Analytics on Spreadsheets

Why Spreadsheets?
• Many commercial software packages can be
used for Business Analytics.
• Spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel,
is widely available and used across all areas of
business.
• Spreadsheets provide a flexible modeling
environment for manipulating data and
developing and solving models.
Basic Excel Skills
• Opening, saving, and printing files
• Using workbooks and worksheets
• Moving around a spreadsheet
• Selecting cells and ranges
• Inserting/deleting rows and columns
• Entering and editing text, data, and formulas
• Formatting data (number, currency, decimal)
• Working with text strings
• Formatting data and text
• Modifying the appearance of a spreadsheet
Excel 2013 Ribbon
• Tabs - Home, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas,
…
• Groups - Font, Alignment, Number, Styles, …
• Buttons and Menus
- Buttons appear as small icons.
- Menus of additional choices are indicated
by
small triangles.
Excel Formulas
• Common mathematical operators are used.
• For example:
c
a − bP5 + d would be entered into Excel as:

=a− b*P^5 + c/d


Relative and Absolute References
• Cell references can be relative or absolute. Using a dollar sign before a
row and/or column label creates an absolute reference.
– Relative references: A2, C5, D10
– Absolute references: $A$2, $C5, D$10
• Using a $ sign before a row label (for example, B$4) keeps the
reference fixed to row 4 but allows the column reference to change if
the formula is copied to another cell.
• Using a $ sign before a column label (for example, $B4) keeps the
reference to column B fixed but allows the row reference to change.
• Using a $ sign before both the row and column labels (for example,
$B$4) keeps the reference to cell B4 fixed no matter where the formula
is copied.
Basic Excel Functions
• =MIN(range)
• =MAX(range)
• =SUM(range)
• =AVERAGE(range)
• =COUNT(range)
• =COUNTIF(range,criteria)
– Excel has other useful COUNT-type functions: COUNTA counts the
number of nonblank cells in a range, and COUNTBLANK counts the
number of blank cells in a range. In addition, COUNTIFS(range1,
criterion1, range2, criterion2,… range_n, criterion_n) finds the
number of cells within multiple ranges that meet specific criteria for
each range.
Purchase Orders data set
No Description

1 Smallest and largest quantity of any item ordered

2 Total order costs

3 Average number of months per order for accounts payable (A/P)

4 Number of purchase orders placed

5 Number of orders placed for O-rings

6 Number of orders with A/P terms shorter than 30 months

7 Number of O-ring orders from Spacetime Technologies

8 Total cost of all airframe fasterners


Basic Excel Functions
• =MIN(range)
• =MAX(range)
• =SUM(range)
• =AVERAGE(range)
• =COUNT(range)
• =COUNTIF(range,criteria)
– Excel has other useful COUNT-type functions: COUNTA counts the
number of nonblank cells in a range, and COUNTBLANK counts the
=MIN(F4:F97)
=MAX(F4:F97)
number of blank cells=SUM(G4:G97)
in a range. In addition, COUNTIFS(range1,
=AVERAGE(H4:H97)
criterion1, range2, criterion2,…
=COUNT(B4:B97) range_n, criterion_n) finds the
=COUNTIF(D4:D97,”=O-Ring”)
number of cells within multiple ranges that meet
=COUNTIF(H4:H97,”<30”)
=COUNTIFS(D4:D97,"O-Ring",A4:A97,"Spacetime specific criteria for
Technologies")

each range.
Other IF-Type Functions
• SUMIF, AVERAGEIF, SUMIFS, and AVERAGEIFS can be
used to embed IF logic within mathematical
functions.
• For instance, the syntax of SUMIF is
– SUMIF(range, criterion, [sum range]). "Sum range" is an
optional argument that allows you to add cells in a
different range.
• Example: In the Purchase Orders database, to find
the total cost of all airframe fasteners, use
=SUMIF(D4:D97,"Airframe fasteners", G4:G97)
Logical Functions
• =IF(condition, value if true, value if false) – a
returns one value if the condition is true and
another if the condition is false,
• =AND(condition1, condition2, …) – returns
TRUE if all conditions are true and FALSE if
not,
• =OR(condition1, condition2, …) – returns TRUE
if any condition is true and FALSE if not.
IF Function

• =IF(condition, value if true, value if false)


• Conditions may include the following:
= equal <> not equal to
> greater than >= greater than or equal to
< less than <= less than or equal to
• You may nest up to 7 IF functions, replacing the
value if false with another IF function
• Example:
=IF(A8 =2,(IF(B3 =5,”YES”,“ ”)),15)
Example 2.4 Using the IF Function : Purchase
Orders Data set
• Suppose that orders with quantities of at least
10,000 units are classified as Large.
– Cell K4: =IF(F4>=10000, “Large”, “Small”)
• Suppose that large orders with a total cost of at
least $25,000 are considered critical.
– Cell L4: =IF(AND(K4=“Large”,
G4>=25000),“Critical”,“”)
Lookup Functions for Database Queries
These functions are useful for finding specific
data in a spreadsheet.
• =VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range lookup]) - looks
up a value in the leftmost column of a table and returns a value in the same
row from a column you specify
• =HLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, row_index_num, [range lookup]) - looks
up a value in the top row of a table and returns a value in the same column
from a row you specify.
Sales Transactions data set
No Description

1 Find the customer ID to look up the type of payment

2 Find the customer ID to look up the type of transaction code


Example 2.5 Using the VLOOKUP Function

=VLOOKUP(10007, $A$4:$H$475,3) returns the payment type Credit.


=VLOOKUP(10007, $A$4:$H$475,4) returns the transaction code
80103311
In some modeling situations, the HLOOKUP function can be useful if the
data are arranged column by column rather row by row
Practice: Credit Risk Data dataset

• Smallest and largest amount of saving account


balance
• Total amount of saving account balance
• Average amount of saving account balance
• Number of loans provided
• Total amount of saving account balance of
Furniture Loan
• Use the COUNTIF function to determine
– How many customers applied for
• New car
• Used car
• Business
• Education
• Small appliance
• Furniture loan
– The number of customer with checking account balances
less than $500.

• Use the IF function to include new columns, classifying


the checking and savings account balances as low if
the balance is less than $250, medium if between
$250 nut less than $2000 and high otherwise.
