YO19_Excel_Ch09_Assessment_Cleansing_Inventory_Data
You currently work part-time in an automotive parts store. Because word of your knowledge of Excel has spread, you have been contacted by the district manager. The database used for keeping track of inventory has been corrupted, causing some issues with the inventory data. You have been asked to use your expertise in Excel to clean the inventory data.
Start Excel. Open the downloaded workbook named Excel_Ch09_PS2_Inventory.xlsx. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename. Save the file to the location where you are storing your files.
There are duplicate rows of data in the Inventory worksheet. These duplicate records need to be removed before the data can be further cleansed.
Remove any duplicates that exist in the Inventory worksheet. Duplicate records are any records with the same InventoryCode and ItemNumber.
The data for the Category/Manufacture has extra spaces, non-printable characters, and the case of the text needs altered in order to successfully cleanse the data. This process will take several steps and it will be easier if each step is completed in separate columns.
Enter the text Step 1 in cell G1.
The data in column C has nonprintable characters before and after the data contained in each cell. In cell G2, enter a formula to remove any nonprintable characters from column C. Copy the formula down the column.
Enter the text Step 2 in cell H1.
There are several spaces before and after the data in column G that need to be removed.
In cell H2, enter a formula to remove any extra spaces in the data from column G. Copy the formula down the column.
The category and manufacturer should be in two separate columns. Enter the text Category in cell I1.
Enter the text Manufacturer in cell J1.
Use Flash Fill to place the category data from column H in proper case in column I. Use Flash Fill to place the Manufacturer data from column H into the new column J. Owing to the nature of the data, Flash Fill will need to be invoked from the Data tab.
A new ItemCode will be constructed from the InventoryCode and ItemNumber columns. The first part of the ItemCode will be the InventoryCode displayed as uppercase letters.
Enter the text InvCode in cell K1. In cell K2, enter a formula to display the inventory code from column A as all uppercase letters. Copy the formula down the column.
Enter the text ItemCode in cell L1. The ItemCode is a combination of the inventory code in all uppercase letters, with the item number appended to it. For example, the first ItemCode should be UARM423949. Use the appropriate function in column L to create this new ItemCode and fill the function down the column.
Save and close Excel_Ch09_PS2_Inventory.xlsx. Exit Excel. Submit your files as directed.
