Objectives

Back to Top

The general instructions for this project can be found in the Week 6 Lecture material. The Week 6 Lecture describes the assignment and provides an overview of the project as a whole. There are no step-by-steps for the course project. The following are grading criteria for this project.

Guidelines

Back to Top

Organize the Data

· Data imported from SalesData.csv text file located in Course Project Materials in DocSharing.

· Professional formatting follows the formatting guidelines we studied during the first week of class.

· Documentation sheet added to provide author, purpose, and date and provide information about each of the sheets you will create as you analyze the data.

· At least one calculated field added and copied to all cells in the worksheet.

Analyze the Data

Analyze the data in at least three different ways. Each form of Data Analysis should be provided on a separate, appropriately labeled worksheet. It is expected that each sheet will be professionally formatted and clearly documented with titles, comments, and explanation. Remove any extra sheets so your workbook is as compact as possible when you turn it in. Go back and review your labs for assistance in completing the different types of analysis.

The following are some examples of analysis you might wish to do:

· Sort by discount level. Have discounts increased sales volumes? Is there any discount level that appears to be more effective than others?

· Graph sales over time to see trends. Are there any peaks and lows in sales? Is there any time of year in which sales are highest? Lowest?

· Pivot the data to see total sales by quarter, country, category, and salesperson. Are there any highs? Are there any lows that need to be addressed?

· Subtotal the data. How are quarterly sales totals? Sales totals by salesperson? By Country?

· Challenge Option: Perform What-If Analysis. What if prices were raised by a certain percentage with a slight decline in sales? What combination of price increases and decline in sales makes most sense?

Present your Conclusions in a Memo

Use the integration techniques we worked on in the course to develop a Memo (Word document) that includes data and graphs copied and pasted from your spreadsheet. You will turn in both your Recommendation Memo and your spreadsheet. (To help you formulate your report, there is

a Word document named "ExcelProjectMemoTemplate" located in DocSharing - Course Project Materials. The yellow-lined information provides an explanation of what should be included in each section of the Memo.)

Your Memo will focus one paragraph on each of the Data Analysis sheets in your workbook. Explain the type of analysis you completed, the conclusions you drew, and a recommendation based on the analysis. (45 points)

You should include a final paragraph that explains three things you learned about using Excel for data analysis. (15 points)

For example, suppose you had a small fire in your office and you wish to make an insurance claim. Using a query, you will be able to select only those records in the database that have the Location equal to "Office." Write a query that will allow you to select records based on a room you select.

A. Use the Create Tab and select Query Wizard. Create a Simple query that selects Item, manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Purchase Price, Acquired Date, and Location.

B. In Design View, add the Condition field to the query. Add a Selection Criteria to the Location field so that only those records with the Location equal to Office are displayed.

C. Save the query as qryItemsbyRoom.

agreed to help her with the following questions below: 

1. If asked to provide a sales report for one specific customer including all purchase items in the report, which Excel function or tool should be used and why?

2. If asked to provide a sales report of all customers summarized to the level of totaled purchase prices, which Excel function or tool should be used and why?

3. If asked to visually represent the answer to question “2,” which Microsoft Excel tool should be used and why?4. Would a Pivot table be feasible based on the table of data provided to Jessica? Why or why not?

Question 4.4.(TCO 5) Michael and Sally own 89 ice cream shops across the southeastern United States. In efforts to manage sales data collected from these ice cream shops, Michael and Sally currently have several workbooks developed with the same purpose and structure but with so much information, Michael and Sally need help consolidating this data for more efficient decision making. Given the needs of Michael and Sally, describe in detail how you would explain to Michael and Sally how to use Excel to develop and produce summary reports with consolidated sales data displaying periods of weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports along with visual options to trend and compare data across all ice cream shops. Be sure to include sample Excel formulas. Also, explain in detail the benefits of using consolidated summary reports in the decision making process. (Points : 40)

Question 5.5.(TCO 9) You have been provided an Access database that contains sales data for the past five years for a florist. The data has information about the date of transaction, client name, client zip code, products purchased, and product price.
