The interviewer wants to gain insight into how you work through problems. They also want to make sure that you have experience analyzing data and providing results. Though this specific skill may not be required in all Office Administrator roles, if the interviewer asks you about the skill, it is likely important for this position.

Provide your best anecdote to answer this question. Briefly tell the interviewer about a project you worked on where you were given data and reviewed it to provide either results or a recommendation.
Data is usually numerical, but it does not necessarily have to be. If you feel you have analyzed something less quantifiable to provide either great results or a recommendation, don't hesitate to give the interviewer that example!

Avoid worrying too much about providing the best example you can. If your mind goes completely blank, tell the interviewer that you simply have a case of nerves and would love to follow up with them later in the day. If you do this, you must NOT forget to follow up!

"I was able to save my company almost 10k each year by switching office supply vendors. After reviewing the invoices we received, I realized we were overpaying for some of the supplies we used most, such as copy paper and staples. I reached out to multiple competing vendors to get quotes and made the recommendation to my leadership team that we switch. They were excited that we could save on costs with a switch that they would never notice."
