Select any example visualization or infographic and imagine the contextual factors have changed:

1. If the selected project was a static work, what ideas do you have for potentially making it usefully interactive? How might you approach the design if it had to work on both mobile/tablet and desktop?
2. If the selected project was an interactive work, what ideas do you have for potentially deploying the same project as a static work? What compromises might you have to make in terms of the interactive features that wouldn’t now be viable?
3. What about the various annotations that could be used? Thoroughly explain all of the annotations, color, composition, and other various components to the visualization.
4. What other data considerations should be considered and why? 
5. Update the graphic using updated data, in the tool of your choice (that we’ve used in the course), explain the differences.

Be sure to show the graphic (before and after updates) and then answer the questions fully above.  This assignment should take into consideration all the course concepts in the book.  Be very thorough in your response.  Do not copy paste or do not use previous assignments. The paper should be at least three pages in length and contain at least two-peer reviewed sources.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch09_Cap_Assessment_Tips.xlsx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename.
 

  The Excel workbook contains circular references. When you open the file, an   error message displays. This error will be resolved as part of the project

2

The   Tip Left column in the Friday worksheet contains a fill color and number   formatting. You want to fill these formats to the other daily worksheets.
 

  Group the Friday through Monday worksheets, staring with the Friday   worksheet. Fill the format only for the range E5:E24.

3

Now   you want to insert column totals for the five worksheets simultaneously.
 

  With the worksheets still grouped, insert SUM functions in the range B25:E25   and apply the Totals cell style. Ungroup the worksheets.

4

The   Week worksheet is designed to be a summary sheet. You want to insert a   hyperlink to the Total heading in the Monday worksheet.
 

  On the Week worksheet, in cell A5, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the   Monday worksheet with the ScreenTip text Monday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to   ensure it works correctly.

5

In   cell A6 on the Week worksheet, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the Tuesday   worksheet with the ScreenTip text Tuesday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to   ensure it works correctly.

6

In   cell A7, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the Wednesday worksheet with the   ScreenTip text Wednesday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to ensure it works   correctly.

7

In   cell A8, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the Thursday worksheet with the   ScreenTip text Thursday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to ensure it works   correctly.

8

In   cell A9, insert a hyperlink to cell A25 in the Friday worksheet with the   ScreenTip text Friday’s Totals. Test the hyperlink to ensure it works   correctly.

9

Now,   you are ready to insert references to cells in the individual worksheets.   First, you will insert a reference to Monday’s Food Total.
 

  In cell B5 on the Week worksheet, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to   cell B25 in the Monday worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C5:E5.

10

The   next formula will display the totals for Tuesday.
 

  In cell B6, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Tuesday   worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C6:E6.

11

In   cell B7, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Wednesday   worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C7:E7.

12

In   cell B8, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Thursday   worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C8:E8.

13

In   cell B9, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Friday   worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C9:E9.

14

Now   you want to use a function with a 3-D reference to calculate the totals.
 

  In cell B10 on the Week worksheet, insert the SUM function with a 3-D   reference to calculate the total Food purchases (cell B25) for the five days.   Copy the function to the range C10:E10.

15

The   servers are required to share a portion of their tips with the Beverage   Worker and Assistants. The rates are stored in another file.
 

  Open the Exp_Excel_Ch09_Cap_Assessment_Rates.xlsx   workbook. Go back to the Exp_Excel_Ch09_Cap_Assessment_Tips.xlsx   workbook. In cell F5 of the Week worksheet, insert a link to the Beverage   Worker Tip Rate (cell C4 in the Rates workbook) and multiply the rate by the   Monday Drinks (cell C5). Copy the formula to the range F6:F9.

16

Next,   you will calculate the tips for the assistant.
 

  In cell G5 in the Tips workbook, insert a link to the Assistant Tip Rate   (cell C5 in the Rates workbook) and multiply the rate by the Monday Subtotal   (cell D5). Copy the formula to the range G6:G9. Close the Rates workbook.
 

  Note: The tip is a monetary value in the Week worksheet. It should be   formatted for Accounting Number Format.

17

You   noticed a circular error when you first opened the Tips workbook. Now you   will find and correct it.
 

  On the Week worksheet, check for errors and correct the formula with the   circular reference. 

18

You   want to create a validation rule to prevent the user from accidentally   entering a negative value. For now, you will create a validation in the   Friday worksheet.
 

  Select the range E5:E24 in the Friday worksheet, create a validation rule to   allow a decimal value greater than or equal to zero. Enter the input message   title Tip and   the input message Enter the amount of tip. (including the   period). Use the Stop alert with the error alert title Invalid Number and the error   alert message   The tip must be zero or more. (including the period). Test the   data validation by attempting to enter -20 in cell E5 and then cancel the change.

19

Now   you will copy the validation settings to the other daily worksheets.
 

  Copy the range E5:E24 in the Friday worksheet. Group the Monday through   Thursday worksheets, select the range E5:E24, and use Paste Special   Validation to copy the validation settings.

20

You   want to unlock data-entry cells so that the user can change the tips in the   daily worksheets.
 

  Group the Monday through Friday worksheets. Select the ranges E5:E24 and   unlock these cells.

21

Create   footer with your name on the left side, the sheet name code in the center,   and the file name code on the right side of all worksheets.

22

Now   that you unlocked data-entry cells, you are ready to protect the worksheets   to prevent users from changing data in other cells. Individually, protect   each sheet using the default allowances without a password.

23

Mark   the workbook as final.
 

  Note: Mark as Final is not available in Excel for Mac. Instead, use Always   Open Read-Only on the Review tab.

24

Save   and close Exp19_Excel_Ch09_Cap_Assessment_Tips.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

Please upload a Word document (or equivalent) for the Case Study 4.4 Chapter 4 problem. You only need to respond to the questions at the end of the case problem. 

Refer to the AWS Customer Success web page where you can read case studies. You can search case studies by Company Type or by Solution to find studies for this assignment.

GTR is pleased with the report you submitted, which addressed many of the concerns with AWS. They are getting closer to moving forward with the decision to adopt AWS for their cloud computing; however, they are interested in finding out if/how other large retailers have used AWS to solve challenges. As the IT Architect, prepare a summary of at least 3 or 4 case studies with citations, to help them see how other retailers were able to use the cloud technology.

Write a 2- to 3-page summary of 3 or 4 case studies including: 

• Define performance architecture.
• Describe the issue or challenge the retailer wished to solve in each case study.
• Discuss how they used the technology and their outcome. 
• Discuss common challenges among the retailers and how the solutions may relate to GTR. 
• Explain how you think AWS can help GTR create performance architectures based on outcomes for the retailers in the case studies.

Cite the study and any other sources using APA guidelines and provide attribution, where appropriate.
