Two weeks ago, I invited you to dive into our 15-minute Starter Exercise.

We designed it to be the ultimate crash course in core data analytics concepts: cleaning, transforming, joining, aggregating, visualizing, and automating.

The goal was to give you everything you need to get any data job done with Columns Flow after 15 minutes exercise.

Sounds incredibly beneficial, right?

In reality, our completion rate was painfully low. But the feedback you shared was incredibly eye-opening (and I truly appreciate the honesty):

“I only have 3 minutes for you!”

“It is not intuitive as expected…”

“I don’t want to become an analyst, I just want my data to be sorted out”

I took this to heart and asked myself: Can we shrink this exercise down to under a minute and ensure everyone who starts actually finishes it?

Well, we did one better. It now takes 15 seconds instead of 15 minutes to complete.


Now, you don’t have to be an expert in Excel, SQL, or data automation. Just bring your data and type your intent into the box.

Try it today: Columns Flow.
