88
Q

Existence Check

A

Ensures required fields are filled out to avoid incomplete data entries.

89
Q

Type Check

A

Confirms that the correct type of data (e.g., numbers, text) is entered into the corresponding field. Example (e.g., numeric data in a numeric field).

90
Q

Range Check

A

Validates that the entered data falls within a specified range (e.g., dates within a valid period). Example (e.g., a score between 0 and 100).

91
Q

SUM():

A

Adds a range of cells together. Example: “=SUM(A1:A10)” calculates the total of values in cells A1 through A10.

92
Q

AVERAGE():

A

Calculates the mean of a range of cells. Example: “=AVERAGE(B1:B10)” gives the average value in cells B1 through B10.

93
Q

Q

Data Validation

A

Prevents incorrect data entry by restricting the type of data that can be input into a cell. For instance, restricting a cell to accept only dates between 01/01/2020 and 12/31/2020.

95

Conditional Formatting:

A

Changes the appearance of cells based on their values. For example, highlighting cells in red where values are below a certain threshold.

96
Q

Purpose id data visualisation:

A

The main goal of data visualization is to present data in a clear and concise way that allows for easy interpretation. This includes identifying trends, comparing data, and illustrating relationships.

97
Q

Types of data visualisation:

A

Common types include bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, and heat maps. Each type is suited to different kinds of data and analysis needs.

98
Q

Clarity- data visualisation

A

Visualisation should be easy to read and interpret, avoiding clutter or unnecessary elements.

99
Q

Accuracy-data visualisation

A

Data should be represented faithfully, without distortion or misrepresentation. For example, starting a bar chart at zero to avoid exaggerating differences.

100
Q

Aesthetics-data visualisation

A

Use of color, layout, and design should enhance the understanding of the data, not distract from it.

101
Q

Guidelines for Creating Effective Charts:

A
  • Use of Legends: Clearly label data series in charts to prevent confusion. Legends should be easy to understand and should not obscure the data.
  • Appropriate Colors: Use colours that are distinct and appropriate for the type of data. Avoid colours that are too similar or hard to distinguish.
  • Providing Context: Include historical data or benchmarks to give context to the current data. This helps in understanding trends and making comparisons.
102
Q

Efficient Data Collection Techniques:

A
  1. Clear: Data collection methods should be easy to understand and implement.
  2. Accurate: The data collected should be correct and free from errors.
  3. Low Cost: Data collection should be cost-effective, minimising unnecessary expenses.
  4. Complete: The data collected should cover all necessary aspects to ensure comprehensiveness.
103
Q

Data Alignment and Formatting Techniques

A

Alignment: Adjusts the placement of data within a cell (e.g., left, center, or right alignment).

Indentation: Adds space between the data and the cell border to create a visual hierarchy.

Number Formatting: Adjusts how numbers are displayed (e.g., currency, percentage, or decimal format).

104
Q

AND()- Logical Operators and their Usage

A

Returns TRUE if all conditions are met.

105
Q

OR()- Logical Operators and their Usage

A

Returns TRUE if any one of the conditions is met.

106
Q

NOT()- Logical Operators and their Usage

A

Reverses the result of a condition (i.e., TRUE becomes FALSE and vice versa).

107
Q

Appearance Design Tools:

A

Include IPO (Input-Process-Output) charts, flowcharts, and wireframes to plan the look and feel of the application.

108
Q

Functionality Design Tools:

A

Focus on the system’s operations and include tools like data flow diagrams (DFDs) and entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs).
