The "people" data from Kevin needs to be aggregated, and added to existing faculty info, for it to be useful.


Kevin provides two spreadsheets whenever he kindly provides us with a snapshot (monthly?). One is the "grad" spreadsheet (from Pat Hine's data), and the other is a "staff" spreadsheet (from Sharon de Roos's data).

Oliver has a third "faculty" spreadsheet (data from Joyce Boda); not updated except by hand.

Copy previous "master" list as a template for the new master list.

Use convention "CCBpeople__YYYYMM"

This is now the current, date-stamped, people's "master" list.

This copying of the spreadsheet carries over all sorts of adjustments, such as:

Delete all but the faculty entries

Prepare grad data and paste into "master" spreadsheet

Add "Grad" to title of each person in the "grad" spreadsheet.

Concatenate Chair and the Chair type.

Cut-and-pasted people data from "grad" spreadsheet into "master" spreadsheet (C-G => A-E)

Clean up NetID's from Grad data in final sheet

Rearrange columns in staff spreadsheet to match master

Cut-and-pasted people data from "staff" spreadsheet into "master" spreadsheet (columns A-F => D-I)

In "master", fill out email address and full name columns

Determine changes of people between months

Copy spreadsheets of two months to compare into a directory.

Open spreadsheets and sort them the same. Such as Data => Sort:

  1. Supervisor/ Chair
  2. Last name
  3. Firstname

Copy old data into new spreadsheet.

Code for column "F". For Grads:

For Staff:

Code for column "H":

Fill in column "G" sequentially, 2 through to the end.

Insert rows ("down") in either data set (the one on the right, or the one on the left) to get them to match up again.
