This doc serves as an addition to the webinar, and covers the following:

The act of successfully switching from a spreadsheet to a database comprises the following five steps, which we will tackle together:

Understand the differences between spreadsheets and databases

⁠

How to switch from spreadsheets to databases⁠

Move your data out of your existing spreadsheet

This requires transforming your current data set-up, to ensure that it’s fulfills a database’s requirements

⁠

Goodbye, Spreadsheet!⁠

Move your data into your database

Import your data into Coda, define the relationship between your data points and set up your views

⁠

Hello, Database!⁠

Use it during your daily work

Repeat for new processes

I’ll cut you a deal - I’ll care of the first three steps and you’ll tackle the remaining two. You’ll be more than capable to do so once we’re done.

Deal? Well then,

Let's GO!
