Instructions for Using the Networking Events Spreadsheet

Adding an Event:

Navigate to the "Data Entry" tab.

Enter the event details in the appropriate columns:

Date: Use the format MM/DD/YYYY.

Time: Use the format HH:MM AM/PM.

Event Name: Provide the official name of the event.

Location: Include the venue name and address.

Notes: Add any additional details, such as registration links, fees, or important reminders.

Viewing Events:

Navigate to the "Summary Sheet" tab to see all upcoming events in order of date and time.

Past events are automatically excluded from the summary.

On the "Data Entry" tab, past events will be greyed out to help you visually distinguish them from future events.

Updating or Correcting an Event:

Go to the "Data Entry" tab and locate the event you want to update.

Make the necessary edits directly in the row.

Best Practices:

Double-check all entries for accuracy to ensure the summary sheet is up-to-date.

Avoid deleting rows; instead, mark them as "Completed" in the notes if necessary.

Ensure all dates and times are formatted correctly to avoid errors in the summary sheet.

Do Not Edit the Summary Sheet:

The "Summary Sheet" is automated. Any changes should be made in the "Data Entry" tab, which will reflect automatically in the summary.
