Hi there,
I am posting this for myself, but I am sure a lot of other folks will appreciate whatever answers are posted in the thread.
What I am looking for is helpful tips and hints that folks use to ensure that their reports are accurate. I am sure we have all gone over a report at some point and noticed that our data was incorrect, either by an error we made or someone else.
How do you all go about making sure your report data is as accurate as possible and not faulty?
For myself, I really can't say I have a method of doing this. I report based on a call center environment so I will usually report on 1 day only and grind the numbers manually, but it took me 6 hours today to go through a fraction (around 2%) of the incidents so it is not always a plausible method to use and I told myself, 'surely someone out there has a much better method than this' so here I am...
Thanks!
