Gather Statistical Data About Any Foreign Country Like P

Instructions: Gather statistical data about any foreign country, like population sex, age, religion, income, industry, or other demographic data of your choice. (You may even make up this data if you like including the "country" because it is only to be used as source for this exercise; therefore, DO NOT spend too much time in this task as it is not really critical for this project!). Then: PowerPoint (A): Create a PowerPoint presentation with 4 blank slides and save it as PresentationProject.pptx Slide 1, this is your Title slide. Here you must simply write the name you want to give to your project. Slide 2, here you are going to create a bulleted list to show "only" three mayor points regarding the country you chose that may be of interest to potential visitors. Excel: Create an Excel workbook with only two worksheets, name the first Worksheet Summary and the second Chart , then save the workbook as ExcelProject .xlsx Select Summary worksheet and create a basic table to show the data you are using for your project. Select Chart worksheet and using data from the table created in worksheet Summary, create a chart (Pie or Columnar) to show a graphical representation of the data you are working with. Word: Create a blank Word document and save it as WordProject.docx Here you need to select the table from the Excel Worksheet created to complete step 2-b and Link it into the Word document. (All I need to see in the Word document is the table linked to the Excel workbook, please DO NOT write anything else) (select the table, copy and then Paste Special into the document if you are using version 2007 or 2010 and if you are using versions 2013, 2016, 365 or any of the new ones select 'Link & keep source formatting' option from the Paste Options of the Paste control/Clipboard Group/Home Tab). This way you will see that each time you make any change or update the table in Excel the table in Word also will change/update automatically. Play with this a little, it is neat! PowerPoint (B): Slide 3, here you need to embed the Excel Chart created to complete step 2-c.(select the chart, copy and then paste it into the slide). Access: Create a database containing only one table and that table must contain only four Fields. Save this database as DatabaseProject.accdb. The first field must be the Primary Key (you can use AutoNumber, that is the easier and actually the default data type for a Primary Key unless you need to change it manually because your database design requires that). After you build your table, insert data to be able to generate only five records. Keep this database very simple, “BASIC’ just to show that you understand the foundations about creating a database. PowerPoint (C): Slide 4, open the Access table from step 5 and in Datasheet View select and copy the three first records of the database and paste them as a table into slide 4. (NO a screen shot, NO a picture). By the end of the project you need to have: A PowerPoint Presentation with 4 slides. An Excel workbook with 2 worksheets. A Word document. An Access database. As you already may have noticed, this is a very simple exercise with very basic components. The learning goal of this project is not based in the complexity of the activity, the main goal is to introduce you to a real industry like online team collaboration scenario just like any you might have in the real industry setting.

Paper For Above instruction

Gather Statistical Data About Any Foreign Country Like P

The primary objective of this project is to simulate a comprehensive data collection and presentation exercise involving multiple software tools, including PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Access. The task is designed to develop familiarity with basic functionalities of each application while fostering skills in data organization, visualization, and integration within a collaborative workflow. Although the assignment involves gathering statistical data about a foreign country, the emphasis is on creating representative sample data, which can be fabricated if necessary, as the focus remains on dexterity with the software tools rather than data accuracy or international research.

Step 1: Data Collection

Initially, students are instructed to collect or fabricate relevant statistical data pertaining to a chosen foreign country. Such data may encompass demographic aspects like population breakdown by sex and age, religious composition, income levels, dominant industries, or other socio-economic indicators. The data collection phase is intended to be flexible; students may create hypothetical data points to facilitate subsequent steps. It is stressed that the primary purpose is to serve as a source for further documentation and presentation activities, not to undertake in-depth country research.

Step 2: PowerPoint Presentation

In PowerPoint, students are to create a presentation with four blank slides, labeled as follows:

1. Title Slide: Only include the project name.
2. Visitor Interest Points: Create a bulleted list of three major insights or features about the chosen country that might be appealing to tourists.
3. Embedded Content: Embed an Excel chart that visualizes some aspect of the data. To do this, copy the chart from Excel and paste it into this slide.
4. Data Sample: In PowerPoint, copy three records from the Excel linked table and paste them as a table into this slide. The pasted table must be linked so that updates in Excel are reflected in PowerPoint.

Step 3: Excel Workbook Creation

Students are required to set up an Excel workbook with two sheets named "Summary" and "Chart". The "Summary" sheet should contain a basic data table summarizing the collected information. Using this data, create a chart—either pie or column—and display it in the "Chart" sheet. The chart should visually represent the data from the "Summary" sheet.

Step 4: Word Document and Data Linking

Create a blank Word document and link the data table from the Excel "Summary" worksheet into it using Paste Special or the appropriate linking feature. The linked table should automatically update when changes are made in Excel, demonstrating functional data integration between the applications.

Step 5: Access Database

Create a simple Access database containing a single table with four fields, including an AutoNumber primary key. Populate this table with five records. This exercise is meant to illustrate fundamental database concepts such as table creation, primary keys, and data entry.

Step 6: Data Transfer into PowerPoint

Open the Access table and copy the first three records, then paste them as an editable table into the final PowerPoint slide. The table should be directly pasted, not as a screenshot or picture, to showcase integration of database data into presentations.

Learning Outcome

This project aims to familiarize students with essential features of Microsoft Office applications and demonstrate basic knowledge of data management workflows. By connecting multiple tools and understanding data flow between them, students gain foundational skills relevant to industry environments where teamwork, data accuracy, and presentation are vital. The simplicity of this exercise is intentional, focusing on process over complexity, with the ultimate goal of understanding how software tools support real-world informational tasks.
