Add Filters and a Custom Rating Scale Wrap-Up

In this lesson, you added a rating scale to your guide and practiced personalizing how you view the data.

You practiced digital skills that can help you change how the data in a spreadsheet is viewed to make it more organized and user friendly.

To complete this lesson, you... Added a new sheet and renamed it, applied data validation to create a rating dropdown menu in a range of cells, sorted data to organize locations by values in a column, filtered a spreadsheet to hide locations that didn't meet your needs, and shared your area guide with a partner.

You learned that data validation can help you maintain consistency in your spreadsheet and help you work more efficiently.

Your scale allowed you to offer opinions about the places in your guide.

This makes your guide more like a digital travel guide or a customized travel app.

The skills and strategies you practiced in this lesson can help you organize and manipulate large amounts of information in many situations.

You can apply these skills to organize information whether you are choosing colleges to apply to, analyzing data at work, or monitoring your financial budget.

In the next lesson, you will write your own computer program to add an interactive sidebar to your area guide that allows your viewers to see images of locations.
