Project Description:

You are the systems manager for Blue City Movies Rentals and you have been asked to create a report on historical sales data. To complete your task you will combine and edit data from multiple sources using Excel’s Power add-ins, XML, and text functions.

     

Start Excel. Download and open   the file named Exp22_Excel_Ch10_CumulativeAssessment-MovieRentals.xlsx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename.

 

Use Get & Transform (Power   Query) to load the file e10c2Movies.txt   to the existing worksheet starting in cell A1. After loading the information   to the worksheet, add it to the data model. 

 

Rename the worksheet Movies.

 

Use Get & Transform (Power   Query) to load the Account table from the xml file e10c2Contacts.xml into a new worksheet. Be sure to add the   information to the data model.

 

Rename the worksheet Contacts.

 

Use Get & Transform (Power   Query) to load the Rates table from the file e10c2Rates.xlsx into a new worksheet. Be sure to add the   information to the data model. 

 

Rename the worksheet Rates.

 

Use Get & Transform (Power   Query) to load the StoreInfo table located in the database e10c2Transactions.accdb into a new   worksheet. Be sure to add the information to the data model.  

 

Rename the worksheet StoreInfo

 

Use Get & Transform (Power   Query) to load the Transactions table located in the database e10c2Transactions.accdb in the Power   Query Editor. Use the Power Query Editor to change the format of the Date   column from Date and Time to Date. Load the edited data to a new worksheet,   making sure to add the information to the data model.

 

Rename the worksheet Transactions.

 

Create a relationship between   the Account table Account field and Transactions table Account field. 

 

Create a relationship between   the StoreInfo table Store# and the Transactions table Store#.

 

Use PowerPivot to create a   PivotTable and clustered column PivotChart Horizontal on a new worksheet.   Name the worksheet TotalEarnings. Use the Transactions table Date field in the   Filters area, Account table Type field and Last field in the Rows area, and   Transactions table Total field in the Values area. 

 

Add the chart title Total   Earnings.

 

Use 3D Map (Power Maps) to   create a geographical visualization of sales data by store. Use the StoreInfo   Zip as the location dimension and the Transactions Total as the height   dimension. Zoom in as needed to view results.

 

Save and close Exp22_Excel_Ch10_CumulativeAssessment-MovieRentals.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

Assignment

Blockchain – Journal

This week’s reading introduced an overview of blockchain security. Think of the sensitive data that your organization collects and handles. Would you be able to provide for the security of that data on a public blockchain? If so, what changes would you have to make to your software to support security on a public blockchain? If your organization doesn’t handle any sensitive data, describe a role that you may pursue in the future, and how that role may interact with sensitive data. Use that scenario to describe whether you would be able to provide for the security of that data on a public blockchain.

Discussion

Why are firewalls so important within an IT environment? What are the different firewalls and are all types still in use today? What concepts/inputs would you consider when updating an out-of-date firewall within an IT environment?

Your initial post should be 250-300 words. There must be at least two APA formatted references (and APA in-text citation) to support your thoughts in the post. Do not use direct quotes, rather rephrase the author’s words and continue to use in-text citations.

Develop a Java application that plays

  

Develop a Java application that plays a “guess the number” game as described below.
a) Your application first gets a random number in the range 1-1000 inclusive (you might want to use Math.random() or the Random class).
b) The application then displays the following prompt (probably via a JLabel):
I have a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess my number?
Please enter your first guess.
Post a textbox for the user to enter a number and post a message telling the user to hit ‘Enter’ after entering a guess in a textbox (probably using a JTextField).
c) Input the user’s guess in the code for a previously-registered event-handler method (consider using the event-handling approach discussed in the text, or the actionPerformed() method of class based on the ActionListener interface, which will require some additional research outside the text).
d) For the first guess, color the entire background red, meaning that they are getting warmer (you might want to use the setBackground() method for a container). If this is the second or later guess, and they are further from the correct number than the last guess, then color the entire background blue. If they get the correct number then color the background some other color than red or blue.
e) If the user guessed the number correctly, respond with their number, post a congratulatory message, get a new random number, and display a JButton to start a new game. Otherwise, to help the user close in on the correct number, post a message, with their guessed number, whether they are “TOO HIGH” or “TOO LOW” from the correct number, and whether they are “WARMER” or “COLDER” (this should match the background color). Also report the guess number of the next guess (e.g. “Enter guess number nnn”). You might want to use a concatenated string in JLabel for these incorrect guess messages.
f) The process is repeated each game until the user guesses the correct number. Be sure that you erase obsolete status messages.
