The Pie Maker Automating the Fact Book Creation Process David Onder & Alison Joseph SAIR

9608 students Master’s Comprehensive Mountain location Residential and Distance 2

Why did we do this? Old process Access queries and SAS runs Manual data entry and formatting in Excel 3 Problems Error prone Long time to complete Only one level of data Inconsistent formatting Lack of SAS skills

How could we fix this? 4 PushPullvs Cons Lack of SAS skills Not easily pushed to web Cons Pictures and column spacing Timing issues Pros SAS is very powerful Easy to create multiple levels of reports Pros “Easy” to learn Handled by entry level position and students Resists issues with staff turnover

Gap Analysis 5 Have Access DBs per term Existing Excel tables and graphs Desire to overlap with other IR processes Need Combined Access DBs Automated Excel tables and graphs Consistent, well-defined format

General Approach Major revision to fact book look (see It’s Not About Pie…) Restructure existing Excel workbooks (standardized) Modify existing sheet as Report sheet (based on Process) Build Data sheet Build Process sheet based on Data (calculations here) Build Access queries Connect Excel Data sheet to Access query Build Factbook using Adobe InDesign 6
