Hour 9 or 30.

Today I have created my database and imported the data from the text file I aquired from Edexcel website. I have changed the name of the Fields and have also validated the Target Audience field, so that I won't be able to change any data. If you don't believe me, don't worry - I have hardcore evidence. Anyway, I'm working on my spreadsheet at home so hopefully I'll have it done by Monday (if I'll feel better.) ^.^

Hour 7 and 8 of 30.

During these two hours, all I have done was worked on my spreadsheet. I've been trying to do countif data for all of my questions, and sadly, I just got up to question 5. I need to speed up, because I am falling behind my schedule. Also, my test buddy has pointed out that in my spreadsheet, some parents have submitted too many answers for one question - therefore it has messed up my data and now my graphs for this data are not accurate enough. I have decided to redo my questionnaire results, this time informing parents about selecting only FIVE options for question about their child's five favourite activities (looks like some parents missed out the FIVE part of the question, but it is human error, unfortunately.)

Hour 6 of 30.

Today, we started to put our results of our questionnaire into the spreadsheet. It is quite tricky and time consuming because you have to go through every questionnaire and copy results from it onto the spreadsheet. I am also falling behind on my plan, as today, I should've done the database work, however, I'm still on my spreadsheet. I need to find a way to speed up.

Hour 5 of 30.

Today, we looked at spreadsheet formulas of COUNTA and COUNTIF, exploring what they are and how they work. We also tested them on our little spreadsheets, that actually, have nothing to do with out project, yet still is useful, since most likely, we will use it our own spreadsheets for the questionnaire results.
