Objectives • Define the verifiability goal. • Apply the spreadsheet design goal of verifiability.
What are the Five Spreadsheet Design Goals? • Simple • Clear • Verifiable • Accurate • Efficient
What is Verifiability? • Easy to understand • Minimize erroneous data entry
What Decisions Must Be Made Regarding Data Validation? • Which cells may require data validation? • What rules can I establish to identify incorrect data? • Is this rule accurate 100% of the time? • What should my error message be?
What Decision Must Be Made Regarding Worksheet Protection? • Which cells may require protection?
GPA Exercise continued • Recall the workbook created to track QCA. • How could you support the verifiability design goal in this workbook?
GPA Exercise Steps • What documentation features already exist to support Verifiability? • What documentation features could be added to improve Verifiability? Consider appropriate use of: • Comments • Range Names • Documentation Worksheet • Data Validation • Protection
Step 1: Existing Documentation • What documentation features already exist to support Verifiability?
Step 2: Additional Documentation • What documentation features could be added to improve Verifiability?
Step 3: Comment • Think of a situation in which a comment might be appropriate. Which cell would you attach the comment to? • What would the comment be?
Step 4: Range Names • Which range(s) could you name to improve the Verifiability of the worksheet? • How would you write the formulas to use these range names?
Step 5: Documentation Sheet • What would you include on a documentation worksheet? How would you format that sheet?
Step 6: Data Validation • Which cells should you apply data validation to? • What would be your validation rules?
Step 7: Protection • Which cells would you unlock before turning on protection?
Step 7: Protection • Which worksheet actions would you allow when protection is turned on?
