BSYS-2000 Final Exam Notes

Grouping Worksheets & 3-D References

• Grouping Worksheets:
o Hold Ctrl and click multiple sheet tabs.
o Actions performed on one sheet apply to all grouped sheets.
• 3-D Reference Formula Example:

=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet3!B2)

1. Group Multiple Worksheets

Goal: Apply the same formatting, formula, or data entry to multiple sheets at once.

Steps:

1. Open your Excel file with multiple sheets (e.g., Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3).
2. Hold Ctrl on your keyboard.
3. Click each sheet tab (at the bottom) you want to group.
o You’ll see the tabs appear white, and “Group” will appear in the title bar.
4. Now, type or format something on one sheet — it will apply to all grouped sheets.

To ungroup: Right-click any tab → click Ungroup Sheets.

2. Create a 3-D Reference Formula

Goal: Use one formula to refer to the same cell across multiple sheets.

Example Setup:

• Let’s say:
o Sheet1 has a value in cell B2 = 10
o Sheet2 B2 = 20
o Sheet3 B2 = 30

Steps to create 3-D formula:

1. Go to a new sheet (e.g., “Summary” sheet).


2. Click in a cell (e.g., B2) where you want the result.
3. Enter the formula: =SUM(Sheet1:Sheet3!B2)
4. Press Enter.

This adds up B2 from Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3, returning 60.

Notes:
• 3-D references work with functions like SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN, etc.
• Sheets must be next to each other in the workbook for Sheet1:Sheet3 to work
correctly.
• You can still group sheets and use 3-D references together for efficient updates and
calculations.

Pivot Tables

• Steps:
1. Select your data.
2. Go to Insert → PivotTable.
3. Drag fields into Rows, Columns, Values, and Filters.
• Tips:
o Use Value Field Settings to summarize data (Sum, Average, Count, etc.).
o Filter using slicers.

1. Select Your Data

• Make sure your data is organized in a table format:


o Column headers in the first row (e.g., Region, Sales, Rep)
o No blank rows or columns

Tip: Use Ctrl + A to quickly select all data.

2. Insert a Pivot Table

1. Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon.


2. Click PivotTable.
3. In the dialog box:
o Choose the data range (auto-filled if selected already).
o Select where to place the PivotTable:
▪ New Worksheet (recommended)
▪ Existing Worksheet
4. Click OK.

3. Drag Fields into Pivot Table Areas

You’ll see the PivotTable Field List on the right.

Drag fields to:

• Rows → Categories to analyze (e.g., Region)


• Columns → Subcategories across the top (e.g., Product)
• Values → Numeric fields to summarize (e.g., Sales)
• Filters → Filter entire Pivot Table (e.g., by Year)
Example:
Drag Region → Rows
Drag Sales → Values
Drag Product → Columns

4. Use Value Field Settings

• Click the drop-down arrow in the Values field.


• Choose Value Field Settings.
• Select a summary function:
o Sum (default)
o Average
o Count
o Max / Min

You can also rename the custom field here (e.g., “Total Sales”).

5. Add Slicers (Optional Filters)

1. Click anywhere inside the Pivot Table.


2. Go to PivotTable Analyze → Insert Slicer.
3. Choose the field(s) you want to filter by (e.g., Region, Rep).
4. Click OK — slicer(s) will appear and allow clickable filtering.

Drag the slicer box and resize for better layout.

Data Validation, Input Message & Error Alerts

• Steps:
1. Select cell(s).
2. Go to Data → Data Validation.
• Types:
o Whole Number, Decimal, List, Date, etc.
• Input Message Tab:
o Message shown when cell is selected.
• Error Alert Tab:
o Show alert on invalid input (Stop, Warning, Information).

1. Apply Data Validation to a Cell

Steps:

1. Select the cell(s) you want to control (e.g., B2:B10).


2. Go to the Data tab → Click Data Validation (in the "Data Tools" group).
3. In the Settings tab, choose the validation type under Allow:
Common options:

o Whole Number (e.g., 1 to 100)


o Decimal
o List (e.g., Yes,No)
o Date or Time
o Custom formula
4. Set the allowed criteria.
o Example: Whole Number → between 1 and 10
5. Click OK to apply.

2. Add an Input Message (optional)

Purpose: Show instructions when the cell is selected.

Steps:

1. In the Data Validation window, go to the Input Message tab.


2. Check "Show input message when cell is selected".
3. Enter:
o Title: e.g., "Enter Score"
o Message: e.g., "Please enter a number between 1 and 10"
4. Click OK.

Result: When the user clicks the cell, the message pops up as a tooltip.

3. Add an Error Alert (optional but recommended)

Steps:

1. In the Data Validation window, go to the Error Alert tab.


2. Check "Show error alert after invalid data is entered".
3. Choose the Style:
o Stop 🚫 = Blocks invalid entry (strict)
o Warning ⚠️ = Warns, but allows override
o Information ℹ️ = Shows a message but accepts input
4. Enter:
o Title: e.g., "Invalid Entry"
o Message: e.g., "Only numbers between 1 and 10 allowed"
5. Click OK.

Example:

• Allow: Whole Number → between 1 and 10


• Input Message: "Enter a score from 1 to 10 only."
• Error Alert: "Invalid Entry – Please enter a valid score."
Add to Data Model & Create Relationships

• Add Tables to Data Model:


o Check “Add this data to the Data Model” when creating PivotTables.
• Create Relationships:
o Data → Relationships.
o Define Primary and Foreign keys.

1. Add Tables to the Data Model

Goal: Combine multiple tables for use in a single Pivot Table (without VLOOKUP).

Steps:

1. Make sure each table is formatted as a Table:


o Select data → Press Ctrl + T → Click OK.
o Name each table (e.g., Orders, Customers) using Table Design tab.
2. Go to Insert → PivotTable.
3. In the PivotTable dialog:
o Check “Add this data to the Data Model”.
o Choose where to place the PivotTable (new/existing sheet).
4. Click OK.

Repeat this for each table you want to include in the data model.

2. Create Relationships Between Tables

Steps:

1. Go to the Data tab.


2. Click Relationships (in the Data Tools group).
3. Click New to define a relationship.
4. In the "Create Relationship" dialog:
o Table: Choose the main table (e.g., Orders)
o Column: Choose the foreign key (e.g., CustomerID in Orders)
o Related Table: Choose the lookup table (e.g., Customers)
o Related Column: Choose the primary key (e.g., CustomerID in Customers)
5. Click OK.

This sets up a one-to-many relationship (like a database join).

3. Use in Pivot Table

• Now you can use fields from multiple related tables in one Pivot Table.
• Drag fields from both tables into Rows, Values, Columns, etc.
Example:

• Tables: Orders, Customers


• Relationship: Orders[CustomerID] → Customers[CustomerID]

Now, you can analyze Order Amounts by Customer Name even though they’re in separate
tables.

Get & Transform Data (Power Query)

• Steps:
1. Go to Data → Get & Transform Data.
2. Import data from Excel, CSV, web, etc.
3. Use Power Query Editor to clean and transform:
▪ Remove columns
▪ Split columns
▪ Filter rows
▪ Change data types

1. Open Power Query (Get & Transform Data)

• Go to the Data tab on the ribbon.


• In the Get & Transform Data section, choose your data source:
o From Workbook (another Excel file)
o From Text/CSV
o From Web
o From Table/Range (if already in Excel)

Example: To import a CSV file, click From Text/CSV → select your file → click Import.

2. Load Data into Power Query Editor

• Excel shows a preview of your data.


• Click Transform Data (not Load) to open Power Query Editor.
• You’re now in the Power Query Editor workspace.

3. Clean & Transform the Data

Remove Columns

• Right-click the column header → Select Remove.


• Or use: Home tab → Remove Columns.

Split Columns
• Select the column → Go to Home or Transform tab.
• Choose Split Column (e.g., by delimiter like comma or space).

Filter Rows

• Click the drop-down arrow in a column header.


• Use checkboxes, text filters, or number/date filters to keep only desired rows.

Change Data Types

• Select a column → Go to Transform tab.


• Use Data Type dropdown (e.g., Whole Number, Date, Text).

4. Apply & Load the Data

• Once finished, click Close & Load from the Home tab.
• Choose:
o Close & Load → load into a new worksheet.
o Close & Load To… → load to Pivot Table, Data Model, or Connection only.

Pivot Table with Power Pivot

• Enable Power Pivot:


o File → Options → Add-ins → Manage COM Add-ins → Check "Microsoft
Power Pivot".
• Steps:
1. Add tables to the Data Model.
2. Create relationships.

• In the Power Pivot window, go to: Diagram View.


• Drag and drop related fields to link tables
(e.g., CustomerID in Orders to CustomerID in Customers).
• This sets up Primary-Foreign Key relationships.

3. Insert PivotTable using “Use this workbook’s Data Model”.


4. Use measures and KPIs with DAX formulas.
• In Power Pivot window → Click New Measure:

TotalSales: = SUM(Sales[Amount])

To create KPIs:

• Right-click on a measure → Click Create KPI.


• Define target and thresholds (e.g., sales target = 100,000).
Database Functions

• Syntax: =DFunction(Database, Field, Criteria)

• DFUNCTION: Replace this with DSUM, DCOUNT, DMAX, DMIN, or DAVERAGE.


• database: The range of your data, including headers (e.g., A1:D20).
• field: The column to operate on — use a column name in quotes (e.g., "Sales") or
a column number (e.g., 2).
• criteria: A separate range with the same headers and the condition below (e.g., F1:F2).

Example: DSUM

• You want to sum the "Sales" column where "Region" is "West":


• Data Range (A1:C6):

Region Sales Rep


West 100 Ann
East 200 Bob
West 150 Cara
East 300 Dave
West 250 Emma

• Criteria Range (E1:E2):

Region
West

• Formula: =DSUM(A1:C6, "Sales", E1:E2)


• This will return 500 (sum of 100, 150, 250).

Advanced Filter (Criteria & Output Range)

• Steps:
1. Set up a criteria range (same headers, criteria below).
2. Go to Data → Advanced (in the Sort & Filter group).
3. Choose:
▪ Filter in-place
▪ Copy to another location
4. Define:
▪ List Range (your data)
▪ Criteria Range
▪ Copy to (if output range)

1. Set Up a Criteria Range

Steps:

1. Above or beside your data table, create a criteria range:


o Use the same column header(s) as your data.
o Type your condition(s) directly below the headers.

Example:
To filter rows where Region = West, write:

Region
West

Multiple criteria in the same row = AND


Multiple criteria in separate rows = OR

2. Open Advanced Filter

1. Click anywhere inside your data.


2. Go to the Data tab.
3. In the Sort & Filter group, click Advanced.

3. Choose Filter Type

In the Advanced Filter dialog:

• Choose one:
o Filter the list, in-place (filters within the original data)
o Copy to another location (outputs filtered data elsewhere)

4. Define Ranges

Fill in the required fields:

• List range: Select the full data table (including headers).


• Criteria range: Select your criteria area (headers + condition).
• Copy to (only if copying results): Select the cell where you want the filtered data to
appear.

All ranges must include headers.

5. Click OK

• Excel will filter based on your criteria and show the results either:
o In the original table (in-place), or
o In a new range (copied).

Example:

Data Table:

Region Sales
West 500
East 300

Criteria Range:

Region
West

Use Advanced Filter to extract just rows with Region = West.
