Reproduce Pre-Configured Report

Follow these instructions to replicate the pre-configured reports located throughout the website. For all of the various reports, change or select only the options listed. All of the other aggregations and filters can be ignored. For some reports, the data will need to be manipulated after the full report has been generated. For example, the college-going rates exclude students with unknown genders and ethnicities. To match the numbers on the pre-configured page, these data must be deleted from the results. Square brackets, [], around an option or title indicates that it is a placeholder for a selection or input.

Instructions These instructions assume that you have some familiarity with how the Custom Data Report System works and some experience using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or a database program such as Microsoft Access to manipulate the downloaded data. Information about how to use the Custom Data Report System can be found in the Instructions and in the step-by-step walk through of an example report.
