I have started putting together the data from the focus groups (which were largely done before I started). It is kind of tricky because on some of the transcripts, some of the numerical data does not add up, i.e. with the number of participants matching the numbers given with age brackets. I can't exactly make up data so I think I will have to leave that part for the moment until I discuss it with my supervisor. It is frustrating not being able to just get on with it, but I guess I can use it as an opportunity to work on other aspects of the museum plan.
On another note, does anyone have any suggestions for how to make a good table? Would it be best to do one in Excel or just make it up in a Word Doc? I'm not the best when it comes to 'advanced' things such as mathematically based tables dealing with percentages and what not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I would suggest excel!
ReplyDeleteYou can turn your data into graphs as well if you need to.
As for the formulas and stuff, there are the basic ones, like SUM and AVERAGE where you basically pick the cells/data that you want and it'll add or do a average of the numbers.
If you need help, I'm sure a quick Google search will come up with some suggestions :)
Good luck!
Thanks Cheng, I've taken on board what you suggested and it seems to be the right way to go for now! Cheers!

ReplyDeleteIt's so hard when you don't have all the information!!! Frustrating as hell.
