Data Processing Tools
Introduction:
A data processing tool is software or a computer program
designed to perform various tasks related to managing,
manipulating, and analyzing data. These tools are used to
streamline and automate data-related tasks, making it easier for
individuals and organizations to work with data efficiently.
Data processing tools come in various forms and serve
different purposes, depending on the specific needs of users.

Learning Objectives
Become familiar with the basic interface of Excel 2013
Learn to create, edit and delete worksheets
Format/modify tables (basic and advanced)
Use formulas
Understanding Referencing
Create graphs and charts
Use pivot tables and pivot charts

Some popular Data Processing tools include:
Microsoft Excel
Google Sheets
LibreOffice Calc

Features of Data Processing Tools
Data Import and Export: Ability to import data from
various sources (e.g., files, databases, web), and export
processed data to different formats
Data Transformation: Tools for cleaning, reshaping, and
structuring data, including functions for filtering, sorting,
and aggregating.

Formula and Function Support: Formulas and functions
for performing calculations and operations on data, similar
to Excel's formulas.
Data Visualization: Tools for creating charts, graphs, and
visual representations of data to aid in analysis and
reporting.
Filtering and Querying: Features to filter and query data
based on specific criteria or conditions.

Data Joining and Merging: Capabilities to combine data
from multiple sources through joins or merges.
Data Validation and Error Checking: Functions to

Conditional Formatting:
Conditional formatting feature lets you dynamically format a
cell's background and text style based on custom rules that
you set. A rule in Excel operates as an if/then statement.

Rules:
"If any cells
between cells C3
and C14 contain a
value of less than
100, then change
that cell's
background color to
light yellow." .

It's important to understand the three key components that
make up every conditional formatting rule.
Range: A range can be anything from a single cell to
multiple cells across different rows and columns. The
range indicates which cell (or cells) the rule applies to. In
the example above, the range is C3 to C14.
Condition: This is the "if" part of the if/then rule. You can
choose from more than a dozen options, including greater
than, less than, between, and so on.

It's important to understand the three key components that
make up every conditional formatting rule.
Formatting: This is the "then" part of the if/then rule. It
refers to the formatting that should apply to any given cell
if the conditions are met. In the example above, the style is
"background color to light yellow."

Click Conditional Formatting. Then select Manage Rules.

Sorting:-
Sorting in Excel is a fundamental operation that allows
you to arrange data in a worksheet in a specific order
based on one or more criteria. This can be useful for
quickly organizing data and making it easier to analyze.

Sorting:-
Select the Data Range:
Click on a cell within the column you want to sort by.
This will help Excel understand which column you
want to sort. If you want to sort the entire worksheet,
select any cell within your data.

Open the Sort Dialog Box:
 There are several ways to access the sort options:
 Click on the "Sort & Filter" button on the Home tab of the Excel
ribbon. Then, select "Custom Sort" from the dropdown.
 Right-click on the selected cell and choose "Sort" from the context
menu.
 You can also use the keyboard shortcut: Alt + D + S. is the "then" part
of the if/then rule. It refers to the formatting that should apply to any
given cell if the conditions are met. In the example above, the style is
"background color to light yellow."

Custom Sort Dialog Box:
 In the Custom Sort dialog box, you can specify your sorting preferences:
 Sort By: Choose the column by which you want to sort the data from the "Sort
by" dropdown list.
 Sort On: Specify how you want to sort (e.g., values, cell color, font color, etc.).
Most of the time, you'll select "Values."
 Order: Choose between "A to Z" (ascending) or "Z to A" (descending) for text or
"Smallest to Largest" or "Largest to Smallest" for numbers.
 Add Level: You can add multiple sorting levels if you want to sort by more than
one column. Excel will apply the sorting in the order you define here.

Filtering :-
 Filtering in Excel allows you to temporarily hide rows
that do not meet specific criteria, making it easier to focus
on the data that is relevant to your analysis.
 Filters are a powerful feature that allows you to
selectively display rows of data in a spreadsheet based on
specific criteria.
 You can filter data based on conditions, text, numbers,
dates, and more

How to Apply Filters :-
 Select Your Data: First, ensure that your data is
organized in a tabular format, with column headers in the
first row.
 Enable Filters:
Click on any cell within your data range.
Go to the "Data" tab in the Excel ribbon.
You'll find the "Sort & Filter" group, which includes the
"Filter" button. Click on the "Filter" button.

 Dropdown Arrows: Once filters are enabled, you'll see
small dropdown arrows appear in the header cells of your
columns.
 Filtering Data:
 Click the dropdown arrow in the column you want to
filter. A menu with filter options will appear. You can:
 Select specific items to show/hide by
checking/unchecking boxes.

 Clear Filters:
To clear a filter and show all data again, click the
"Select All" checkbox at the top of the filter menu.
To clear all filters in the entire worksheet, click "Clear"
in the "Sort & Filter" group on the "Data" tab..

 Multiple Filters: You can apply filters to multiple
columns simultaneously, which allows you to create
complex filter criteria.
 Custom Filters: Excel also provides the option to create
custom filters where you can specify your own criteria.

Charts :-
 Data Processing tools offers a wide range of chart
types that you can use to visualize your data .
 Charts can help you understand trends, patterns, and
relationships within your data more effectively

Creating a Charts :-
 Select Data: First, make sure you have your data
organized in a tabular format with column headers. Select
the data range you want to include in your chart.
 Insert a Chart:
 Go to the "Insert" tab
 In the "Charts" group, you'll see various chart types like
column, bar, pie, line, scatter, and more.
 Click on the chart type that suits your data. Excel will insert a
blank chart into your worksheet.

Customizing the Chart:-
 Adding Data Labels
You can add data labels to your chart to display specific values. Right-click on
chart elements (like bars or data points) and choose "Add Data Labels."
 Changing Chart Title and Axis Titles
Click on the chart title or axis titles, and you can edit them directly the chart.
 Formatting Chart Elements:
Right-click on any chart element (axes, legend, data series, etc.) and choose
"Format" to change colors, fonts, and other formatting options

Customizing the Chart:-
 Switching Rows and Columns:
Depending on how your data is structured, you may need to switch the rows
and columns in your chart. You can do this by clicking the "Switch
Row/Column" button in the "Design" tab when you have the chart selected.
 Changing Chart Type:
You can change the chart type at any time. Select the chart, go to the "Design"
tab, and choose a new chart type from the "Change Chart Type" dropdown.

Formulas :-
 Formulas are one of the most powerful features in Data
Processing tools
 They allow you to perform calculations, manipulate data,
and automate tasks within your spreadsheets.

Formulas :-
 Basic Formula Syntax:
 Formulas in Excel start with an equal sign (=).
 You can use mathematical operators like + (addition), -
(subtraction), * (multiplication), and / (division) to perform
calculations.
 You can reference cells in your formula using cell references.
For example, to add the values in cells A1 and B1, you would
enter "=A1+B1" into another cell.

Formulas:-
 Cell References:
 Absolute References: If you want a reference to remain fixed
when you copy the formula to other cells, use a dollar sign ($).
For example, "$A$1" is an absolute reference to cell A1.
 Relative References: If you don't use any dollar signs, the
reference is relative, and it adjusts when you copy the formula to
other cells. For example, "A1" is a relative reference.

Formulas:-
 Common Functions:
 Excel provides a wide range of built-in functions for various
purposes, such as SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN, IF,
VLOOKUP, and more.
 Functions are followed by parentheses, and you provide
arguments within the parentheses. For example, "=SUM(A1:A5)"
adds the values in cells A1 through A5.
