Responsive Documents

Mr. Goldes -
Thank you for sending the attached inventory form. Having reviewed it, I see that there are many duplicate entries -- it seems that a number of items are listed in the spreadsheet upon initial request as well as upon final receipt. This is what I guess based on the frequency of duplication and spotchecking the spreadsheet.
More than a dozen states have provided an inventory spreadsheet in a similar format but which lists solely items in inventory. Does DES have such a spreadsheet that does not include duplicate entries for a particular equipment transfer?
Please correct me if I am interpreting the spreadsheet incorrectly.
Thank you again for your help!
Best,
Shawn

Hi there- One suggestion: With respect to duplicates, could you look first at the "Requisition Number" and then, if it appears that item is duplicated, compare "Serial numbers" for each item? What is the result?
Harold
From: Shawn Musgrave
Mr. Goldes -
Yes, this is how the duplicates came to my attention -- I noticed quite a few duplicate pairs of Requisition Number + Serial Number. I thus wondered whether there was another version of the spreadsheet that does not have such duplicates but only the current inventory of equipment maintained by 1033 participants in Washington.
Thank you again for your help!

Hi- could you provide an example? Perhaps cut/paste the rows or highlight them in a version of the XLS you could send me?
Harold
From: Shawn Musgrave
Mr. Goldes -
I've attached the spreadsheet portion for Moses Lake PD, which I've sorted by Requisition Number and then Property Number. As you can see, each item is listed in triplicate -- the far right color-coded column suggests that these are perhaps monthly inventory records.
Thank you again for your help sorting this out. Again, a number of states provided spreadsheets without any color codes, duplicate entries or multiple tabs as DES released last week. I'd guess that DES may have a corresponding, simpler version of the spreadsheet that reflects current inventory rather than multiple inventory updates that contain multiple entries for a given piece of equipment.
Thanks!

Hello again- It appears that the file does in fact contain duplicates reflecting the "working" nature of the file. Perhaps we can talk tomorrow by phone if it is convenient. In that way I can get a better sense of what you may need ...Harold
From: Shawn Musgrave
Mr. Goldes -
When would be a good time to speak by phone?
Since the spreadsheet appears to be a combination from other spreadsheets from at least three dates, I suspect that there is a current inventory spreadsheet from July 2014 that was used to integrate into the spreadsheet you sent.

Hi
I can call in 10 minutes. Is the XLS you have " DES PUBLIC DISCLOSURE -1033 PROPERTY BOOK AS OF 8-5-14.XLS? Harold
From: Shawn Musgrave
Harold -
No, I had a different spreadsheet. I just checked the download link you sent below and downloaded the spreadsheet you mentioned ("DES PUBLIC DISCLOSURE -1033 PROPERTY BOOK AS OF 8-5-14.XLS"). This is precisely what I need!
Thanks so much for your help.
-Shawn
From: Goldes, Harold (DES)
Fantastic- Did you want me to call anyway?
From: Shawn Musgrave
No need -- this is what I was after. Thanks so much!

From: Goldes, Harold (DES)
