Unit 217 Organise and Report Data
Understand How to Organise and Report Data That Has Been Researched.
1.1 Describe different ways of organising data that has been researched.
Data is a group of information that are used for various purposes like analysis, evaluations and to arrive at certain results or conclusions. Data reporting is a process where data is extracted form a source or many sources and then converted into a format that can be used for a purpose.
It is usually presented in the form of a report in tables, charts, statistics, and graphs or on spread sheets etc. This data may be used to arrive at important decisions within the organisation or with external organisations. So the data report has to be produced in such a way that it meets the aims and objectives of the requirement.
Ways of Organising your researched Data
• Chronological - Information presented in time sequence, either forward or backward, is chronological. This organization pattern works well in explaining events over time such as monthly sales figures for the past year. Chronological ordering is useful in describing history or development, such as background leading to a personnel/management disagreement. Chronological sequencing of ideas is necessary to show time relationships.
• Value/Size - The logical order for some topics begins with the most valuable or the largest item first.
Realtors have found that listing their properties from the most expensive to the least expensive (or vice-versa) is helpful to buyers and sellers. It would be frustrating to find properties in the same price range if they were listed chronologically.
• Simple to Complex - For difficult, technical, or abstract topics, the best plan of organization is often from simple to complex. Good teachers, for example, begin with simple, basic concepts and proceed to more complex topics. If you had to explain how to make a wedding cake, you could begin with the simple concept of a house.
