Spreadsheets are widely used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry as an easy means to view large amounts of data. What many firms don't realize is that depending upon how the spreadsheets are used, they require validation to demonstrate that the data upon which quality decisions are being made, is reported accurately and reproducibly. This course will provide the necessary information to allow your organization to determine the appropriate amount of testing necessary, as well as how to design, use, and organize the spreadsheet to report the data in a useful manner.

This course will cover the use of spreadsheets to report data from the inception of the spreadsheet (user requirement specification), through the development process, validation, and use. In addition, useful tools to report and view the data will be demonstrated.
