That’s why we’re sharing some tips to help you save time and streamline your work.
Tips for migrating data with Excel
Knowing a few Excel tricks can make your life easier. While many people are familiar with the tool’s basic functions, here are some key tips to ensure a smooth data migration process so that no voter is left out:
- Keep your data organized and up to date. Identify the type of data you have and structure it properly in rows and columns.
- Fix any errors you find. You can enable or disable error checking rules, but always double-check that your data is accurate to prevent calculation or processing mistakes.
- Update voter delegations or weighting factors. This ensures that the results reflect the correct voting power of each participant.
- Choose an online voting platform that allows you to store and manage your voter roll. Import your data and verify that everything has transferred correctly after migration.
