Develop a comprehensive Excel spreadsheet to facilitate tracking and analysis of fitness class enrollment at a hotel, incorporating named ranges, formulas, tables, filters, pivot tables, charts, and reports that support better decision-making for class management and booking capacity monitoring.

Paper For Above instruction

The hospitality industry continuously seeks innovative ways to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency, especially as guest amenities become a competitive differentiator. One such initiative involves integrating technological solutions to streamline fitness class management within hotel settings. This paper discusses the development of an Excel-based system designed to track, analyze, and report on guest enrollment in hotel fitness classes, facilitating informed decision-making and resource planning.

At the core of this solution is a detailed spreadsheet that consolidates multiple data facets, capturing instructor skills, class details, guest enrollment, and reporting metrics. The design begins with preparing the workbook by opening a starter file ('e03ps1_grader_h1_start.xlsx') and saving it under a personalized filename, exemplifying good data management practices. The structure includes multiple worksheets such as 'Input Data,' 'Enrollment,' 'Report,' and 'Pivot Analysis,' each serving distinct functions. Ensuring proper worksheet order and naming conventions is crucial for clarity and navigability.

To facilitate data organization and efficient analysis, named ranges are created for instructor lists and class details. On the 'Input Data' worksheet, ranges B11:H14 are designated for instructor lists, with top-row labels used as names for each range, representing instructors qualified for various classes. Similarly, ranges B4:H8 that describe the class information, such as fee, category, enrollment capacity, and split options, are named using their headers, enabling straightforward formula references. This structured approach allows for seamless data retrieval and analysis.

The 'Enrollment' worksheet employs Excel tables to organize guest registration data, with range A13:D55 converted into a formal table named 'Enrollment.' The table’s headers include Student_ID, Class, Gender, and Fee, enabling dynamic data handling. Formulas such as HLOOKUP are embedded to retrieve class-specific information, including fees and class categories, directly correlating guest registrations to class parameters. These formulas are copied down as needed to populate all relevant rows, ensuring all data points are updated automatically, reflecting any changes in class info.

Advanced filtering techniques are employed here to analyze subsets of data. Using the copy of header row A13:E13 pasted into A1:E1 as filter criteria, criteria fields such as gender ("F") and class category ("Yoga") are set in cells C2 and E2, respectively. The application of structured functions like DCOUNTA, DAVERAGE, and DSUM based on criteria ranges enables aggregation of key statistics—such as the number of female students, average fees paid by females, and total fees collected for yoga classes—providing immediate insights into guest preferences and revenue streams.

The 'Report' worksheet enhances the analytical capabilities by offering dynamic reporting tools. Users select specific classes and genders via designated 'x' marks in specified ranges. Nested functions—MATCH, INDEX, and IFERROR—are employed to extract class names and gender parameters based on user selections, with safeguards to handle cases where a selection is absent. Additional calculations include counting enrollments per class, identifying maximum capacities, and determining reservation availability status through IF functions that compare current enrollment against capacity limits.

Instructor data, stored on the 'Input Data' sheet, is further analyzed using complex functions like COUNTA, INDIRECT, INDEX, and MATCH to determine the number of instructors associated with each class. Exploiting the flexibility of these functions, the system evaluates whether a class can be split based on instructor availability and class rules specified in the data table, displaying 'Split Class' or 'Can’t Split' accordingly.

PivotTables and PivotCharts are integral for summarization and visualization. The system generates a PivotTable on a new sheet ('Pivot Analysis') by using the 'Enrollment' table, placing fields such as Student_ID, Gender, and Class Name in designated areas. Custom labels and styles enhance readability, while the PivotChart—created as a clustered column—provides a visual representation of enrollment by class and gender. Repositioning and styling of these components ensure clarity and professional appearance.

Final worksheet arrangement follows a logical order: 'Pivot Analysis,' 'Enrollment,' 'Input Data,' and 'Report,' facilitating intuitive navigation. The completed workbook is saved, closed, and prepared for submission, embodying an integrated, user-friendly tool that supports hotel fitness class management through real-time data analysis, capacity monitoring, and revenue tracking, thereby enabling proactive and data-driven decision-making.
