Coming in January 2013 CDA will add ACCESS data base to the Excel and PDF formats we now offer. The ACCESS data base will contain five years worth of data in one file. The file can be sorted, searched and printed. It will contain over 18,000 records.
CDA will be offering a introduction seminar in December to review the new offering. We will also be offering one on one education.
Cummings Data Analysis, LLC can be replicated in counties ranging in size from 40,000 to 250,000 people. It is a part time job that can give you about $40 per hour. This is a great opportunity to augment your retirement income. In counties larger than 250,000 people it is no longer a part time endeavor but may require multiple employees.
Skills required are:
1: Must have 40 hours month time (you set your own hours) –
2: Executive skill level with Excel – Word – ACCESS and general computer knowledge –
3: Personnel skills to work with customer executives in the real estate sector including Bank Presidents – Real Estate Brokers – Construction developers – Appraisers – Land developers – Home Builders etc.
I am available to train you to get started – or if you are not completely comfortable with advanced Excel formatting I can offer a continued service to format the data, you collect, and deliver the formatted data to your clients as a partner or contracted added value consultant.
If you are using OO Calc and are having trouble displaying the numbers for Owner to Owner sales or Trustee to Bank sales then you have to set a switch in Calc to make it read the Excel formulas correctly.
It is easy to set the switch but it is a step you have to do before opening the Excel file CDA sends in order to read the number of foreclosures and owner to owner transfers.
Now wasn’t that easy? Well maybe not. If this is confusing just give Bill a call when you have the file in Calc and he will try to walk you through the process. 🙂
Sorting your Excel files is easy to do but you need to be cautious when setting up the sort criterion.
My first suggestion if you are going to save the sorted file (in lieu of just temporarily working with a sorted file) is to rename and save the file before starting any sorting. This will assure you do not lose the original file.
The first step will be to select the cells you want to include in the sort.
Don’t understand these instruction? Just give me a call and we can walk through the process on the phone.
If you mess up a CDA file just send me an e-mail and I will resend the file in error.
