Basic Project Requirements (Read This)

 Basic Requirements:

· The file(s) submitted must be the appropriate file type

· .XLSX (Excel)

· .PBIX (Power BI)

· etc

· Keep the raw data untouched (unless specifically told to modify).

· Any new columns should be added after the last column in the existing data set (that way if new data is appended, the existing formulas can be copied and pasted in the following rows).

· Make sure you keep your analysis and data separate so as new data is added you don't have to redo all of your analysis work (pivots would have to be refreshed, of course).

· All analysis, unless otherwise stated, should be easily repeatable and data updates should not impact the analysis. Meaning, if you refresh or update the data source, does that break all of your equations? It shouldn't. Points will be deducted if the equations are not flexible enough to handle a data update or refresh (as data updates will occur often in analysis projects). 

· Ask if you have questions about this. 

· Make sure you have read and understood this page:  Week 2 - Keeping Data Separate from Analysis

· Make sure to number the solutions like: Part A #1, Part B #2 so that I can clearly see how each problem is answered

· Make sure to leave the formulas within the cell that provides the answer so that I can "see" your work.

· Full credit cannot be given for just answers without the ability to see the equation at work

· Make sure the appropriate files (Excel, Power BI, etc) have been uploaded for every project as appropriate so that I can see your work.

· The work you submit must be your own

· 0 credit will be earned if the work submitted is not your own

· If any outside sources are used in references to these questions, be sure to provide a proper citation and URL

· Submit your file and make sure to follow this naming convention: projectOne_LastName_FirstName.xlxs

· (e.g. projectOne_Smith_John.xlsx)

· Since there are multiple ways to accomplish goals in Excel, make sure that you are using the learning modules within the course to answer and solve these problems. To ensure full credit, you need to demonstrate that you're using the elements taught in the learning modules. Let me know if you have any questions about this.

· Again, make sure you've read this page on Flexible Equations:  Week 2 - Keeping Data Separate from Analysis
