logoSpreadsheet analysis of Kiva's Export


Description

Using the data from Kiva's export button this file allows you to better analyse the loans that you have made. No macros are used, all data manipulation is carried out using functions, formulas and calculations.
All you have to do is cut and paste the data from Kiva's export into the analysis spreadsheet.
If you have any suggestions for modifications or additions please let me know via Kivafriends.org and I will try an incorporate them.

If you would prefer an online solution, which will also provide you with a map and many other cool features, I suggest you check out the Editgrid version.

Instructions for use

  1. Download and extract the relevant version of the analysis spreadsheet.
  2. Download a copy of your data using Kiva's export button: http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=account&action=loans&export_excel=1 (will open in your web browser and ask you to log in to Kiva.org if you are not already)
  3. From the newly downloaded file select all data from the 'My loans' tab (using CTRL-A : CTRL-C)
  4. Goto 'My loans' tab in this document and overwrite all existing data (use CTRL-A : CTRL V or Paste Special) the resulting pasted data must remain as text.
  5. Goto 'Summary' tab and refresh the data in the country table by right clicking in the bounding box and selecting refresh (the rest of the data in the file should automatically recalculate and update – depending on your settings) //I think the same effect can be had by closing the file (remember to save changes) and opening

To do

  1. Work out how to deal with Defaulted loan calculations (particularly when summing the summary data. Currently amount loaned does not take into account these types of loan status. //thankfully I don't have any of these
  2. Identify new summary stats to be calculated – suggestions welcome.

Known issues

  1. If you only have a few loans the 6,000 lines of calculations can slow down calculations (and cause bloat) if required delete excessive lines.
  2. Reading of 'My loan' data into 'Details' only runs to line 6,000 ie more than 5,999 loans and errors will start to appear //should not bother most people, enough for Kay for a couple more years perhaps :-)
  3. Calculations in the 'Summary' tab only take into account the first 6,000 lines ie more than 5,999 loans and they will not be included in calculations //should not bother most people, enough for Kay for a couple more years perhaps :-)
  4. Will break horribly if Kiva changes the format of the export file.
  5. Excel versions don't include count of unique countries (as in Openoffice version)
