Summary:
Microsoft's 3D Mapping tool is a poor man's way of easily mapping a set of data directly from an Excel sheet. This tool is free and automatically included with Microsoft Excel 2013 and newer. All you need is a data set that contains some type of location information (address, x/y coordinates, latitude/altitude, etc). During the presentation, Diana will use a sample data and build a map from scratch. She will also show the benefit of using a table in order to update the data and how that in turn updates the created map automatically once refreshed. A handout with tip sheets will be provided and attendees will be able to refer to it during training and well as use it afterwards.
