Choose a date or category to group by and one measure to summarize. Build a PivotTable, turn the result into a chart, and write a short explanation of the pattern. Include the source, dataset version, and your metric definition with the workbook.
Review dates, identifiers, numbers, and missing values before calculating totals. A customer identifier is not necessarily a number you should add, and an empty cell does not automatically mean zero.
Choose a prepared workbook for a simpler reporting exercise. Use the source tables when your project involves combining records or checking relationships. Each dataset page explains what its downloads contain.
Learn how grouping, joins, and clear metric definitions carry into SQL and repeatable analytics workflows.
