Introduction:

During my enriching tenure as a data analyst intern at Abhyaz, I delved into the depths of Zoho CRM and Excel, unravelling complexities and deriving actionable insights. Let's explore the two tasks that shaped my internship experience.

Internship Experience:

As a data analyst intern at Abhyaz for a month, my role involved tackling complex data challenges and contributing to enhancing operational efficiency. During my month-long tenure, I was entrusted with two pivotal tasks that provided me with hands-on experience in data manipulation, automation, and insights generation.

Projects:

Project 1: Invoices in Zoho CRM

Manual Renewal Text Insertion in Zoho CRM

Step 1: Template Customization

The initial step involved customizing the template to include a dedicated "Add-On Clause" section. This section would accommodate the manually added renewal terms.

 

Step 2: Personalized Renewal Text Insertion

Utilizing Zoho CRM's user-friendly interface, the team manually added personalized renewal terms to the "Add-On Clause" section for each customer's template.

 

Step 3: Transparent Communication

The company was able to communicate the renewal terms clearly and transparently, ensuring that customers had a comprehensive understanding of the renewal process.

Project 2: 60:40 ratio Data Distribution Balance in Excel

Step 1:Defining the Challenge

 

The goal is to segregate these entries into two groups while maintaining a 60:40 ratio based on the cumulative value and vendor count.

 

Step 2:Laying the Foundation

 

Opening the Excel file containing the data and designate a new column titled "Group."

 

Step 3:Calculating Cumulative Metrics

 

We start by calculating the total sum of values and the total count of vendors using simple formulas.

 

Step 4:Determining Thresholds

 

Employ formulas to calculate 40% of the total sum and vendor count. Craft formulas for running totals and running vendor counts.

 

Step 5:Making Critical Decisions

 

We use `IF` formula, depending on whether a data entry's running total and running vendor count exceed their respective thresholds, it will be assigned to either "Group1" or "Group2."

 

Step 6:Ensuring Balance Through Visualization

 

We create pivot table which provides insights into the sum of values and the percentage distribution, helping you monitor whether the 60:40 balance is being maintained.

Conclusion:

From streamlining CRM interactions to mastering Excel's finesse, our tenure at Abhyaz demonstrated the transformative power of data. By enhancing communication clarity and meticulously handling numerical distributions, we learned that harnessing technology and meticulous analysis empowers precision, transparency, and efficiency.
