Demographic Data Analysis of RedTop Cemetery
This Lab exercise will used Excel (or any other spreadsheet program) to process
complex data sets. I have downloaded and reformatted a large data set from Redtop
Cemetery in Northern Boone County. This cemetery has a majority of its data
online. NOTE: Do not use the dataset from the Redtop
website. Click instead on the link below to download the data in a file that
has been formatted for excel
To complete the lab, you need:
- Excel Instructions - Print a copy of them
before you begin.
- REDTOP DATA FILE. DOWNLOAD
THIS FILE - To download on PC, right click and select "save target
as..." for Internet Explorer or "save link as...". If you are using
a Macintosh, just click on the name and a box will open asking where you
want to save the file. If you are working in a campus computer lab, you
will need to save the file on either a floppy or a zip disk.
