Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients - Part 2 Next, we will create a table and a column chart for the conservator field in my database. Because we are creating a column chart, Excel will not compute the percentages for each column as it does for a pie chart. When we created the chart for age, we calculated the percentages with Excel formulas. For the table on conservators, we will create percentages as part of the pivot table, using two copies of the same variable in the data area of the pivot table. The first instance of the variable will be displayed as the count of cases in the category. The second instance of the variable will be display as the percent of the cases in each category of the column of values. We will use the data from the pivot table to create a column chart for conservator, though we could just as easily have created a bar chart. This tutorial builds on Profiling the Demographic Characteristics of Agency Clients - Part 1, using the same data file as the source (ClientDemographics.xls) and assuming that the tables and charts created in part 1 have been saved to the workbook ClientDemographicProfile.xls.

Select PivotTable Report for Conservator Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 2Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin First, select any cell within the list, e.g. A1. Second, select the PivotTable and PivotChart Report command from the Data menu to open the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard dialog box. If we are interested in tallying how many cases fall into each category of a variable, we can create a pivot table that gives us this information.

Step 1: verify the source of data and kind of report Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 3Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin Click on the Next button. On step 1 of the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard, we indicate the source of the data for the report and indicate what type of report we want to produce. Since the data for the table is in a Excel list from which we want to create a PivotTable, we accept the default data source and Kind of report to create.

Step 2: verify the location of the data for the table Since the list is the data source, click on the Next button to go to Step 3. On step 2 of the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard, we indicate the location of the data for the report. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 4Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin Excel shows the range as the entire list, including the row for the headers, A1 through D79. Selecting the entire table will enable us to choose to include any field in the list when we are laying out the structure of the table.

Step 2: choose to use the same source data - 1 Excel created its own copy of the data used for the first pivot table. We can use that source if we choose so we do not make a second internal copy of the data which would increase the size of the application. Click on the Yes button to reuse the source data. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 5Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Step 2: choose to use the same source data - 2 Since the first pivot table we created contains the original copy of the data, we choose it. Click on the Next button to reuse the source data for pivot table 1 and go to Step 3. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 6Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Step 3: locate the table on a new worksheet We want to put all the pivot tables we create on the one worksheet named PivotTables, so we click on the Existing worksheet option button. Finally, click on the Finish button to complete the table. In the text box, we type the worksheet name and cell for the upper left corner of the pivot table, PivotTables!A18. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 7Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin On step 3 of the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard, we indicate the destination worksheet for our table and the cell where the upper left corner of the table will be positioned.

Adding conservator to the table as the row variable Hold the mouse button down on the icon by the Conservator variable, drag the icon to the left and drop it on the section of the table marked Drop Row Fields Here. When we finish with the pivot table wizard, Excel creates a layout template on the worksheet that we specified for the report. We create the contents of the pivot table by dropping fields from our lists on the template.

The table and chart for the Breakdown by Conservator are now complete. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 29Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

There are times when we want to display cumulative counts and percents for a variable. In cumulative counts or percents, each category represents the number that fell in that category plus all previous categories. In this example, we will look at cumulative prior days in care, for which each category starts a 0 days through the upper bound for that category. The Excel pivot table has an option for a field to compute a running total, which is the same as a cumulative count. To display the pattern of the data, we will use a column chart, though I could use a line chart because the horizontal axis is based on the dimension of time. However, since line charts are used to display change over time, I will opt for the column chart. A cumulative table and chart for prior days in care Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 30Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Select PivotTable Report to create a tally for prior days First, select any cell within the list, e.g. A1. Second, select the PivotTable and PivotChart Report command from the Data menu to open the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard dialog box. If we are interested in tallying how many cases fall into each category of a variable, we can create a pivot table that gives us this information.

Step 1: verify the source of data and kind of report Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 32Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin Click on the Next button. On step 1 of the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard, we indicate the source of the data for the report and indicate what type of report we want to produce. Since the data for the table is in a Excel list from which we want to create a PivotTable, we accept the default data source and Kind of report to create.

Step 2: verify the location of the data for the table Since the list is the data source, click on the Next button to go to Step 3. On step 2 of the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard, we indicate the location of the data for the report. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 33Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin Excel shows the range as the entire list, including the row for the headers, A1 through D79. Selecting the entire table will enable us to choose to include any field in the list when we are laying out the structure of the table.

Step 2: choose to use the same source data Excel created its own copy of the data used for the first pivot table. We can use that source if we choose so we do not make a second internal copy of the data which would increase the size of the application. Click on the Yes button to reuse the source data. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 34Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Step 2: choose to use the same source data Since the first pivot table we created contains the original copy of the data, we choose it. Click on the Next button to reuse the source data for pivot table 1 and go to Step 3. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 35Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Step 3: locate the table on a new worksheet We want to put all the pivot tables we create on the one worksheet named PivotTables, so we click on the Existing worksheet option button. Finally, click on the Finish button to complete the table. In the text box, we type the worksheet name and cell for the upper left corner of the pivot table, PivotTables!A27. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 36Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin On step 3 of the PivotTable and PivotChart Wizard, we indicate the destination worksheet for our table and the cell where the upper left corner of the table will be positioned.

Adding prior days to the table as the row variable - 1 Hold the mouse button down on the icon by the Prior days in care variable, drag the icon to the left and drop it on the section of the table marked Drop Row Fields Here. When we finish with the pivot table wizard, Excel creates a layout template on the worksheet that we specified for the report. We create the contents of the pivot table by dropping fields from our lists on the template. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 37Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Adding prior days to the table as the row variable - 2 When Prior days in care was dropped as a row variable, Excel updated the pivot table, using the variable name as a header for the row variable, each category as a row in the table, and including grand total as the last row in the table. If we scan down the rows, we will see that there are 72 different values for prior days in care. Clearly, we will need to collapse the categories. When Prior days in care was dropped as a row variable, Excel updated the pivot table, using the variable name as a header for the row variable, each category as a row in the table, and including grand total as the last row in the table. If we scan down the rows, we will see that there are 72 different values for prior days in care. Clearly, we will need to collapse the categories.

Adding prior days to the table as the data item Hold the mouse button down on the icon by the Prior days in care variable, drag the icon to the left and drop it on the section of the table marked Drop Data Items Here. Since we want a tally of the different categories of prior days in care we add Prior days in care to the table as a data item as well as the row variable. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 39Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Pivot table showing sum of prior days instead of count When Prior days in care was dropped as a data item, Excel updated the pivot table, and added Sum of Prior days in care to the table instead of Count of Prior days in care. When Excel sees that a variable has numerous categories, it assumes you want to sum the values rather than count them. Since we really do want the count, we select cell A27 which contains Sum of Prior days in care, and click on the Field Setting tool button on the PivotTable tool bar. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 40Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Choosing to count prior days instead of summing In the PivotTable Field dialog box, select Count from the Summarize by list. Excel changes the Name of the field to Count of Prior days of care instead of Sum of Prior days of care. In the PivotTable Field dialog box, select Count from the Summarize by list. Excel changes the Name of the field to Count of Prior days of care instead of Sum of Prior days of care. Click on the OK button to apply the change. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 41Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

The pivot table with count for prior days of care The pivot table for prior days of care now shows the count for each of the values for prior days of care in the list. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 42Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Grouping the prior days in care To reduce the number of categories for prior days of care, we will group the values into three month, or ninety day, intervals. Excel supports grouping ranges of numeric data provided the ranges all contain the same size intervals. Select cell A28, the field for Prior days in care, and open the Grouping dialog box by selecting Group and Show Detail > Group from the PivotTable drop down menu on the PivotTable toolbar. Excel supports grouping ranges of numeric data provided the ranges all contain the same size intervals. Select cell A28, the field for Prior days in care, and open the Grouping dialog box by selecting Group and Show Detail > Group from the PivotTable drop down menu on the PivotTable toolbar. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 43Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

The grouping dialog box The default grouping for Excel is to put all of the ages in a single group. Since this is not what we want, we will change the default values. Since I want my first interval to contain all of the values for the first three months (90 days), we change the Starting at value to 90. Since 912 is the upper bound for the last interval I want, there is no need to change the Ending at value. I want my intervals to contain 90 days each, so I change the By value to 90. When I have made the changes, I click on the OK button to apply them to the table. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 44Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

The pivot table with grouped prior days in care Excel created the groupings I wanted for the prior days in care for the children in my list. At the same time, it recounted the cases in each interval to produce the correct count. Excel created the groupings I wanted for the prior days in care for the children in my list. At the same time, it recounted the cases in each interval to produce the correct count. To restore the table to its ungrouped state, select Group and Show Detail > Ungroup from the PivotTable drop down menu on the PivotTable toolbar. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 45Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin

Converting the count to a cumulative count Our table now contains the count for prior days of care in 90 day intervals. We will make one additional change so that its count is cumulative. Since we really do want the cumulative count, we select cell A27 which contains Count of Prior days in care, and click on the Field Setting tool button on the PivotTable tool bar. Demographic Profiles of Agency Clients Part 2, Slide 46Copyright © 2004, Jim Schwab, University of Texas at Austin
