BIS 155 ENTIRE COURSE (DQS - QUIZES - LABS & COURSE PROJECT) DEVRY

Week 1 discussion

Getting Familiar with Excel

(graded)

Excel was introduced in 1985. Since then, it has become a standard business tool. In this thread,

discuss the different features of Excel that make it a valuable business tool. In addition, discuss why

Excel skills are so important in today’s job market.

week 2

FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS (GRADED)

One of the benefits of Excel is the ability to use formulas and functions. Discuss the differences

between formulas and functions. Pick a function in Excel and discuss how that function is used to

calculate results in your worksheets. Using the following scenarios, discuss how you would apply the

Excel functions or create a formula to solve the scenario.

You wish to calculate the commission on sales. The commission is 6% on all sales that

are at least 20% above cost.

You wish to calculate the total pay for an employee who receives regular time for 40

hours, time and a half for 40-50 hours, and double time for hours over 50.

You have a list of contracts and due dates for annual maintenance fees. You wish to

determine when you have a contract due in the next 45 days and provide a note that

warns you that the payment is due.

Please feel free to add other, unique mathematical challenge questions to the discussion, and let us

work together to figure out how you might calculate it.

Week 3

DATA ANALYSIS (GRADED)

Excel provides many different ways in which to analyze data. Discuss the different methods by which

you can analyze data in your spreadsheet. Assume the role of a Regional Manager for a retail

organization looking at ways to analyze the large amounts of sales data you have. What are some of

the ways Excel can be used to analyze this data? What are some examples of reports you might

want to review? Using the concepts from this week, how will you determine where to start and what

tools can you use within Excel to help you organize everything and make decisions?

This section lists options that can be used to view responses.

Week 4

EXCEL DATA EXCHANGE (GRADED)

Excel 2010 provides the capability to exchange data with other applications. Discuss the different

types of ways to exchange data between Excel and other Microsoft applications. Are there

limitations to the exchange process? How can you exchange data with other applications that are

not part of the Microsoft Office Suite? Discuss how you would exchange data with external data

sources such as websites.

Week 5

DATA CONSOLIDATION AND WHAT-IF ANALYSIS (GRADED)

Discuss and compare the data consolidation and What-If analysis Excel tools. Under what

circumstances would you use each of these tools? Do they both serve the same purpose, or is each

one used under different scenarios? Give examples of how each can be used.


Week 6

BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER (GRADED)

This week will be an opportunity to share ideas and approaches to the Excel course project. What

are some spreadsheet features you will use to make your spreadsheet professional, readable,

reliable, and repeatable? Which spreadsheet functions and data analysis types do you think will be

the most challenging to implement in this project? What questions do you have about those

functions and types of data analysis?


Week 7

DATABASE DECISIONS (GRADED)

Discuss the differences between storing data in Access and Excel. Why would you use a

spreadsheet over a database? At what point does it become more efficient to store your data in a

database rather than a spreadsheet? If you are deciding whether to use a spreadsheet or database,

what questions should you consider?

COURSE PROJECT: EXCEL PROJECT

OBJECTIVESGuidelinesThe 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.Data imported from SalesData.csv text file located in Course Project Materials in DocSharing.Organize the Data

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 DataAnalyze 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 MemoUse 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)
