Peer-Graded Assignment: Final Assignment – Part


1
Estimated time needed: 45 minutes

Congratulations! You have now completed all the modules of this course. This week, you will complete the
final assignment that will be graded by your peers. In this first part of the final assignment, you will use
provided sample data to create some visualizations using Excel for the web.

Software Used in this Assignment


The instruction videos in this course use the full Excel Desktop version as this has all the available product
features, but for the hands-on labs we will be using the free Excel for the web version as this is available to
everyone.

Although you can use the Excel Desktop software if you have access to this version, it is recommended that
you use Excel for the web for the hands-on labs as the lab instructions specifically refer to this version, and
there are some small differences in the interface and available features. If you do not yet have access to Excel
for the Web, you can follow the instructions in the following lab to get started with it: Hands-on Lab:
Introduction to Excel for the web.

Dataset Used in this Assignment


The dataset used in this lab comes from the following source: https://community.ibm.com/accelerators/?
context=analytics&type=Data&product=Cognos%20Analytics&industry=Automotive in the IBM
Accelerator Catalog. The Terms of use for such are located at https://developer.ibm.com/terms/ibm-
developer-terms-of-use/.

We are using a modified subset of that dataset for the lab, so to follow the lab instructions successfully please
use the dataset provided with the lab, rather than the dataset from the original source.

Assignment Scenario
As a regional manager for a chain of car dealerships you need to create some visualizations to allow you to
understand your car sales and profits for each dealer.

group on the Chart tab to remove the gridlines, and use Format on the Chart tab to change the chart title, to
move the legend, and to format the series outline color in green)
