Learning Goals

  • learn to use relative, absolute, and mixed addresses in cell formulas
  • learn to name ranges and use them in formulas, and their advantages and drawbacks
  • learn what a cross-tabulation table (cross-tab) is and one way to calculate it in Excel
  • learn one way to list unique values

Tasks

  • Count the number of unique values in each column of the dataset
  • Name the dataset columns (use shortcut “create from selection”)
  • Count the number of genders using named ranges
  • Count the number of students in each semester
  • Count the number of males and females in each semester (create cross-tab)
  • Find the semester with the count discrepancy

By the end of the screencast your spreadsheet should look something like the image below.
