Scenario I
A business professional wants to use Microsoft® Excel® to organize data for the monthly expense report. He has never used Microsoft® Excel® and is inquiring about the functions that would support him with this task.
General Approach
Make sure I understand what the user intends to do and what version of Excel the customer is using.

The challenge in this situation is that the user wants to use a program that is new to him. I will have to explain to the user the basic functions of Excel to see if those functions match what the user wants to do.
Strategies to overcome challenges

Challenges
The challenges would be to make sure the user understands how to average in excel, all the information are in the correct cells, and the correct equation is being entered.
Strategies to overcome
I will have to be patient while explaining to the user how to input the information into the cells. I will have to try to keep from frustrating the user because some steps may have to be repeated.
Further diagnosis
I will need to find out if the user has sample templates or a tutorial for visual aide available.
Step by step 1. Have the user open up the Excel file 2. Walk the user through which information should be entered 3. Have the user go to TOOLS command on the menu bar and select options 4. Select the Zero values box 5. Check in the view tab that Zero value is checked 6. In the last row type =AVERAGE and the row of cells to be averaged or highlight the cells to be averaged and click Enter
Alternate solution 1. I would email a template to the user if available for the user to see 2. I would refer the user to a tutorial or advise the user to seek help from a representative in an electronic store like Bestbuy or Circuit City. 3. Apologize for not being able to assist in resolving the issue and for the customer to have better help experience face to face
Scenario III
A local grocery store owner has created a spreadsheet containing the types of inventory she carries within the
4. Provide a workflow diagram in Visio or equivalent software to illustrate how the system will work.
Scenario 3: A local grocery store owner has created a spreadsheet containing the types of inventory she carries within the store. The spreadsheet contains 235 different kinds of inventory, defined by price, quantity on hand, ordered quantity, and category. Every time she scrolls through the data set, she loses her placement. She is seeking assistance from the support desk to effectively scroll through the data sheet and manage this large data set.
b) In order to calculate the mean or average for the governors and CEO’s, I added together all the figures and divided that sum by 4 since there
So most sutable would be : Newsletter template, I think also would be suitable Flyer template.
12. Use the cat command to create a two-line file in your home directory called datainfo. On the first line enter 144 and on the second line enter 288. After the file is created, copy it from your home directory to the spreadsheets directory you created.
So when using the Averaging Method below is an example of you calculate the cost of items sold:
Work with spreadsheets, transfer detail information from the back account to the excel spreadsheet, such as deposits and expenses
|I will use Microsoft Excel to enter data into a database file, to make sure the data is
Data conversion: Which parts of the data must be saved from the old spreadsheet/manual system? Which parts of the data can just be discarded (i.e., not moved to the new system)? Discuss specific tables that you identified in Chapter 9.
Describe the steps to be taken prior to inputting the data into the computerized system and how you would go about implementing the new system.
As I am learning Excel more, it has been interesting to see all the different uses it has. I have to agree you, you need patience while learning it. It can be a bit overwhelming at times. My wife is trying to teach me how to use our family budget she has made. It is a little mind blowing to see how she was it set up, but she uses Excel all the time at her work. I am hoping with everything we learn in this unit and the next, I will be able to understand our budget more.
For problems requiring computations, please ensure that your Excel file includes the associated cell computations and/or statistics output; this information is needed in order to receive full credit on these problems.
I will add basics to a spreadsheet such as dates and names of weather stations.
Our team has five members, one leader, and four followers. Our goal is to come up with a tool that can help people(mainly towards students) make their decision in a more efficient way by means of using Excel. Moreover, let every member in the team join the whole process, such as brain storm, group meeting, coding and writing report,etc...So that everyone can experience different things and learn how to think and work as a management engineer.
