Pivot Tables and Beyond Data Analysis in Excel 2013 - Course Technology Compu...Cengage Learning
Pivot Tables and Beyond Data Analysis in Excel 2013 - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Patrick Carey, Cengage Learning Author
Excel is sometimes called the most popular "database" in the world, not because it's a database but because it makes data so accessible that users often turn to spreadsheets for data entry. Yet for all that, Excel's tools for data analysis and modeling remain largely untapped by the average user. In this, pivot tables may be the most powerful and least utilized tool for data exploration. In this presentation we'll examine some of the new enhancements to pivot tables introduced in Excel 2013. We'll examine how to set up relationships using the Excel Data Model to summarize information across multiple data tables. And then we'll go beyond, exploring the data modeling and data visualizing tools provided by the PowerPivot and Power View add-ins, interpreting data not just numerically but through visual imagery, charts, and interactive maps.

ACTG Tableau intro lab
Download the TableauLab file and look over the fields. These are the fields from the FoodiesNW file you’ll use for your individual dashboard project. I created this file by selecting all fields in all the files in Access, so there are duplicates. I also added some calculations fields to the file:
Ext Gross is the extension of price X quantity; Ext Net is the extension of price X quantity, net of discount
Open Tableau and connect to Excel data. Select the TableauLab file and drag the file to the location that says Drag Files Here. Select Extract in the upper right so that Tableau will make a copy of your data. Click on the tab at the bottom that says Sheet1 to begin your first visualization.
How much is your total sales for the past 3 years?
Move the ExtNet field to the center of the sheet (similar to the values area in a pivot table). Then move it to the Rows and Columns shelves to see what happens. Then click on the first icon in the show me area – it looks like a worksheet. That icon turns your graph back into a tabular format and moves the ExtNet field over to the Marks section and lables it as text.
SHEET 1: In which time period did you sell most?
Move the Order Date field to the Rows shelf and then to the Columns shelf. Click on various graph types on the right hand side to see what happens, and then return to a tabular format.
**To create a vertical bar chart, you may need to use the Swap Rows and Columns icon in the toolbar – it has a curved arrow.
**You can sort the fields in a graph from high to low, low to high, and back to the starting position, by clicking on the icon right next to the Ext Net label on your graph
In which quarter did you sell most? Month?
Click on the drop down menu on the Order Date field in the Columns shelf and select Quarter and then Month. View this data in charts and tabular format. Change it to a line graph.
** To zoom in and out on a part of the graph, double-click, or hold Shift and double-click. Or, click the table Icon, and then
Now move a second copy of the Order Date field to the Columns shelf, so that you have years first, and then quarters or months. Return to a bar graph. Does this change your perspective on yearly sales?
** Now filter out dates so that your range ends at the end of the last quarter, on 3/31/18 by moving a copy of the Order Date field to the Filters area and selecting Range of dates.
Double click on Sheet 1 and change its name to Sales by Quarter. Notice that the title above the graph changes too.
SHEET 2: Which product categories and products have you sold most of?
Click on the symbol next to the Sheet 1 tab to add another sheet. Move the Ext Net field to the Label icon in the Marks section. Then move Category Name to the Rows Shelf. Which is the most popular category?
How has that changed over the quarters? Filter the Order Dates so they end at 3/31/18. Move Order Date to the Columns shelf and select Quarter. Select the .

Tutorial for
Beginners
WHAT IS TABLEAU?
Tableau is an easy to use business intelligence software. It makes data visualization, data analytics,
and reporting as easy as dragging and dropping. Anyone can learn to use Tableau without having
a prior programming experience. Tableau can combine data from various data sources such as
spreadsheets, databases, cloud data, and even big data- all into one program to perform dynamic
analysis.
WHY TABLEAU?
Whether it’s small or large, profitable or non-profit, every organization needs to analyze their
data for optimal decision making. Analyzing data has never been easier with traditional business
intelligence tools.
Here are some of the advantages of using Tableau over the traditional BI tools:
Traditional Method Tableau
Requires specific programming skills No programming skills required
Focused on only one type of database Combines different types of database
spreadsheets, databases, cloud data, and even
big data such as Hadoop
Time consuming Time saving
Decision makers have to ask the IT people to
retrieve any information from the database
Decision makers can directly use the
dashboard to retrieve any information from
the database
Largely depends on Query languages Query is done behind the scene
Combining different types of database is
difficult
Different types of databases can be
combined easily
Not every business intelligence tool offers
interactive dashboard
Interactive dashboard is easy to build and it
makes data visualization quick and efficient
Comparatively expensive Comparatively affordable
Mostly designed for large businesses Perfect BI solution for small, medium, and
large businesses, and even for non-profits
Tableau is the next generation’s business intelligence software that brings traditional complex
analytics to the end user in a desktop environment with dynamic and faster performance.
CONNECTING TO EXCEL FILE
There are many ways to connect to data as you can see on left side.
Navigate to the bottom and click on Sample-Superstore as shown here.
This is data that came with your installation of Tableau.
Now you are in the data connection window, It looks somewhat like the following-
Notice there are three sheets in this file-
Orders, People, and Returns. You can simply drag
the table you want. If you drag more than one
table, Tableau automatically creates the join
between the tables.
CREATING CHARTS
Creating charts based on the data we connected is easy. At the bottom of the page, Click on a
sheet (sheet 1) and we will see the following screen:
Tableau automatically
separates the data into
Dimensions and Measures.
Dimensions are the
categorical fields. These
fields will create labels in the
chart. Measures are the
quantitative fields. These are
the numbers we want to
analyze. They create axis in
the chart.
After adding Order Date, Category, and Sales, the chart looks li ...

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

5. What is SAP BusinessObjects Explorer?
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer is a web-based search and exploration
application that enables business professionals to explore and search through
business information. By selecting from available values, you can focus the
data set to the set of KPIs that interests you for a specific business question.
By default, a ready-formatted chart displays the application's best guess data
selection. As your data selection evolves, when you ask yourself further
questions, so does the graphical representation of the results. You can easily
switch chart formats, sort or rank the presented data depending on your
preferred analysis.
It is easy to export results of your personal exploration view either as an
image or into other applications such as SAP BusinessObjects Web
Intelligence or CSV-compatible office applications to continue further
calculations or build reports.
Note:
This document is designed to provide an overview of the key features
available in the application and the instructions necessary to use those
features. For full information on using SAP BusinessObjects Explorer, refer
to the Help from the application toolbar.

1. Verify you are on the "Home" tab.
2. Type a string into the "Search" field.
For example, if you want to analyze data related to Mobile phone sales
by brand in a specific time period, you could type: "2008 Q4 sales mobile
phone brands"
The list of Search results includes each available data set that contains
data or metadata contained in your search string. In SAP BusinessObjects
Explorer, a data set is referred to as an Information Space.
The Information Spaces listed in the Search results are prioritized by
weighted scoring.
3. To open the Information Space that interests you, simply click its title.
An exploration panel opens. From here, you can search and explore the
data further to analyze the information most relevant to your specific
business question. As you select information, you build up your personal
exploration view. You can save your exploration view, in order to return
to it later, or share your exploration view with others.
