Data Analytics from

MS Office Excel
Performance Task 6.1
INTRODUCTION

ANALYZE DATA in EXCEL empowers you to

understand your data through natural
language queries that allows to ask
question about your data without having
to write complicated formulas. Aside from
that, Analyzes Data provides high-level
visual summaries, trends and patterns.

CONCATENATE FUNCTION

Excel’s Concatenate Function is

one of the function in excel that
easiest to learn and also it is one of
the most powerful formulas when
conducting data analysis.
The word concatenate is just
another way of saying “to combine”
or “to join together”.

How it works
 Suppose that we are combining the test in column A
and B to create a combined name in a new column.
 We will enter our function into cell C2. As usual, our
argument will start at equal sign followed by the
function name and an open parenthesis.
=CONCATENATE( cells that we want to combine.)
 We want to combine the text in A2 and B2. So that our
argument should be,
=CONCATENATE(B2,A2)

We may notice that the first and last name doesn’t have
any space in between them. The reason behind that is
because CONCATENATE will combine exactly what you
tell it to combine, and nothing more.

How it works

 If we want any punctuation, spaces or any details to

appear in that cell, we need to include it when we are
putting our argument.
 To add a space, we can simply add another
argument: " " (two double quotes around a space).
Make sure the three arguments are separated by
commas.
=CONCATENATE(B2," ",A2)

Now we can use the fill handle to copy the formula to the
remaining cells in this column.
 Things to Remember

To ensure that your CONCATENATE formulas always deliver the

correct results, remember the following simple rules:
 Excel CONCATENATE function requires at least one "text"
argument to work.
 In a single CONCATENATE formula, you can concatenate up
to 255 strings, a total of 8,192 characters.
 The result of the CONCATENATE function is always a text
string, even when all of the source values are numbers.
 Excel CONCATENATE does not recognize arrays. Each cell
reference must be listed separately.
For example, you should write =CONCATENATE(A1, A2, A3) instead of =CONCATENATE(A1:A3).

 If at least one of the CONCATENATE function's arguments is

invalid, the formula returns a #VALUE! error
When you concatenate cells in Excel, you combine
only the contents of those cells. In other words,
concatenation in Excel is the process of joining two
or more values together.
This method is often used to combine a few pieces
of text that reside in different cells (technically,
these are called text strings or simply strings) or
insert a formula-calculated value in the middle of
some text.
This is an excellent function for creating API
endpoints, product SKUs, and Java queries and
many more.
The Relationship between Data Analytics and
Data Visualization
Data Analytics
Data analytics identify or discovering
the trends and patterns inherent in
the data.
It is done using systematic methods to
look for trends, groupings, or other
relationship between different types
of data.
Every business collects data; data
analytics will help the business to
make more-informed business
decisions by analyzing the data.
Data Visualization
Data visualization represents data in
visual context and graphical data by
making explicit trends and pattern
inherent in the data.
It puts data into a charts, graph and
other visual formats that helps inform
analysis and information.
The goal of the data visualization
is to communicate information clearly
and efficiently to users by presenting
them visually.

about the datasets. In few scenarios,
Data Visualization technologies and
it might act as a source for
techniques are widely used in Finance,

Banking, Healthcare, Retailing etc.
Data Analytics technologies and
Data visualization can be static or

interactive.
Commercial, Finance, Healthcare,
Crime detection, Travel agencies etc.
Data Analytics can be Prescriptive
