I recently audited how equitable some funds spend on new sidewalks had been in Bloomington, Indiana.
In the process I found that one column in the project ranking spreadsheet had been sorted in the wrong order for the last five years. This effectively scrambled the final rank order.
Excel was not fault, there was a lack of peer review and clear documentation about how the formula was supposed to work.

- ajcp 6y agoThank you for sharing! This is very interesting. Also, unsolicited but maybe helpful: if I have a link to a PDF on a site I try and call it out as a download in the description. "A two page executive summary is also available for download" I say this because even though browser settings can be set to NOT download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in the browser itself, for some reason that can vary from site to site. I click a link and all of a sudden I'm downloading something? Panic!
