I'm not sure about this; GIS really got burned from being both a 'science' and a 'product' from the beginning, and there are blurry lines between what I think is essential and what I don't know because I never do it and am not a GIS person. Anyway.

A No-Bullshit Intro to Maps and GIS

  1. What Maps Are
  2. Data
  3. Information
  4. Transformation

Walkthrough of how to download the massive FEC individual contributions file for 2016, and filter it for spreadsheet usage

Fitting 2016 FEC campaign donor data into your humble spreadsheet

The 2016 U.S. Election is so hot and rich that even with a month to go, the Federal Election Commission has recorded 12.6 million individual campaign donations.

For comparison's sake, the 2014 cycle had just 2.1 million donors. And the last presidential cycle, 2012, had 3.3 million donors.

The bottom line is that we can't import all the data directly into Excel (nevermind Google Sheets). But we can at least import the subset of data that we need (under a million rows) without having to crack out a database.
