Exp19 Excel Ch03 CapAssessment Movies

Project Description:

You are an assistant manager at Premiere Movie Source, an online company that enables customers to download movies for a fee. You need to track movie download sales by genre. You gathered the data for April 2021 and organized it in an Excel workbook. You are ready to create charts to help represent the data so that you can make a presentation to your manager later this week.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch03_CapAssessment_Movies.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

You want to create a pie chart   to show the percentage each category contributes to the monthly movie   downloads.
 

  Select the ranges A5:A10 and F5:F10. Create a pie chart and move it to a   chart sheet named April Pie Chart.

The chart needs a descriptive   title that is easy to read.
 

  Type April   2021 Downloads by Genre as the chart title, apply bold, 18 pt font size, and Black, Text   1 font color.

Percentage and category data   labels will provide identification information for the pie chart.
 

  Add category and percentage data labels in the Inside End position. Remove   value data labels and the legend. Apply 14 pt font size and Black, Text 1   font color.

You want to focus on the comedy   movies by exploding it and changing its fill color.
 

  Explode the Comedy slice by 7% and apply Dark Red fill color.

A best practice is to include   Alt Text for accessibility compliance.
 

  Add Alt Text: The pie chart shows percentage of downloads by genre   for April 2021.   (including the period)

Next you want to create a combo   chart to depict the monthly totals and percentages by category.
 

  Display the Data sheet, select the ranges A4:A10 and F4:G10, and then create   a Clustered Column – Line on Secondary Axis combo chart.

You want to position the chart   below the data source.
 

  Cut the chart and paste it in cell A13. Change the height to 3.5″ and the width to 6″.

Change the combo chart title to April 2021   Downloads.   Apply Black, Text 1 font color to the chart title.

Axis titles will help   distinguish the number and percentage of downloads.
 

  Add a primary value axis title and type Number of Downloads. Add a secondary value axis   title and type Percentage of Monthly Downloads. Apply Black, Text 1 font color   to both value axis titles.

Now that you added an axis title   for each vertical axis, you can remove the legend and format the secondary   value axis to display whole percentages.
 

  Remove the legend for the combo chart. Display 0 decimal places for the   secondary value axis.

You want to add some color to   the plot area for the combo chart.
 

  Apply Light Gradient – Accent 1 gradient fill color for the plot area.

A best practice is to include   Alt Text for accessibility compliance.
 

  Add Alt Text: The combo chart shows the number and percentage of   downloads by genre for April 2021. (including the period).

To provide a visual summary of   the weekly totals for each genre, you will insert sparklines.
 

  Select the range B5:E11. Insert Line Sparklines in the range H5:H11. Apply   Black, Sparkline Style Dark #4

Displaying the markers helps   identify the specific points on the sparklines. You will also change the high   point to a different color to stand out.
 

  Show the high point and markers for the sparklines. Change the high point   marker color to Red.

Your last major task is to   create a bar chart for weekly downloads.
 

  Select the range A4:E10. Create a stacked bar chart. Move the chart to new   chart sheet. Type Weekly Downloads for the sheet name. Apply Style 8 chart style.

Add a chart title above the bar   chart and type April 2021 Weekly Downloads by Genre. 

Increasing the font size will   make the chart elements easier to read.
 

  Apply 11 pt font size to the category axis, value axis, and the legend for   the bar chart.

Because the largest value is   less than 9,000, you can reduce the maximum bound in the chart. In addition,   you want to display the category labels in the same order that they are in   the worksheet.
 

  Change the maximum bounds for the value axis to 9000 and set the Major Units to 500 for the bar chart. Use the Axis   Options to format the category axis so that the category labels are in   reverse order in the bar chart.

Although the bar chart displays   major gridlines, minor gridlines could improve the appearance.
 

  Add primary minor vertical gridlines to the bar chart.

A best practice is to include   Alt Text for accessibility compliance for the bar chart.
 

  Add Alt Text: The stacked bar chart shows downloads by each week for   each genre.   (including the period).

Insert a footer with Exploring   Series on the   left, the sheet name code in the center, and the file name code on the right   on all the sheets. Change to Normal view.

Save and close Exp19_Excel_Ch03_CapAssessment_Movies.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

You will review both quantitative and qualitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family as your expected dissertation topic so that you can start viewing what is out there.  There are no hard word counts or page requirements as long as you cover the basic guidelines.  You must submit original work, however,  and a paper that returns as a large percentage of copy/paste to other sources will not be accepted.  (Safe Assign will be used to track/monitor your submission for plagiarism. Submissions with a Safe Assign match of more than 25% will not be accepted.) Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

• Introduction/Background:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
• Methodology:  Describe how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researchers trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
• Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
• Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability, and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead to further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.)

There are many ways to use PowerPoint effectively and efficiently to allow your presentation to be professional. One of the best practices is creating a good and clean theme that brings the presentation together but that doesn’t distract from the actual information. This includes having contrasting colors between the text and information from the actual theme itself, that way your audience is able to focus on the text, charts, pictures being presented. Another best practice to use is to have short and sweet slides. To make a really great PowerPoint presentation, keep the slides short to avoid boring your audience and losing their interest (Laura, 2019). We don’t want to have loads of information in paragraph form on our slides, that can be distracting to the audience as they are trying to pay attention to you but also their eyes may be mixed on the saturated slides. The point of the powerpoint presentation is to have short points (i.e. bullet points) and then during your presentation, you elaborate on all of the bullet points listed.

One of the features I see as most helpful is the ability to use different themes and layouts, this can allow for so much creativity within the presentation and give it character to support the information. I think one feature we should try to limit is the repeated use of many transitions. By using multiple transitions, it may seem overused and can add that distracting feel to the presentation we don’t want the audience to feel. I plan on setting up my presentation to allow a clean and crisp presentation that is straight to the point but that is also visually appealing and easy on the eyes so the audience can focus on the information. I don’t want the audience to feel as if they are being bombarded with information.
