Follow-up Tips from Ari and Josh

  • The data that matters for Ari might not be the same as what matters for Josh or for you. Ask yourself “what questions am I looking to answer, or problems am I looking to solve by seeking out data?”Don’t be a solution in search of a problem.
  • Sumif, Countif, X-Lookup, and Array formulas are the primary formulas you will need. Focus your learning on these.
  • ​Create a plan to regularly review important data observations and formulate action steps.
  • Not all data is created equal! Look at it closely and use it to prioritize your work. Two synagogues with 60% retention may not merit the same attention if one is 6 of 10 campers and the other is 120 of 200. Camp directors are busy; better to spend your time understanding why 80 kids from one demographic are not returning to camp than chasing those other 4.
