Chapter 8 Data Analysis
Agenda • Functions • AND and OR • COUNT, COUNTA, and COUNTIF • CONCATENATE and TRIM • RANK and QUARTILE • MOD and ROW • Goal Seek in decision-making • Pareto chart for the 80/20 rule • Advanced features in pivot tables and pivot charts
Data Analysis Techniques • Sorting – arrange lists by one or more fields • Calculating – manipulating data in an individual record • Summarizing – displays records within groups and calculating (pivot table) • Filtering – displays only records that meet specific criteria • Formatting – calls attention to a cell by the way it is displayed (conditional formatting) • Charting – graphic representation of data
Summarizing Functions • COUNT – number of cells containing numeric values within a designated range • COUNTA – number of non-empty cells within a designated range • COUNTIF – number of cells meeting specific criteria with a designated range
Decision-Making Functions • AND – True if all arguments are true • OR – True if any arguments are true • IF – a logical test • One value if true, another value if false • Nested If – using another If function as either the true or false value
The Admissions Office • Examine a list of applicants and determine the acceptances and rejections • Illustrate the AND or OR functions • Use conditional formatting • Demonstrate AutoFilter and Goal Seek functions
Ranking Functions • RANK – rank of a number in a list with two arguments • Number • Name of list • QUARTILE – maximum value of specified quartile with two arguments • Name of array • Quartile
Modulo Arithmetic • MOD function returns remainder after division • Requires two arguments • Value • Divisor
The Graduating Class • Use the QUARTILE and RANK functions to determine the position of records within a list • Use the SUBTOTALS function to compute statistics for a group of records • Use conditional formatting and MOD function to shade alternate rows within a worksheet • Demonstrate CONCATENATE and TRIM functions
A Pivot Table and Chart • Divides records into list • Computes summary statistics for categories • Drag fields around pivot table to create new views • Pivot chart displays pivot table graphically
The Men’s Store • Import data from a text file into an Excel workbook • Create a pivot table and associated pivot chart • Use the Group and Show Detail command • Create a worksheet from a pivot table
The Pareto Principle • 80% of the activity in a system is attributable to 20% of the transactions (also called the “80/20 Rule”) • Pareto chart – displays percentage each data element contributes to the whole
The Restaurant • Display the day of the week given a calendar date • Create a pivot table and corresponding pivot chart • Determine percentage values within a pivot table • Convert to pivot chart to a Pareto chart
Points to Remember • Functions • AND and OR • COUNT, COUNTA, and COUNTIF • CONCATENATE and TRIM • RANK and QUARTILE • MOD and ROW • Goal Seek in decision-making • Pareto chart for the 80/20 rule • Advanced features in pivot tables and pivot charts
