# Using the Document Analysis Report to Determine Waiver Status (Texas)

Users in Texas school districts can generate a [**Document Analysis Report**](/v1/docs/running-the-document-analysis-report) to determine how each employee scored in each possible matrix heading for a specific document.

Texas districts can use this report to identify which teachers have received one or more **Improvement Needed** scores on an evaluation document and which teachers qualify for the **T-TESS Waiver** for the specified school year.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**: If a district does not apply any filters before generating the report, the exported spreadsheet includes all evaluations that were created with the selected document.

## **Generating the Document Analysis Report**

**Step 1:** Select **Reports** from the **Analysis** section of the main menu.

**Step 2:** Select **Document Analysis**.

## **Determining T-TESS Waiver Status**

Once you have downloaded the report as a spreadsheet, open the file in a spreadsheet viewer, such as Excel or Google Sheets. This allows you to apply filters to more easily parse and analyze the data in the generated spreadsheet

**Step 1:** Select the specific T-TESS document to analyze.

**Step 2:** Apply the date filter for ​a specific timeframe.

**Step 3:** Generate the ​T-TESS **Document Analysis Report** for the specific timeframe by clicking **Print** and choosing the **Export Score Counts to Spreadsheet**.

**Step 4:** Paste the following formula into the **P2 cell** of the spreadsheet and hit **Enter/Return** on the keyboard to generate results: **=IF(O2>0,"Improvement Needed",SUM(K2:M2))**

> [!WARNING]
> **Caution:** The formula applies if you have **matrix questions containing five column headers/fields** and the **O Column Header** is **Improvement Needed**.

**Step 5:** Highlight the **P2 cell**, grab the corner of the cell, drag it down the **P column**, and generate the values for all other rows in the spreadsheet.

## **Data Results in the P Column**

Use the data in the P column to determine if a teacher is **Proficient** overall or if the teacher can qualify for wavier status in T-TESS. All **Distinguished, Accomplished**, and **Proficient** selections are totaled and displayed as numerical values in the P cell at the end of each row. If a teacher receives one or more **Needs Improvement** selections, the P cell displays **Improvement** **Needed** for that teacher.
