Townfolio’s platform automates the collection, visualisation and updates for millions of indicators.

Webinar: Designing 3D Excel Maps - Social Planning Council of Ottawa

January 22, 1:00pm Eastern Time

Alexandre Mayer will share his knowledge and his step by step instructions for using Excel 3D maps. Alex provides examples including using data straight from the Community Data Program catalogue to create maps to visualize and analyze data. Excel 3D is an interesting tool because geospatial data can be shared with other people without requiring GIS software or an online tool. This workshop requires Excel 2016, although Excel 2013 does have a prototype version as an add-in called “Power Map.” Join us for an introduction and step by step guide to using Excel 3D maps to display and analyse your community data. 

You can register for this event here.

 

Both webinars will be held in this Adobe Connect room: https://cdp.adobeconnect.com/webinar. 

Feel free to log in 15-30 minutes before the start of the webinar to test your audio connection. You will be able to post questions via a chat function.

Participation in the webinar is limited to 100 logins and the event is open to all CDP members.
