What is a Macro?If you have tasks in Excel that you do repeatedly, you can record a macro to automate those tasks. When you create a macro you are recording your mouse clicks and keystrokes.
We are going to create a macro in this example to auto-magically prepare all reports.
In one click Excel will:
• Freeze top row
• Wrap Header Text
• Justify Columns
• Apply Filters
• Create it once and use it over and over again!
• Start by opening your FTE Detail report from the data collector.

What is Conditional Formatting?
Conditional formatting is a way to format cells that meet a criteria you
specify. In this example, we are going to apply formatting to FTE detail
rows where the adjusted FTE is different than the original FTE.
• Start by opening your FTE detail report
• Run your macro
11/9/2018
22
Apply Conditional Formatting
Select columns P & Q. On the Home tab select conditional formatting, and
then highlight cells rules, and then more rules.
11/9/2018

Apply Conditional Formatting
Click format to specify how you want the cells to look.
Use the fill tab to choose a fill color
Choose OK once formatted to your liking.
Type the following equation: =$P1<>$Q1
Choose OK to apply conditional formatting

Conditional Formatting
You can now view your formatting. For adjusted FTE lower than original
FTE, use the FTE Adjustments report to troubleshoot or verify.

25
Removing Conditional Formatting
To remove conditional formatting, on the home tab choose Conditional
Formatting, then clear rules, then clear rules from entire sheet.

Text to Columns
• How to use
11/9/2018
27
Text to ColumnsText to columns is a feature within excel that can split a column the way you would like to see it. For example, let’s say we are performing an upload and the birth month, date, and year must all be in separate columns. We have an export with the students’ birthdate on it. We need to have 3 blank columns to the right of the birthdate in order to perform text to columns. Select the column with the birthdate in it and choose Text to Columns from the data tab.
11/9/2018
28
Text to Columns cont’dThe text to columns wizard will pop up. The first prompt we see asks if we are
splitting the text delimited (using a character) or fixed width (a certain position
within the column). For the example we are using delimited. Click “Next.”
11/9/2018
29
Text to Columns cont’d
Choose the delimiter. The backslash is not an option in the list, so we will
check the “other” box and type a backslash in the box. Then click “Next.”
11/9/2018
30
Text to Columns cont’d
The last prompt is a preview and it asks how you would like the output to
be formatted. The default setting is “General,” but we want to select
“Text”. Next Click “Finish.”
11/9/2018
31
Text to Columns
We now have the components of the birth dates in separate columns! You
can name the columns “Birth Month” “Birth date” and “Birth Year”.

Pivot TablesGenerate Reports Quickly
• What is a Pivot Table?• How to use• How to remove• EMIS Examples
11/9/2018
33
Pivot Tables
Pivot tables are a powerful and helpful Excel tool. These tables take very
large amounts of data and summarize it in the way we specify.
There are many ways we can use Pivot tables in EMIS. Here are a few
examples of when we would use a pivot table:
• Quickly summarize special education students (Example)
• Easily verify calendars
• Summarize FTE report
• Start by opening your FTE detail report
11/9/2018
34
Summarize SPED Students
Select the entire sheet. On the Insert tab, choose Pivot Table
11/9/2018
35
Summarize SPED Students
Choose OK to begin building the pivot table on a new sheet.
11/9/2018
36
Summarize SPED Students
Use the Pivot Table fields dialogue box to build the report. Drag the Grade
Level field to rows, and the disability condition code to columns. Drag
Adjusted SPECED Cat FTE to the values.
11/9/2018
37
Summarize SPED Students
In the values square, make sure you are seeing the SUM of the FTE. Click
the arrow to the right and choose “Value Field Settings” to change this.
Once you have the desired value, choose OK.
11/9/2018
38
Summarize SPED Students
Now you can see the FTE you are generating for each disability category in
each grade level.
11/9/2018
39
Summarize SPED Students
You can take it one step further by adding a filter. You could filter by
district of residence, or even FTE Fund Pattern code. In this example we
will filter using district of residence. Choose the districts you’d like to see.
11/9/2018
40
Summarize SPED Students
You can now view your report the way you set it up. You can make any
updates to this using the pivot table options. Right click on the pivot table
and choose refresh to refresh the pivot table data if needed. Since the
Pivot table is on it’s own sheet, simply delete if no longer needed.

V-Lookup
• What is V-Lookup?• How to use• EMIS Examples
11/9/2018
42
What is V-Lookup?
The V-Lookup function in Excel will lookup and retrieve data from a
specific column in a table. Lookup values must appear in the first column
of the table, with lookup columns to the right.
In this example, we are going to:
• Use V-Lookup to insert the district name using the IRN number
• Use V-Lookup to verify staff years of experience
• Start by opening your FTE-Detail report from the data collector and
apply your macro to format it.
11/9/2018
43
Using V-Lookup to add District Names
When generating reports, it can be helpful to include the names that are
associated with the district IRN. In this example, we will add the district of
residence name to the FTE detail report.
• Generate a list of IRNs and district names from OEDS.
Choose OEDS Data from the menu
11/9/2018
44
Generate a list of IRNs
Under District, check “Public District” and choose “Generate Report”
Open the report in Excel
11/9/2018
45
Prepare FTE Report for V-Lookup
Add a column to the right of the District of Residence IRN column, Column
S. Do this by right-clicking Column T, and choosing Insert. Name this
column as desired
11/9/2018
46
Use the Wizard to Write the Formula
With your cursor in cell T2, use the Insert Function button to open the
function arguments dialogue box. Choose V-Lookup from the list and
choose OK.
11/9/2018
47
Use the Wizard to Write the Formula cont’d
State the function arguments. In the Lookup_Value, choose the District of
Residence IRN from your FTE detail spreadsheet (Cell S2). Click into the
table_array box and go to the OEDS export. Use your cursor to select all
IRN numbers and names.
11/9/2018
48
Use the Wizard to Write the Formula cont’d
In the column index number, we specify which column of data in our
selection we want returned to us. Since we want the district names, we
will put a 2 because this is in the second column of our table array.
11/9/2018
49
Use the Wizard to Write the Formula cont’d
The range lookup is false.
Verify the preview makes sense
Click OK
11/9/2018
50
View District Names
You can now see the names populated in cell T2. Double click on the green
square in the bottom right hand corner to populate the names in the
whole column.
11/9/2018
51
Copy & Paste Values
When you use V-Lookup, the values you are seeing are actually a part of a
formula. To keep this data there, no matter how we may re-arrange our
spreadsheets, we need to copy and paste values. Copy Column T and paste
it back in column T, using “Paste Values”.
11/9/2018
52
V-Lookup for Staff
We are going to use V-Lookup to verify teacher years of experience. Open
the CI and CK from the data collector.
11/9/2018
53
V-Lookup for Staff
On the CK, in Column AH, add the header “Years of Experience.”
11/9/2018
54
V-Lookup for Staff
With your cursor in cell AH2, use the Insert Function button to open the
function arguments dialogue box. Choose V-Lookup from the list and
choose OK.
11/9/2018
55
V-Lookup for Staff
The lookup value is cell
F2, where the staff ID is.
The table array is everything from the CI record. Starting with the staff ID in column J and ending with years of experience in column Q. Use your cursor to make this selection.
The authorized years of experience is the 8th column in our selection. Range lookup is false.
11/9/2018
56
V-Lookup for Staff
Once your formula looks right, click OK. Double click this green square to fill the formula all the way down
11/9/2018
57
V-Lookup for Staff
Copy & Pasta values. You could then go on to filter or sort by position
code. This gives you a nice report to have verified.
