Although Calc is not a database, it can be used for some data analysis and manipulation. When I worked for the finance department of a hospital, it was very common for the financial analysts to get a data dump from a centralized system as a CSV file, load it up in a spreadsheet, and then slice and dice the data to get the answers they wanted. It is not anywhere near what you can do with a good relational database and a structured query, but you can do some quick and dirty analysis here. To illustrate this I downloaded a data set from the Vanderbilt University Department of Biostatistics. In case you were not aware, there are lots of datasets you can download on the Internet, including in many cases government data. I grabbed the Meningitis dataset, partly to get something in the medical area into this discussion, but as it was larger than I needed I discarded a lot of the data to get something a little more manageable. I hid most of the variables, and kept these Case Number just a an index that starts at 1 and goes up. Year looks like the two digit year in which the patient was observed, and some are blank. Month looks like the month within the year when the patient was observed, and some are blank. Age the age of the patient when they were observed, and some are blank.

But now we are planning to print the PDF using PROGRESS. Search the worlds information, including webpages, images, videos and more. Google has many special features to help you find exactly what youre looking for. Race of patient black v. Sex of patient male v. There are 5. 81 records rows in this data set, and I kept them. Sort. This is the simplest thing, You can sort the data in your spreadsheet to put it into order by a column. Lets say you wanted to sort by the year when the patient was observed. Progress To Date. The trainings started in July 2011. These have spread across several Institutions Degree colleges, Polytechnics, ITIs and even Schools, NGOs, Govt. TemplateSelector.png' alt='Libre Calc Web Query' title='Libre Calc Web Query' />You click on the B column which has that variable, then go to Data, Sort, and this window opens up Sort window asking if you want to sort one column or the whole database. If you clicked Current Selection Column B would be sorted all by itself, but the other columns would not be sorted. This used to be the default behavior of spreadsheets, but we have learned that people do attempt these kinds of manipulations on data sets in spreadsheets, so now it is smart enough to check. If you select Extend selection, it will sort based on what is in column B, but will sort the dataset, from cell A1 to cell F5. If you make this selection you will get another window Sort window where you choose criteria. As you can see you can choose several criteria, and it will sort one within another. For example, if you chose Month for the second sort key, the data would first be sorted by year. Auto. Filter. Filters are an important tool for working with large datasets. While they dont replace a relational database with structured queries, they do give you some useful features. There are three kinds of filters, all accessed through the Data menu in Calc. We will discuss Auto. Filter in this tutorial, then move on to the others in subsequent tutorials. Go to Data Filters Auto. Filter and click to turn on. You will see a drop down appear on every column in the open sheet Auto. Filter turned on in Calc. These drop downs will give you an entry for each unique value in the column. For a column like Case Number this feature is useless since each row has a unique case number. But if we wanted to only look at cases from 1. Year column, click the drop down, remove the check mark from All in the bottom of the dropdown, which de selects everything, then put a checkmark in 7. The result is to display only those rows which have 7. Year column. And if you look at the row numbers on the left, every time one or more rows was skipped, there is a heavier line separating the row numbers. Also, for each column that has a filter applied there will be small black square in the lower right corner of the drop down arrow box. This is helpful if you need to quickly see where the filters are applied, such as when you need to remove one. Note You do need to be careful in working with a filtered dataset. If you forget the filtering you have applied you may get the wrong idea about your data. Be sure to always check your filters first when working with a dataset to make sure you have not filtered out some of the cases you want to see. And you can combine filters as well.

This reduces the dataset even further to only those cases which occurred in 1. And if I wanted to go even further, I could add a Race qualification, and filter for Black. This would give me all cases in 1. You can remove an Auto. Filter easily. Just click the drop down, and put a checkmark in All at the bottom. This will remove that particular filter. Other filters you might want to use are shown at the top of the drop down window Top 1. This returns the rows with the ten highest values in the dataset. If there are no other filters, and you have at least ten rows, you should get ten rows selected based on this column. But if you have other filters, you may get less. For example, when I first filtered on Race to select White, then selected Top 1. Age, i got back 6 records. This means that of the ten highest ages in my dataset, only 6 were of white patients. Empty This selects only those rows that are empty for the column you are filtering. Not Empty This selects only those rows that are not empty. Now, suppose you wanted to  select cases in 1. You could hit the drop down for the Age column, remove the checkmark in All, then put checkmarks in for every value greater than 4. This would work, and the result is 6 cases. But there is a better way, and that involves using what are called Standard Filters. The sample spreadsheet with this data can be found here.
