Article should review data from the perspective of an industry vertical (i.e., healthcare, education, supply chain, etc.).

Submit a three-page synopsis of the article that answers the following questions: 

· Article Title

· Article Subject Area

· Type of Data Set Used/Evaluated

· Synopsis of Article

· Three business takeaways on how data impacts the industry in respect to usability

#Exp19 Excel Ch05 ML1 RealEstate

Project Description:

You are a real estate analyst who works for Mountain View Realty in the North Utah County area. You have consolidated a list of houses sold during the past few months and want to analyze the data. For a simple analysis, you will outline the data and use the Subtotal feature. You will then create two PivotTables and a PivotChart to perform more in-depth analysis.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch05_ML1_RealEstate.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

Before subtotaling the data, you   want to calculate the selling price as a percentage of the asking price.
 

  In cell G2 in the Sales Subtotals sheet, insert a formula to calculate the   selling price percentage of the asking price, format it with Percent Style   with one decimal place, and then copy the formula down the column.

Real estate agents often analyze   how long houses are on the market. You will calculate the number of days   between the listing date and the sale date.
 

  In cell J2, enter a formula to calculate the number of days between the   listing date and sale date. Copy the formula down the column.

You are about ready to subtotal   the data. First, you will sort the data.
 

  Sort the list by City in alphabetical order, then by Selling Agent in   alphabetical order, and finally by Listing Date in chronological order   (oldest to newest).

You want to display subtotals   for three columns to analyze the averages.
 

  Use the Subtotal feature to calculate the average selling price, percentage   of asking price, and days on market by city. Ensure that Summary below data   is selected, and then click OK. Group the data using the Auto Outline   feature. Collapse the outline to hide the listing and sale dates. Click the   outline symbol to display the grand average and city average rows only.

Now you are ready to format the   data and set a print area to print only a select portion of the worksheet.
 

  Format the average days on market as numbers with zero decimal places. Apply   wrap text in cells G1 and J1. Set a print area for the range C1:J88.

Select individually columns G   and J and change the column width to 10. Change the row height to 24 for the first row.

Go to cell C101, read the   questions, and type the correct answers in the respective highlighted cells   in the range G102:G106. Do not copy and paste results from the subtotal rows.   Type the numeric values rounded to the nearest whole number.
 

  Apply Accounting Number Format with zero decimal places to cell G102.

PivotTables help you analyze   different perspectives of data. You will create a PivotTable using the Sales   Data worksheet.
 

  Click the Sales Data worksheet and create a blank PivotTable on a new   worksheet. Name the new worksheet PivotTable. Name the PivotTable Average City Prices.

Part of the process is arranging   and rearranging fields to provide the perspective to represent the data best.   In addition, you want to display average values instead of total values.
 

  Place the City field in rows, the Selling Agent field in columns, and the   Asking Price and Selling Price fields as values. Display averages rather than   sums with Accounting Number Format with zero decimal places. Pivot the data   by placing the City field below the Values field in the Columns area and   moving the Selling Agent field to the Rows area.

Now you want to focus on real   estate data for only two cities.
 

  Add a filter to cell B3 to display only Alpine   and Cedar Hills.

Go back to the Sales Data   worksheet. You realize that a selling price is incorrect.
 

  Change the selling price for Number 40 from $140,000 to $1,400,000. Refresh the PivotTable.

You want to format the   PivotTable.
 

  Change the widths of columns A, B, C, D, and E to 11. Change the width of column F to 14 and the width of column G to 13.14. Wrap text and center   horizontally data in cells B4, D4, F4, and G4. Apply the Bottom Border to the   range B4:E4. Change the label in cell A5 to Agent. Change the height of row 4 to 40.

You want to create another   PivotTable to look at the selling prices by city.
 

  Display the Sales Data worksheet. Create a Recommended PivotTable using the   Sum of Selling Price by City thumbnail.
  Note, Mac users, insert a PivotTable on a new worksheet. Add City to the Rows   area and Selling Price to the Values area.
 

  Change the name of the new PivotTable worksheet to Selling Price.

Change the value to display   averages not sums. Apply the Accounting Number Format with zero decimal   places to the values. Apply Light Blue, Pivot Style Medium 2 to the   PivotTable.
 

  Note, depending upon the version of Office being used, the style name may be   Pivot Style Medium 2.

You decide to create a   PivotChart to illustrate the PivotTable data visually.
 

  Create a clustered column PivotChart from the PivotTable on the Selling Price   worksheet. Move the chart to a chart sheet named Sales Chart.

The chart should have a   meaningful title. You will also modify some chart attributes.
 

  Change the chart title to Average Selling Price by City and apply Dark Blue font color.   Remove the legend. Apply Dark Blue fill color to the data series.

Create a footer with your name   on the left side, the sheet name code in the center, and the file name code   on the right side of all worksheets. Adjust the Page Setup scaling, if   needed.

Save and close Exp19_Excel_Ch05_ML1_RealEstate.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

Project Description:

In this project, you will apply skills you practiced from the Objectives in Access Chapters 1 through 3. You will create a database for Gina Gomez, Sales Manager, that contains inventory and supplier information. In addition, you will create queries that answer specific questions relating to the inventory items and suppliers, forms for entering and updating information, and reports.

     

Start Access. Download, open, and   save the database named   Student_Access_Cap2_Jackson_Spa.accdb.

 

Open   the Cap2 Inventory table in Design View. Rename the ID field to Item ID and change the Data Type to Short   Text. Continue adding the following fields as Short Text except for Cost,   which should have a Currency Data Type, and Quantity, which should have a   Number Data Type:
 

Item Name
Department
Cost
Quantity
Supplier ID

 

Switch   to Datasheet view. Enter the following two records into Cap2 Inventory:
 

  Item ID: H102
  Item Name: Hair Brush Set
  Department: Hair Care
  Cost: 9.99
  Quantity: 92
  Supplier ID: S-186
 

  Item ID: M089
  Item Name: Pedicure Kit
  Department: Hands & Feet
  Cost: 22.59
  Quantity: 71
  Supplier ID: S-133

 

Close   the table. Append a copy of the records from the downloaded aCap2_Inventory.xlsx workbook to the   Cap2 Inventory table. Accept all defaults in the wizard and do not save the   Import steps. Open the table, verify there are 24 records, and apply Best Fit   to all fields. Save and close the table.

 

Import   the source data from the downloaded aCap2_Suppliers.xlsx   workbook into a new table in the current database. In the wizard, click the   First Row Contains Column Headings option and set the primary key to Supplier   ID. Name the table Cap2 Suppliers.

 

Open   the Cap2 Suppliers table in Design view. Delete the Office Manager field and   save the table. Switch to Datasheet view and apply Best Fit to all of the   fields. Save and close the table.

 

On   the Navigation Pane, group the objects by Tables and Related Views.

 

Create   a relationship between the two tables in the database using Supplier ID as   the common field. Enforce Referential Integrity and select both Cascade   options. One supplier can supply many inventory items.

 

Create   a relationship report. Save the report with Relationships   as the name. Close the Relationships window.

 

Create   a query in Design view, using your Cap2 Inventory table to answer the   question What is the item name (in alphabetical   order), Cost, and Quantity for the department of Hair Care?   Do   not display the Department field in the query results. Run the query, save it as Cap2 Hair Care Query, then close the query. Three records   match the criteria.

 

Create   a copy of Cap2 Hair Care Query named Cap2 Hair Care or   Easy Wear Query. Redesign the query design to answer   the question What is the department,   item name, cost, and supplier ID where the department is hair care   or easy wear?   Arrange   the fields in the order in which they’re mentioned in the question. Sort the   records first in ascending order by Department and then in ascending order by   Item Name. Run and then close the query. Seven records match the criteria.

 

Create   a query in Design view, using both tables to answer the question What is the department, supplier name,   item name, and phone, for a supplier name that begin with the letter B   for the department of bath? Add the fields in that order. Sort the   records first in ascending order by the Supplier Name field and then in   ascending order by the Item Name field. Run the query, save it as Cap2 B Department Query, and then close it. Seven records   match the criteria.

 

Create   a query in Query Design view, using your Cap2 Suppliers table and your Cap2   Inventory table to answer the question What   is the supplier name, item name, department, and cost for items that have a   cost of $25 or greater? sorted   first in ascending order by Department and then in descending order by Cost? Six   records match the criteria. Save the query as Cap2 Cost $25 or   More Query   and close it.

 

Create   a query in Design view, using the Cap2 Inventory table to answer the question   For the supplier ID of S-186,   for each item name and retail price, markup for each item if marked up 41% of   Cost, and what is the selling price (cost and mark up added together)?   Add the fields in that order. Name the first calculated field Markup and name the second calculated field Selling Price. Run the query and apply Best Fit to all of the fields. All numeric   fields should be formatted as Currency, 2 Decimal Places. Save the query as Cap2 Retail Price Query and close it.

 

Use   the Query Wizard to create a crosstab query using the Cap2 Inventory table.   Set the Supplier ID field as the row headings, and set the Department field   as the column headings. Sum the Quantity field, and do not include row sums.   Name the query Cap2 Crosstab Query   and then finish the query. Run the query and apply Best Fit to all of the   fields. Save and close the query.

 

Create   a query in Design view using the Cap2 Inventory table that prompts you to   enter the Department, and then answers the question What is the department, item name, and Cost for inventory items,   sorted first in ascending order by Department and then in ascending order by   the item name? Add the fields in that order. The query should prompt an   individual to Enter the Department.   Run the query, and type Face & Neck   when prompted for the criteria. Five records match the criteria. Save the   query as Cap2 Parameter Query   and close it.

 

Based   on the Cap2 Suppliers table, use the Form tool to create a form. Switch to   Form view, and then using the form, add a new record as follows:
 

  Supplier ID: S-152
  Supplier Name: Springfield Supply Co.
  Address: 146 Lincoln Drive
  City: Springfield
  State: IL
  Postal Code: 62707
  Phone: (217) 555-2543
 

  Use the Filter By Form tool to create a filter that displays records with a   State of IL   or TX. After verifying that three records   match this criteria, toggle the filter to display all six records. Save the   form as Cap2 Supplier Form and close it.

 

Based   on your Cap2 Suppliers table, use the Report tool to create a new report.   Select the report title, and apply Bold. Delete the following fields from the   report: Supplier ID, Address, City, State, and Postal Code. Delete the Page   Number, Date, and Time controls. Apply the Gallery theme to this object only.   Sort the Supplier Name field in ascending order. For the Phone field, change   the Width property to 1.25.   For the Supplier Name field, change the Left property to 1 and then close the Property Sheet. Save   the report as Cap2 Suppliers Report   and then close the report.

 

Use   the Report Wizard to create a report based on the Cap2 Inventory table. Add   the following fields to the report: Department, Item Name, and Quantity, in   that order. Group by the Department field. Sort in ascending order by the   Item Name field. Find the Sum of the Quantity field. Be sure that the Layout   is Stepped and that the Orientation is Portrait. For the report title, type Cap2 Inventory by Department Report   and then switch to Layout view. Delete the controls that begin with Summary   for ‘Department’. Under Item Name, click any text box control, and then set   the Width property to 2.5.   For the Quantity label control, set the Left property to 6.5. Save and close the report.

 

Close   all database objects and open the Navigation Pane, if necessary. Close the   database and then exit Access. Submit the database as directed.
