    IMPORTING DATA FROM

    OTHER FORMAT,
    SORT AND CUSTOM LIST

    IMPORTING DATA FROM
    OTHER FORMAT
    •TEXT FILES AND NON-TEXT FILES

    •There are many ways to represent data on a computer. The


    essential divide is between text files and non-text files.

    •Text files can be directly read using a text editor such as


    Notepad in Microsoft Windows.
    These files often have extension .txt but can often have other
    extensions (a common one we will use is .csv).
    IMPORTING DATA FROM OTHER FORMAT

    Non-text files cannot be meaningfully read using a


    text editor such as Notepad.
    Then one obtains non-text characters that appear as,
    for example, @Z

    Example: For the non-text file carsdata.xls (an Excel


    file) Notepad yield
    Instead non-text files can only be read using special
    software.
    In this example an Excel file can be meaningfully
    read using the Excel program.
    •FILE FORMATS

    •The most common data formats used to store data in files that can be read data into Excel are:

    •Existing Excel workbook or worksheet with extension .xls


    IMPORTING This is easily read into Excel, just like reading a Word file with extension .doc using MS Word.
    DATA FROM •Existing Excel workbook or worksheet with extension .xlsx

    OTHER The extension .xlsx mean that the file is in Excel 2007 format.
    This may not be recognized by earlier versions of Excel such as Excel 97 or Excel 2003.
    FORMAT
    •Comma-separated values text file with extension .csv
    This is easily read into Excel.
    Furthermore, because this is a text file it can be read by many other programs.

    •Text file, often with extension .txt or extension .asc


    This can be read into Excel but information about the formatting of the data needs to be provided.
    SORT AND CUSTOM LIST

    Sorting is the process of arranging data into meaningful


    order so that you can analyze it more effectively.

    Sorting refers to ordering data in an increasing or decreasing manner


    according to some linear relationship among the data items.

    1.ordering: arranging items in a sequence ordered by some criterion;


    2.categorizing: grouping items with similar properties.
    SORT AND CUSTOM LIST

    Custom lists in Excel are used to sort data based on the user’s
    choice. It is especially useful when you need to perform multiple
    tasks on the same data on a repetitive basis.
