Bales Goes Deep: Wow, That’s a Really Big Sample!
We’ve all been there before. Late night, bring a girl back to the crib and open up your spreadsheets, only to have her exclaim, “I can’t work with that! Too big of a sample!”
TOO BIG!?
“Yeah, there’s no way that’s targeted. It will never fit in this specific instance.”
Ugh. #ExcelLife, amirite?
Now I don’t actually have this problem because I always have the just-right Goldilocks sample; I was lying to seem more like the common man. But some of you have expressed concern with the sizes of your respective samples, not knowing when to trust that a small one will really do the job.
Well, the old adage is true. It’s not the size of your sample that matters; it’s what you do with it. Bigger might not always be better.

Large vs. Small Samples
