Don't try to tackle your biggest data challenge.
Take a small sample of your "list" (e.g., 10-20 items).
Apply the technique you chose in step 3.
Try to achieve a specific "data" outcome from this small list.
Review and Reflect (5 minutes):
What worked well?
What challenges did you face?
What specific skill or function did you learn/improve?
Example Scenario (If "LIST TO DATA" means extracting structured data from an unstructured text list):
Let's say you have a list of customer feedback, where each item is a free-text string like:
"Order #1234, Product A, Excellent Service, 5 Stars"
"Order #5678, Product B, Slow Shipping, 3 Stars"
60-Minute Plan:
Goal (5 min): Convert this list into a table with columns: "Order ID", "Product", brother cell phone list "Feedback", "Rating".
Tool (5 min): Google Sheets (for ease of use) and basic Regular Expressions.
Technique Focus (40 min):
Paste the list into a single column in Google Sheets.
Extract Order ID: Use REGEXEXTRACT with a pattern like "#(\d+)".
Extract Product: Use REGEXEXTRACT or SPLIT if a clear delimiter exists.
Extract Rating: Use REGEXEXTRACT with a pattern like (\d+)\s+Stars.
Practice these formulas on your sample data.
Practice (remaining time): Apply the formulas to your sample list. Adjust the regex patterns as needed.
Review (5 min): See if you got the desired structured data.
Please provide more context about what you mean by "LIST TO DATA" so I can give you a more tailored and effective plan for your 60 minutes!
