Subject: Individual assignment

We enclose two problems (Fitness Centre Management and CovidData) for which you need to develop
spreadsheets, one for each, and submit one work book with the two sheets/more sheets, if you think it
improves presentation of the submission.

The problem write-up for Fitness Center Management asks you to fill in several blanks: take such
questions as hints. In your assignment, you need to incorporate the necessary formulae in your
spreadsheet, and submit only the spreadsheets. For the CovidData and Fitness Center Management
problem, the questions are listed from the second page of this write up.

Your formulae should be general, and should work even if some inputs are changed. We will check the
correctness of your work by actually changing the inputs and seeing whether your formulae yield correct
results in all cases. Therefore, before your submission, test your spread sheets thoroughly with a variety
of inputs.

From the word files, you can copy the tables into your spreadsheet; therefore, you do not need the raw
data in spreadsheet form. The raw data file for and CovidData has been attached separately.

OPTIONAL - Wherever, there is a scope for using DSUM or DCOUNT function, also do the same task
using SUMIF and COUNTIF functions and vice versa in the nearby cells.
In case you notice any data inconsistencies in the data provided, please feel free to correct such
mistakes and proceed by taking appropriate assumptions.

Keep a copy of your work with you for future reference. We might call some of you at random, if
necessary, and might ask you to explain your work.

Please note that this is an individual assignment, and hence should reflect your own work. Any case of
copying will result in Fail Grade in the course, and further reporting the copying event to the Academic
Affairs Office.

CovidData Questions
The excel file shows for all the countries of the world the reported number of Covid cases (until 30 July
2021, taken from the website https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus) and other self-explanatory
details in columns A-H. There are some missing entries in the data which is either represented as N/A or
a blank cell. The following treatment should be done for those -
a.) Blank cells in Total Deaths, Serious/Critical, Total Tests and Total recovered columns, should be
treated as zeroes.
b.) Omit the records that have blank entries in the Total Population Column.
c.) For N/A cells in Total recovered column, replace N/A assuming that the active cases are given by the
number in Serious/Critical Column (Active cases are Defined as “Total cases – Closed Cases”, where
closed cases are the sum of deaths and recovered cases)
d.) Additionally, use TRIM function for the each of the country names to ensure there are no leading or
trailing spaces for the country column.

After this data cleaning operation, answer the following questions -

Q.1 In Column I, tabulate the number of active cases.

For the remaining questions, you may use additional cells or tabulate more values if you feel there is a
requirement.
Q.2 Which country has the greatest number of active cases per million population?
Q.3 Which country has the greatest number of deaths per million population?
Q.4 List out the countries which have done more than 10 lakh tests per million population. How many
such countries are there?
Q.5 List the countries which have a recovery rate of greater than 97%. [Define recovery rate as (number
of recovered cases)/ (number of closed cases)]
Q.6 Using advanced filter, List the countries which have a recovery rate of greater than 95% and total
number of cases is greater than 400000.
Develop a macro such that if these numbers change, a new list is produced with a click of a button.

Q.7 Develop a 2-way data table to count the number of countries which have a greater than a specified
percentage of recovery rate as well greater than a specified number of total deaths. [Look at cells
K10:S17 in the spreadsheet shared with you]

Q.8 In a cell, use VLOOKUP function to find out the total number of recovered cases given the name of
the country as the input.
65. Fitness Centre Management (Problem taken directly from Reference – 1 of course
outline).

A well-known institute of management in western Inida (WIMWI) has been running a gym with four
identical tread-mills (TM1,TM2,TM3, and TM4) for the last one year(on all days, 6AM to 6 PM). A
treadmill is an exercise machine that has a moving surface that you can walk or run on while remaining
in the same place. With the intention of analyzing the usage pattern of these machines and reviewing
their method of operation, the CAO had data collected on each user on a typical day on the following
dimensions: the code of the member (UserCode), the code of the tread-mill used by the user (MillCode),
the time at which the user started on the mill(StartTime), the time at which the user finished on the mill
(EndTime), and the distance for which the user walked or ran on the machince (Distance) in Kilo-meters.
This data was entered in the range B5:F25 of a spreadsheet as shown below. All the time data is shown
in HH:MM AM/PM format.

I. For each of the above data records, the duration of usage in minutes and the average speed in
Km/hour are computed in the corresponding cells of columns G and H.

I.1. What is the formula in G6, if it is copied to the other relevant cells in the same column?

Answer: _____________________________________________________________________

I.2. What is the formula H6, if it is copied to the other relevant cells in the same column?

Answer: _____________________________________________________________________

II. In M10:Q13, the following are tabulated as shown in the following figure,from the data of part-I:
MillCode, Total duration of usage in minutes (TdurnMin), total duration of usage in hours (TdurnHrs),
Percentage utilization (Utlzn) assuming that each machine is available for usage for a total of eleven
hours, and the average speed at which the machine was run in its usage (AvgSpd) in Km/hour, ignoring
the periods during which it was not used. For this purpose, the data table feature was used, in
conjunction with the criterion range M5:M6 (not shown in the following figure). Further, in the row
following the data table (that is row number 14)the same statistics as above are obtained for all
machines considered together.

III. CAO is not satisfied with the current way the one hour maintenance slot is allocated everyday for the
machines. He would like to choose the slot which is least used by the regular users. The slot should be
one of the twelve from among the following: 6:00 AM to 7:00 AM, 7:00AM to 8:00 AM, 8:00 AM to 9:00
AM,…, 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. For the data currently collected he would like to find which of the above
twelve slots has least usage in terms of duration of use falling within the slot, considering all machines
together (the total usage can even be more than one hour because we are considering the sum of
duration of each machine within the concerned interval). For this purpose, additional values are
computed in I6:J25 ( see the figure below). In D2:E2, not shown in the figure, the starting and ending
times of an one-hour maintenance-interval in question are obtained. In column I, for each record of the
original data collected ( see part-I), whether the user’s usage-interval falls within the interval of D2:E2 is
found through a TRUE/FALSE answer. If the answer is TRUE, the duration of overlap is found in the
corresponding cells of J; if there is no overlap, the duration of overlap is zero. The total of all overlap
values is found in J26. The starting value of each of the twelve possible maintenance intervals are
entered in D32:D43. The total overlap values for each of the twelve intervals are obtained in E32:E43,
using the data table feature, and using D2 as the column input cell. The minimum of these tabulated
values is found in E45. Finally, the starting and ending values of the interval which gave rise to the above
minimum are obtained in G31:H31. In case of multiple minima, the first one is taken.

IV. The CAO wants to charge the users based on their actual usage in minutes (recording actual usage is
possible). For this the charge in Rs/minute should be chosen such that the total charge will break even
with the maintenance and electricity charges. The maintenance per year ( an year is assumed to be 365
days) per mill is Rs 20,000, and each mill consumes 3units of electricity per one hour of usage; and the
electricity charge can be assumed to be Rs 6 per unit. If the data collected on the day in question can be
assumed to be truly representative, and if the gym operates on each day of the year, what is the formula
to compute the charge in Rs per minute ( the corresponding formula can be entered in any empty cell)

Answer:_____________________________________________________________________

V. In M18:O21 are found for each mill the total number of users who began before the noon (ie at or
before 12:00 PM), and the total number who began in the afternoon

( ie after 12:00 PM), as shown below.
