Excel Project: ISM3004
by: Courtney Jeffries
While working through the excel assignment, there were many points where I wanted to give up because I got discouraged from not understanding something right away. Through further exploration of the excel discussions on the website however, I was able to find the answers to most of my questions and after a couple hours, completed the assignment.
One skill I became more familiar with during this project was using the various excel formulas. At first I kept getting confused on what formulas to use for each question but when I eventually figured them all out it was very relieving! Another excel item that I now feel comfortable with is the pivot table. Much like learning how to ride a bike or any other skill, once you know, you know! I was intimidated when we were first shown how to work through a pivot table but after a few practice tries, I now feel completely comfortable, almost as if I could fill one in with my eyes closed!
The only thing that still continues to confuse me is for the second pivot table we were asked to turn the decimals into percentages. When I proceeded to do that, my percentages went up to about 8,000 which clearly was not correct. I tried to go back and see where I could fix my mistake but I continued to get lost and just left the numbers as decimals since I procrastinated and have been working on the assignment for a few hours. Hopefully I did everything else correctly and will not lose too many points!
Here is the screenshot of my chart, even though the decimals are supposed to be percentages:
