"Student Grades Analysis Using Sorting and Filtering Functions in Excel"

Objective:

The objective of this project is to utilize Excel’s sorting and filtering functions to analyze and
interpret student grades. You will organize student data based on different criteria like scores,
attendance, and subjects to identify trends and insights regarding academic performance.

Project Overview:

In this project, you will work with a student grade dataset that includes information such as
student ID, student name, subject, test scores, attendance percentage, and grade level. You
will apply sorting and filtering techniques to extract insights about student performance, top
scorers in each subject, and attendance trends.

Dataset Example (Columns):

Student ID
Student Name
Subject (e.g., Math, English, Science, History)
Test Score (Out of 100)
Grade Level (e.g., 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th)
Attendance Record (Percentage)
Test Date

Instructions:

1. Data Entry:

Create a dataset with at least 50-100 student records, or download a sample dataset that
includes information about multiple subjects, students from different grade levels, and test
scores.

2. Sorting Tasks:

Task 1: Sort by Test Score

Objective: Sort students by their test scores in descending order to identify the highest
scorers.
Steps:
Select the Test Score column.
Sort the data from Largest to Smallest.
Identify the top 5 students with the highest test scores.
Task 2: Sort by Subject and Grade Level

Objective: Sort students first by subject and then by grade level to analyze performance
within each subject.
Steps:
Select the Subject and Grade Level columns.
Sort the Subject column alphabetically (A to Z), then the Grade Level in ascending
order (9th to 12th).
Analyze how students perform across different grade levels within each subject.

Task 3: Sort by Attendance Record

Objective: Sort students based on their attendance percentage to find those with perfect
or high attendance records.
Steps:
Select the Attendance Record column.
Sort the data from Largest to Smallest (descending order).
Determine which students have perfect attendance and compare it with their test
scores.

3. Filtering Tasks:

Task 4: Filter by Grade Level and Test Score

Objective: Filter the data to show students in 11th grade who scored above 85 in their
tests.
Steps:
Apply a filter to the Grade Level column to show only 11th grade students.
Apply another filter to the Test Score column to display scores greater than 85.
Analyze the performance of high scorers in 11th grade.

Task 5: Filter by Subject and Attendance

Objective: Filter the data to display students in Math who have an attendance record of
90% or higher.
Steps:
Apply a filter to the Subject column to show only students from Math.
Apply another filter to the Attendance Record column to display attendance greater
than or equal to 90%.
Determine if there’s a relationship between attendance and test scores in Math.

Task 6: Filter by Test Date

Objective: Filter the dataset to display students who took tests in the last month (or
another specific time period).
Steps:
Apply a filter to the Test Date column to show tests from the last month.
Analyze the test results and performance trends over that period.
4. Advanced Sorting and Filtering:

Task 7: Filter by Attendance and Test Score

Objective: Use filtering to find students across all subjects who have attendance records
below 80% but still scored above 75 in their tests.
Steps:
Apply a filter to the Attendance Record column to display attendance less than 80%.
Apply another filter to the Test Score column to show scores greater than 75.
Identify which students performed well despite low attendance.

Task 8: Sort and Filter by Custom Criteria

Objective: Sort students by multiple criteria (e.g., Grade Level, Subject, and Test Score)
to analyze performance patterns across different grade levels and subjects.
Steps:
Apply a custom sort by sorting first by Grade Level, then by Subject, and finally by
Test Score.
Filter the dataset to show students with test scores greater than 85 across all
subjects.
Identify patterns in high-performing students across different subjects and grade
levels.

5. Visualization (Optional):

Create the following visualizations:

Bar chart showing the top 5 students by test scores.


Pie chart showing the distribution of students across different grade levels.
Line chart showing the correlation between attendance and test scores.

6. Summary and Analysis:

After completing the sorting and filtering tasks, prepare a brief report or presentation
summarizing:

Insights from the sorted and filtered data.


Trends, such as the relationship between attendance and test scores, top performers in
each subject, and overall grade level performance.
Recommendations based on the analysis, such as improving attendance for students
with lower records or providing additional support to students in specific subjects.

Deliverables:

1. An Excel file containing:


The original dataset.
Sorted and filtered sheets for each task.
Any charts or graphs (if applicable).
2. A report summarizing:
Key insights from sorting and filtering analysis.
Recommendations or conclusions based on student performance trends.

Skills Developed:

Applying Excel sorting and filtering functions.


Analyzing student data to identify trends and insights.
Visualizing academic performance and attendance trends.
Making data-driven decisions to improve student outcomes.
