  1. Do your materials conform to our Code of Conduct? yes

Hi @kglibrarian, thank you for your submission to The Carpentries Incubator! Do you have a sense of whether the approaches in the lesson would translate to other spreadsheet programs like Libre Office or Google Sheets? If so, we could use a lesson title like "Data cleaning, analysis, and visualization with spreadsheets", even if the lesson screenshots are in Excel. If the methods are only applicable to Excel, then the title referring specifically to Excel seems more appropriate.

Additionally, the lesson will have to be converted to use the Carpentries lesson template; you can take a look at the lesson example to find out more about the format.

If you'd like to proceed with transferring the lesson content to an Incubator repository using the lesson template, let me know, and I can create a new repository for you, give you administrative access, and set up a GitHub team where you can add other GitHub accounts as maintainers.
