Hello World. I'm doing the last step in my office assistant decision table.

In The Next Step what I'm going to do is reduce this table.

And the first thing I can do is say.

If they don't know Word.

They do not get an interview.

No matter where they know no Access Excel or what their words per minute are so I'm just going to put a star here to indicate that it doesn't matter.

This doesn't matter.

And then I can get rid of.

All of these other rows where Word is no.

Right click.

And pick Delete. So, if they don't know Word, these are.

Not important they don't get an interview.

Let's look up there something else we can delete, one of the things, I mean reduce, one of the things we could do would be to sort it.

Let's do a sort - my data has headers- and let's sort it by

Interview, by the result.

And that will group things together that are the same.

I'm going to undo that.

Back to our.

Let's take a look here we have.

If they don't know Access and they don't know Excel.

It does not matter how many words per minute.

they have. Right?

Doesn't matter,it doesn't matter, so we can delete these two rows.

So, we've reduced this from.

by more than half.

We now have 11 rows. Let's see if there's anything else here we can reduce. Where do we see everything is the same.

With the same result except for one item.

Take a look if they don't know Access.

Is there any place where we get an interview?

There is.

If they don't know Excel is there any place to get an interview? Yes

Can we combine these we have yes yes yes.

But, This one's different.

Didn't get an interview if it's less than 30 words per minute. We could.

Combine these.

And just call it.

Greater than 30, if we wanted to do that.

But I'm going to leave that for now you can look for ways to reduce and every situation is going to be slightly different.

You'd have to look at it and examine it maybe sort by the result and see if there's some place you can reduce it. It does make it easier if you can reduce it somewhat.

And that's it for now.
