If you're writing macros you're scoping your analysis wrong ;)

1) Sample 4 lines of whatever you want

2) Make a pretty chart

3) Get a client to tell you an anecdote that supports the conclusion you and your exec sponsor want to hear.

4) Make it so on 1 slide and tell the "front line story" to the exec.

You work too hard.

TT

I didn't have any staff that could program when I had to write my VBA... automated myself out of a job at the client that way. :)

Big problems getting (and keeping) people with technical talent.

Don’t you guys use alteryx instead of wasting time writing VBA?

Don’t you have staff to do these mundane things for you?

M1: agree 100%

I needed to create a list of tens of thousands of items automatically from two input lists. Was easier for me to just write a nested series of do while loops than anything else I could think of

I use Excel, R, and Alteryx as appropriate.

The client wanted any tools made in their standard software environment and maintainable, and it pulled a lot of CSV based firewall rulesets into their enabler, parsed text, and applied the rubric of the compliance rules to the rest of the evidence. They were happy, because it reduced the amount of time manually doing one (two days) to a half hour with additional consistency.

Text parsing isn't really Alteryx's forte and I had constraints outside of what the hot tool is at the moment. Not everything in sheets is analytics based....

@manager 1 agreed on text parsing in alteryx. Absolutely hate RegEx but it’s powerful

Signs I’m getting old: I tripped and fell, and somehow partially tore my ACL. Have to figure out if I want surgery, and how to tell the team—at the very least, I’ll need a ton of PT. I’m a first year associate and the only woman on all of my teams, so I’m freaking out about how this is going to reflect on me. I know I’m overthinking this, health comes first, etc…but I’m still so scared to tell people.
