having 5 separate charts and a 12-month data table, all updated in only 3 steps. Yes, that’s right, 3 steps. 1) import the data, 2) Update the Pivot Tables, 3) Print or email the report. DONE!
I promise you that many of your reports can be much more automated than they are now. Try it out with one of your reports. You’ll be amazed how much time you’ll save. Share your problems in the comments and I’ll try to help.

Do you ever wonder why recruiters are not contacting you with job opportunities? Have you ever applied for a job then never received any response? In both cases, there could be many reasons why. Many of which you have no control over. But if you had the power to remove one if the most important reasons you don’t hear from recruiters, would you do it? Would you?
Sure, it could be a bit labor intensive, especially if you needed to comb through all your existing contacts to assign any newly-created tags. But tags were a very handy way to filter your connections nonetheless.
