Organizing tables and charts to form statistical reports Level Applications Various types of tables, charts and reports containing tables and charts Time 80 minutes Situation You are the editor of the school newspaper. You are to report on a recent survey held in the school on the topic of The Most Outstanding Persons in the Twentieth Century. The survey working team has asked every student to select from a list of 10 persons the most understanding one on his/her mind. Votes are then gathered and counted. Target To produce tables to record the survey results, and process data by means of calculations and sorting, so that data can be displayed in chart format and a crisp survey report can be formed by organizing the tables and charts.

2 Results Displayed Stage 1 Creating tables to show statistical information Stage 2 Generating statistical charts Stage 3 Organizing tables and charts to form statistical reports

3 Microsoft Office 2000 Fundamentals Stage 1 Creating tables to show statistical information In general, survey data should be processed for easy understanding and interpretation. Accordingly, we can make use of formulas, functions and sorting ability of Excel to process data. Then, with the formatting ability of Excel, we can create an eye-catching and useful table to show survey results. Workflow Process data Sort data Set format 1 Type the survey data in an Excel worksheet. The information provided on the left can serve as a reference. NOTE When you input Yang into A8, Excel generates Zhi-yuan automatically because the first few alphabets just typed is the same as that of an existing entry in the same column. You can press Enter to accept the suggestion or continue to type the content you want. data1.xls Creating tables 2 Count the total number of votes first. Type Total votes into cell A13, then select E13 and click on the Standard toolbar. The computer will automatically decide a data range for summation. Press Enter to confirm and the total number of votes will be shown in E13. 90

4 Producing a Crisp Survey Report 3 Next we find the total number of votes from male and female students. Click E13 and move the mouse pointer to the black square at right bottom corner. Once the pointer changes to, drag to the left until the greylined frame extends to C13. Release the mouse button and the total number of votes from boys and girls will be shown in C13 and D13 respectively. The process above copies the formula inside E13 to C13 and D13. The copied formulae will automatically changed according to their respective data ranges for summation. REMARK Ask students: What is the formula for counting the total number of votes from male students? 4 Now we arrange the outstanding persons in descending order of votes obtained. First we select E3, then drag diagonally from E3 to A12, then click on the Standard toolbar. 5 The rows in the data range selected will be rearranged in descending order of the value in column E. TIPS The sorting function is not confined to numeric values, and can be applied to text too. For instance, if you select A3 as the starting point of an area for sorting, the computer will sort the items according to alphebatical order of the names. 91

5 Microsoft Office 2000 Fundamentals 6 Before producing a statistical table for the sectors that the outstanding persons belong to, first we should type its titles. 7 Ctrl First, votes from male students that the politics sector obtained are counted. Select B17 and press, then select C3. Press and hold Ctrl to select C12. Release Ctrl and finally press Enter. The totals of C3 and C12 will be shown. NOTE Press and hold Ctrl enables you to select cells not adjacent to one another. 8 Use the AutoSum function to count the remaining number of votes in other sectors. 92

6 Producing a Crisp Survey Report 9 Use AutoSum to count all total number of votes. D22: =SUM(D17 : D21) C22: =SUM(C17 : C21) B22: =SUM(B17 : B21) TIPS 1. Copy the formula in D22 to cells C22 and B22, so that the totals for Boys vote and Girls vote will be shown. 2. To ensure the counting is correct, check if the total votes of the two tables created are the same. 10 After all counting is done, it comes to set the table format. Select the table area of A1 to E13, then select Format AutoFormat to open the AutoFormat dialog box. TIPS Press Ctrl + Home to get back to A1. Setting tables format 11 Select List 2 format, press OK to apply this format to the selected table. 93

7 Microsoft Office 2000 Fundamentals 12 Select A1 to E1, and click in the Formatting toolbar, the title will be shown across the top of the table. 13 Select Format Cells to open the Format Cells dialog box.
