Scenario
Chapter 7: Analyzing a Chart by Sorting Items
A chart containing a series of transactions between several accounts already
exists. The transactions are check and credit card transactions between High
Interest, Savings and Business accounts.
You must now analyze this chart to see if any further information can be gleaned
from it. You will also need to lay out your chart so that the theme lines are displayed
in date order.
Consider the following strategy to help you glean further information from the chart:
• First of all, use List Items to see how you can select chart items on a chart.
• Add and remove columns from the List Items dialog. This will allow you to see
information about the accounts that may be more appropriate to your
investigation.
• Use analysis attributes in the List Items dialog to find out further information
about the busiest accounts on the chart. You are particularly interested in any
transactions that took place between accounts on a Friday, as you think this
may be pertinent to your investigation. Find all of these transactions and copy
them into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Use the spreadsheet to find the total
amount of all of these transactions.
• Finally, lay out your chart so that the accounts on the chart are displayed with
the busiest accounts at the top of the chart and the less busy accounts at the
bottom of the chart.
