Project Information
Due Date: March 3, 2014
Key Resources:
Power Pivot Sample Data Sources:
- Microsoft Azure Web Service (https://datamarket.azure.com)
- Statistics Canada Key Resources (CANSIM) (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/start‐debut‐eng.html)
- Sample Database (TBD)
The Project
Your job is to create a dashboard using the tools and techniques you have learned in class. Make use of
pivot tables to create a spreadsheet using information found online and use the best practices you’ve
learned in class to make your spreadsheet easy to use and easy to understand.
Project Criteria
Part 1
Create a short one page memo addressed to your instructor that includes a brief description of your
data set along with a summary of your analysis and the results yielded. As part of your summary and
analysis section, your memo should include 4 to 6 questions (max 10) that you intend to answer with the
data provided in your workbook. Submit this file as a Word document to D2L with the full name and
student numbers in the header.
Total: 15 Marks
Part 2
Minimum Requirements
Create a workbook that is able to at the very minimum answer the questions you defined in the memo
you created in Part 1.
Structure your Workbook as follows:
Create at least 5 worksheets and re‐name the worksheets appropriately to match the information
contained within.
Your workbook should include a minimum of:
- 1 Dashboard worksheet · 4 Pivot Tables worksheets · 2 Chart/Pivot Chart worksheets
For example, your workbook structure might end up looking something like this:
Project –John Doe A001234567.xlsx
- Dashboard · Q 1 – Profit over Time Pivot Table · Q 2 – Customers by Education Pivot Table · Q 3 – Sales by Promotion Pivot Table · Q 4 – Product Type Pivot Table · Q 1 & 2 – Graph · Q 3 & 4 – Graph
Dashboard Worksheet – 45 Marks
Your dashboard should meet the following minimum criteria:
- Easy to read
- Combines data from different tables or datasets. If you chose to work with one large data set
ensure that you are making use of and measuring all of the information provided.
- Provides an at‐a‐glance understanding of key measures (i.e. your questions)
- The dashboard should be interactive – make use of Slicers to allow the user to change
information for their own needs
- Make use of Data Validation and/or Worksheet Protection where needed.
