Comment: Added file names

...

Apply GDS style, namely spell out acronyms on first appearance, spell out abbreviations, remove unnecessary bold. Italics can stay for species names.

Metadata

Check the metadata (File > Properties > Advanced Properties) that 

  • the Title field has the correct and full title, in sentence case (no underscores etc)
  • the Author field has UK Health Security Agency of UKHSA
  • sometimes authors include Keywords though these are optional

File name

File names must make sense when read out and not be a string of abbreviations and numbers. If it's a long document title use your initiative to sub-edit down to 60 characters or so.

Words must be separated by hyphens, no space or underscore.

For full details search for 'File names' on Releasing statistics in spreadsheets.

Final review

Control + G again to double check all tables are marked up and named.

Use Control + Page down to scroll through the spreadsheet checking that:

  • the cursor is in cell A1 on every worksheet
  • cell A2 reads 'This worksheet contains one table.' (with a full stop)
  • there are no empty rows or columns
  • the table separated from text above by dragging cell border down a little
  • column headers in bold
  • data columns are all right aligned
