Creating the Analysis sheet


The first sheet we will create is the Analysis sheet; as the current Dashboard sheet already contains a few of the metrics that we want on that sheet, first, let's change the name of the sheet from Dashboard to Analysis:

  1. Right-click anywhere on the sheet workspace and choose Properties.

  2. Navigate to the General tab and enter Analysis in the Title input field.
