Session Objectives
Understand the purpose of creating a spreadsheet
Know a range of features and functions which can be used to build a spreadsheet
Created a simple spreadsheet.

3. 9/14/2018
Overview
A spreadsheet is basically a grid of data which have formatting applied. Formulas are used to summarised and enable us to carry out modeling activities. Graphs can be drawn to present.
You will create a spreadsheet to analyse numerical data collected for your investigation.
Crime statistics for different areas
House prices in different areas
Land prices for different counties / areas
Rental prices in different areas
Population statistics for different counties / areas

4. Use: Engine Size (cc) | 1.2 NOT Engine size | 1.2cc
When formatting numbers ensure they remain as numbers - don’t add units e.g.
Use: Engine Size (cc) | 1.2 NOT Engine size | 1.2cc

The range of statistics is important - get some above and below budget.. Also the number of statistics is important - the more you have the better
Ideas To Develop 2015
Enquiry 1 – Move to Devon
Different towns (maybe 2/3) - sheet for each town, each town sheet has 10+ houses, different headings for different features of house
Crime statistics??
Distance to…
Colour scheme: each sheet towns colours – town logo??
Enquiry 2 – Going to Uni
Different uni towns (maybe 2/3) - sheet for each town, each town sheet has 10+ houses for rent, different headings for different features of house, calculations to work out weekly rent
Colour scheme: each sheet universities colours – uni logo??
Enquiry 4 – European Holiday (max 4 people)
Different resorts (try resorts in different countries) (maybe 2/3) - sheet for each resort, each resort sheet has 10+ hotels, different headings for different features of hotel, calculations to work out PPM / PPW
Crime statistics?? Trip Advisor reviews?? Whether Statistics???
Colour scheme: each sheet countries colours – country flag??
Enquiry 5 – Learning to drive
Sheet for different cars maybe (10-20), statistics about each car MPG, BHP, Engine size, tax band,

Other Facilities
Use macros to speed up the input of data and production of results
Visual basic forms to enter data
Make use of graphs and charts to present findings
Conditional formatting
Relative and absolute cell referencing
3D Cell referencing 7

8. Use: Engine Size (cc) | 1.2 NOT Engine size | 1.2cc
When formatting numbers ensure they remain as numbers - don’t add units e.g.
Use: Engine Size (cc) | 1.2 NOT Engine size | 1.2cc

The range of statistics is important - get some above and blow budget.. Also the number of statistics is important - the more you have the better
