Hints on Retrieving the Top 10 Series for the AEP From HQ BOA
This is the raw data from BOA exported to excel (see the export power points)
You can filter the raw data by PATCOB by using the auto filter
You can select administrative and professional but pay attention to the and/or conditions
unsorted The data is not sorted but it is filtered as you can see by the change of color in the rows
This is the sort dialog [under Data] box and you can use this to sort the filtered data. Look carefully at the ascending v descending options
Using the raw data you can also use a pivot table to filter the data even more
You can simplify the selection process by starting with a pivot table (also called a cross tab) then follow the wizard steps to the layout button
Make sure you have the dotted lines going around your data set. If they are not, restart your steps
By adding the PATCOB and Grade fields you can filter your choices even more. Just drag them to the page box
You can filter the results even further by clicking the series field in the layout and getting the advanced button
You can use these settings to determine the results that you’ll get. Read the options carefully and use the ones that suit you best
You’ll get the top 10 based on the sum But you’ll also see that because the grade field was included in the page of the layout that you can select the grades you want and this result allows you to select the top 10 series for grade 15..14.. 13 .. Etc.
You can see here that professional grade 13 was selected. But remember that this entire selection is based on the top ten series that was set in the pivot table.
Once you have selected the series and grades you need you can add the other EEO fields.
But when you use these advanced features pay attention to the results.. Just don’t click click click simply because the button is there Because of the multiple Asian RNO values, you will have to calculate the percentages in a more traditional way so that the multiple Asian values are reduced to Asian men and Asian women
