This guide is made for anyone who wants a simple, clear way to use Sintra for data analysis—especially if you want a straightforward, visually organized tutorial. No confusion, just step-by-step help!
Step-by-step Instructions
1. Organize your data
Before you start, make sure your data is neatly arranged. This means placing your numbers (like sales, feedback, or website stats) into a spreadsheet, table, or report. Try to avoid typos, missing values, or mixed-up columns. Clean, well-labeled data helps Dexter work faster and gives you better insights.
The cleaner your data, the better Dexter can help.
2. Open a chat with Dexter
You can do this by selecting Dexter from the helper list. Once you’re in the chat, upload your data file directly or copy and paste your data into the chat window. If you have multiple files, start with the most important one or split your data into smaller pieces if it’s very large.
3. Ask a clear question
Think about what you want to learn from your data. Be as specific as possible. For example, instead of just asking for a summary, try:
What are the main trends in this data over the past year?
Which months had the highest sales and why?
Are there any unusual spikes or drops in the numbers? What could have caused them?
How does this year compare to last year?
The more details you give, the more useful Dexter’s answer will be. If you’re not sure how to phrase your question, start simple—Dexter can always help you refine it.
Don’t hesitate to ask follow-up questions if you want more details or a different angle.
4. Let Dexter analyze
After you send your question and data, Dexter will automatically review the information. Dexter checks for trends, patterns, and outliers, then summarizes the results in clear, plain language. This step can take a moment, especially with larger datasets. You’ll receive a summary that’s easy to understand, even if you’re new to data analysis.
5. Review Dexter's insights
Carefully read through Dexter’s response. Look for key takeaways, patterns, or anything unexpected. Use this information to make business decisions, solve problems, or share findings with your team. If something isn’t clear, or you want to explore a different aspect of your data, you can always ask Dexter another question or upload more data.
Important notes
Be specific with your questions.
The more direct your question, the clearer and more actionable Dexter’s answer will be. If you want more details or a different angle, just ask Dexter again.Keep your data clean.
Fewer errors = better results. Double-check for missing values, typos, or inconsistent formatting before uploading.Data size matters.
Dexter works best with reasonably sized files. If your data is very large, split it into smaller chunks and analyze them one at a time for best results.
