"In my previous role, I was responsible for running several reports for the ward. We were transitioning from paper to electronic platforms during one period, and I ran a report to audit the data periodically. I found that our admission and discharge report was not pulling data correctly, and I needed to identify the problem quickly. Since it was a new process, I didn't have any colleagues to consult, so I broke the report down into smaller chunks of data. This allowed me to reconcile the information quicker because I could scan each column to see what was not aligning. By manually adding up the information, I discovered that one column contained an incorrect sum formula. I adjusted this formula, the report began running correctly, and the problem was resolved. When faced with a problem like this, I self-help as much as possible, and if I'm still struggling, I ask a colleague for support or research possible solutions online."
