In this comprehensive course, a follow-up to QuickBooks/Excel Data Analysis Part 1, expert David Ringstrom, CPA, demonstrates even more ways you can analyze data from QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online. Among other topics, David covers how to flatten multiple-column reports back into a list format for further analysis, how users of Excel 2016 and later can visually present a summary profit and loss report in chart form by way of Waterfall charts, how users of Excel 2013 and later can implement the Bing Maps add-in to transform summary data into interactive maps, and how users of earlier versions of Excel can clean up their QuickBooks reports. 

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Bing Maps: The Bing Maps app for Office helps you use location data from a given column and plot it on a Bing Map. It also provides basic data visualization using your location data.

Concatenation: A technique that allows you to join two or more pieces of text together. Although its simplest to use the ampersand (&), you can also use the CONCATENATE function in Excel.

Filter: The Filter feature in Excel allows you to show or hide rows within a list of data by making selections from drop-down lists. The Filter feature is available on the Data tab of all versions of Excel as well under the Sort & Filter command on the Home menu.

General Ledger Report: The General Ledger report will show you the beginning balance, transactions and total for each account in your Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Pipe symbol: Alternatively referred to as a vertical bar, the pipe is a computer keyboard key "|" that is two vertical lines above one another and commonly looks like a full vertical line. This symbol is found on the same United States QWERTY keyboard key as the backslash key.

Pivot Table: A report creation tool in Excel that enables you to quickly summarize lists of data into summary reports by clicking checkboxes and dragging fields onscreen.

Protected View: To help protect your computer, files from these potentially unsafe locations are opened as read only or in Protected View. By using Protected View, you can read a file and see its contents and enable editing while reducing the risks.

QuickBooks Desktop: QuickBooks Desktop is a one-time purchase accounting software to be installed on your office desktop computer.

QuickBooks Online: QuickBooks Online is our cloud-based subscription service that gives you the freedom to work from any device — anytime, anywhere.

Reports: A report is a set of instructions that the program uses to display data from your company file. All available reports can be accessed through the QuickBooks Reports menu.

SUMIF: A look-up function in Excel that allows you to add up numbers based upon a criterion that you specify. Unlike VLOOKUP, the SUMIF function can add up two or more values and returns zero (instead of #N/A) if no match is found.

Slicer Feature: A visual filtering feature available with pivot tables in Excel 2010 and tables and pivot tables in Excel 2013.

Table Feature : The Table feature in Excel 2007 and later is an improvement on the List feature in Excel 2003 and earlier. The Table feature provides enhancements that make it much easier to analyze lists of data.

Text to Columns Wizard: An Excel feature which allows users to separate data from a single column within an Excel spreadsheet into two or more columns, or to remove unnecessary data from within a column.

Timeline: A visual filtering feature in Excel 2013 that enables you to filter data based on varying date ranges.

Total Row: A Total row appears below the data where each column has access to several automatic formulas. The default selection for the Total Row is none, meaning no function is selected when you first turn on the Total Row on your Table.

Waterfall Chart: An Excel 2016 chart that can distinguish how amounts contribute to a bottom-line figure, which is useful in illustrating certain financial statements. A waterfall chart can show total revenue, and then correspondingly how COGS, expenses, and other amounts compare in scale to net income. Waterfall charts are not visible when a workbook is opened in an earlier version of Excel.
