‭Chapter 4: Analyse Data using Scenarios and Goal Seek‬

‭1. Define the terms‬


‭(a) Consolidate function‬
‭Consolidate is a function used to combine information from multiple sheets of the‬
‭spreadsheet into one place to summarize the information. It is used to view and compare‬
‭a variety of data in a single spreadsheet for identifying trends and relationships.‬

(‭ b) What-if analysis‬
‭What-if tool uses Data > Multiple Operations and is a planning tool for what-if questions.‬
‭In this, the output is not shown in the same cells, whereas it uses a drop-down list to‬
‭display the output depending upon the input.‬
‭The‬‭Multiple Operation‬‭s tool creates a formula array‬‭to display the list of results‬
‭applying the formula on a list of alternative values used in the formula.‬

‭ his tool uses two arrays of cells, one array contains the input values and the second‬
T
‭array uses the formula and display the result.‬

‭(c) Goal seek‬

‭2. Give one point of difference between‬


‭(a) Subtotal and What-if‬
‭The‬‭Subtotal tool‬‭in Calc creates the group automatically‬‭and applies common‬
‭functions like sum, average on the grouped data. One can use any type of summary‬
‭function for each column as per the requirement of data analysis‬
‭.‬
‭What-if tool uses Data > Multiple Operations‬‭is a planning tool for what-if questions.‬
‭This tool uses two arrays of cells, one array contains the input values and the second‬
‭array uses the formula and display the result.‬
‭It is useful to check in the beginning to understand from the output for the efficiency.‬
‭What-if analysis tool is very helpful when we want to know how much profit we earn for a‬
‭particular product for a series of selling units.‬
(‭ b) What-if scenario and What-if tool‬
‭What-if scenario‬‭: It is used to explore and compare‬‭various alternatives depending on‬
‭changing conditions. It can be used in the beginning of any project to optimise the‬
‭output. This tool is used to predict the output while changing the inputs which reflects the‬
‭output and thus one can choose the best plan of action based on it.‬

‭3. Give any two advantages of data analysis tools.‬


‭1.‬ ‭Data Analysis tool‬ ‭is used to retrieve, correlate,‬‭explore and visualise data to identify‬
‭patterns, trends and relationships.‬
‭2.‬ ‭Data Analysis tool‬‭is used to analyse the data and‬‭interpret the results from it.‬

‭4. Name any two tools for data analysis.‬

‭ . What are the criteria for consolidating sheets?‬


5
‭Ans:‬ ‭Criteria for consolidating sheet are:‬
‭●‬ ‭Open each sheet in the spreadsheet and check that the data types must match which‬
‭you want to consolidate.‬
‭●‬ ‭Match the labels from all the sheets which are used for consolidating.‬
‭●‬ ‭Enter the first column as the primary column on the basis of which the data is to be‬
‭consolidated.‬

‭ . Which tool is used to create an outline for the selected data?‬


6
‭Ans: Group and Outline in Calc is used to create an outline of the selected data and can group‬
‭rows and columns together so that one can collapse (-) to hide it or expand (+) it using a single‬
‭click on it.‬
