Class 11

Integrating Analytical Skills: Conclusion

Description

This class concludes the undertaking of workflows that integrate data preparation and analytical techniques through a structured accounting problem. As mentioned in earlier classes, combining these skills is important because answering accounting questions generally requires multiple steps rather than a single analytical technique. We will use Alyterx's SparkEd cases in this class.

Motivation

Can we work independently through an accounting process to answer questions from data?

Review

This class directly follows the prior two classes. As in the prior class, this class will focus on hand-on work with Alteryx to solve a problem presented in a case. This class focuses on attempting to solve the GL Clean Up workflow and one of the three more challenging cases: organizing financial reporting data, international group taxes, or the sales and use case.
