This article describes a free, open-source collection of templates for the popular Excel (2013, and later versions) spreadsheet program. These templates are spreadsheet files that allow easy and intuitive learning and the implementation of practical examples concerning descriptive statistics, random variables, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. Although they are designed to be used with Excel, they can also be employed with other free spreadsheet programs (changing some particular formulas). Moreover, we exploit some possibilities of the ActiveX controls of the Excel Developer Menu to perform interactive Gaussian density charts. Finally, it is important to note that they can be often embedded in a web page, so it is not necessary to employ Excel software for their use. These templates have been designed as a useful tool to teach basic statistics and to carry out data analysis even when the students are not familiar with Excel. Additionally, they can be used as a complement to other analytical software packages. They aim to assist students in learning statistics, within an intuitive working environment. Supplementary materials with the Excel templates are available online.

To create the dataset, the top 10 countries leading in the incidence of COVID-19 in the world were selected as of October 22, 2020 (on the eve of the second full of pandemics), which are presented in the Global 500 ranking for 2020: USA, India, Brazil, Russia, Spain, France and Mexico. For each of these countries, no more than 10 of the largest transnational corporations included in the Global 500 rating for 2020 and 2019 were selected separately. The arithmetic averages were calculated and the change (increase) in indicators such as profitability and profitability of enterprises, their ranking position (competitiveness), asset value and number of employees. The arithmetic mean values of these indicators for all countries of the sample were found, characterizing the situation in international entrepreneurship as a whole in the context of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 on the eve of the second wave of the pandemic. The data is collected in a general Microsoft Excel table. Dataset is a unique database that combines COVID-19 statistics and entrepreneurship statistics. The dataset is flexible data that can be supplemented with data from other countries and newer statistics on the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fact that the data in the dataset are not ready-made numbers, but formulas, when adding and / or changing the values in the original table at the beginning of the dataset, most of the subsequent tables will be automatically recalculated and the graphs will be updated. This allows the dataset to be used not just as an array of data, but as an analytical tool for automating scientific research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and crisis on international entrepreneurship. The dataset includes not only tabular data, but also charts that provide data visualization. The dataset contains not only actual, but also forecast data on morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 for the period of the second wave of the pandemic in 2020. The forecasts are presented in the form of a normal distribution of predicted values and the probability of their occurrence in practice. This allows for a broad scenario analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and crisis on international entrepreneurship, substituting various predicted morbidity and mortality rates in risk assessment tables and obtaining automatically calculated consequences (changes) on the characteristics of international entrepreneurship. It is also possible to substitute the actual values identified in the process and following the results of the second wave of the pandemic to check the reliability of pre-made forecasts and conduct a plan-fact analysis. The dataset contains not only the numerical values of the initial and predicted values of the set of studied indicators, but also their qualitative interpretation, reflecting the presence and level of risks of a pandemic and COVID-19 crisis for international entrepreneurship.

The USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) recently established SCINet , which consists of a shared high performance computing resource, Ceres, and the dedicated high-speed Internet2 network used to access Ceres. Current and potential SCINet users are using and generating very large datasets so SCINet needs to be provisioned with adequate data storage for their active computing. It is not designed to hold data beyond active research phases. At the same time, the National Agricultural Library has been developing the Ag Data Commons, a research data catalog and repository designed for public data release and professional data curation. Ag Data Commons needs to anticipate the size and nature of data it will be tasked with handling. The ARS Web-enabled Databases Working Group, organized under the SCINet initiative, conducted a study to establish baseline data storage needs and practices, and to make projections that could inform future infrastructure design, purchases, and policies. The SCINet Web-enabled Databases Working Group helped develop the survey which is the basis for an internal report. While the report was for internal use, the survey and resulting data may be generally useful and are being released publicly. From October 24 to November 8, 2016 we administered a 17-question survey (Appendix A) by emailing a Survey Monkey link to all ARS Research Leaders, intending to cover data storage needs of all 1,675 SY (Category 1 and Category 4) scientists. We designed the survey to accommodate either individual researcher responses or group responses. Research Leaders could decide, based on their unit's practices or their management preferences, whether to delegate response to a data management expert in their unit, to all members of their unit, or to themselves collate responses from their unit before reporting in the survey. Larger storage ranges cover vastly different amounts of data so the implications here could be significant depending on whether the true amount is at the lower or higher end of the range. Therefore, we requested more detail from "Big Data users," those 47 respondents who indicated they had more than 10 to 100 TB or over 100 TB total current data (Q5). All other respondents are called "Small Data users." Because not all of these follow-up requests were successful, we used actual follow-up responses to estimate likely responses for those who did not respond. We defined active data as data that would be used within the next six months. All other data would be considered inactive, or archival. To calculate per person storage needs we used the high end of the reported range divided by 1 for an individual response, or by G, the number of individuals in a group response. For Big Data users we used the actual reported values or estimated likely values. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Appendix A: ARS data storage survey questions.

Below are the key steps and elements of this analysis:

1- Data Import and Transformation:

• Gather and import relevant sales data from various sources into Excel.
• Utilize Power Query to clean, transform, and structure the data for analysis.
• Merge and link different data sheets to create a cohesive dataset, ensuring that all data fields are connected logically.

2- Data Quality Assessment:

• Perform data quality checks to identify and address issues like missing values, duplicates, outliers, and data inconsistencies.
• Standardize data formats and ensure that all data is in a consistent, usable state.

3- Calculating COGS:

• Determine the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for each product sold by considering factors like purchase price, shipping costs, and any additional expenses.
• Apply appropriate formulas and calculations to determine COGS accurately.

4- Discount Analysis:

• Analyze the discount values offered on products to understand their impact on sales and profitability.
• Calculate the average discount percentage, identify trends, and visualize the data using charts or graphs.

5- Sales Metrics:

• Calculate and analyze various sales metrics, such as total revenue, profit margins, and sales growth.
• Utilize Excel functions to compute these metrics and create visuals for better insights.

6- Visualization:

• Create visualizations, such as charts, graphs, and pivot tables, to present the data in an understandable and actionable format.
• Visual representations can help identify trends, outliers, and patterns in the data.

7- Report Generation:

• Compile the findings and insights into a well-structured report or dashboard, making it easy for stakeholders to understand and make informed decisions.

Throughout this analysis, the goal is to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of the Superstore's sales performance. By using Excel and Power Query, we can efficiently manage and analyze the data, ensuring that the insights gained contribute to the store's growth and success.

The Florida Flood Hub for Applied Research and Innovation and the U.S. Geological Survey have developed projected future change factors for precipitation depth-duration-frequency (DDF) curves at 242 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlas 14 stations in Florida. The change factors were computed as the ratio of projected future to historical extreme-precipitation depths fitted to extreme-precipitation data from downscaled climate datasets using a constrained maximum likelihood (CML) approach as described in https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20225093. The change factors correspond to the periods 2020-59 (centered in the year 2040) and 2050-89 (centered in the year 2070) as compared to the 1966-2005 historical period. An R script (basin_boxplot.R) is provided as an example on how to create a wrapper function that will automate the generation of boxplots of change factors for all Florida HUC-8 basins. The wrapper script sources the file create_boxplot.R and calls the function create_boxplot() one Florida basin at a time to create a figure with boxplots of change factors for all durations (1, 3, and 7 days) and return periods (5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 500 years) evaluated as part of this project. An example is also provided in the code that shows how to generate a figure showing boxplots of change factors for a single duration and return period. A Microsoft Word file documenting code usage is also provided within this data release (Documentation_R_script_create_boxplot.docx). As described in the documentation, the R script relies on some of the Microsoft Excel spreadsheets published as part of this data release. The script uses HUC-8 basins defined in the "Florida Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) Basins (areas)" from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP; https://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/FDEP::florida-hydrologic-unit-code-huc-basins-areas/explore) and their names are listed in the file basins_list.txt provided with the script. County names are listed in the file counties_list.txt provided with the script. NOAA Atlas 14 stations located in each Florida basin or county are defined in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet Datasets_station_information.xlsx which is part of this data release. Instructions are provided in code documentation (see highlighted text on page 7 of Documentation_R_script_create_boxplot.docx) so that users can modify the script to generate boxplots for basins different from the FDEP "Florida Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) Basins (areas)."

The hectares of habitat protected and the number of adults and children fed in one year were calculated for each of the six crop types for Canada and United States. The calculations were based on the 50th centile of the cumulative frequency distributions of change in crop yield due to pesticide treatment for each crop type. An editable interactive table was created using Microsoft Excel that would allow individuals to determine how pesticide treatment in their selected jurisdiction (province in Canada or state in the United States) and crop translates into habitat saved, calories produced, and mouths fed. This table allows the user to choose the country (Canada or United States), whether to include the organic agriculture correction factor, their state or province of interest, crop, and whether a young child, adolescent child, adult women, or adult man is being fed. The table will then calculate the hectares of habitat saved, added number of calories produced (kcal), the number of individual fed in one day, and the number of individual fed in one year. Due to the variability in yield results between crops and studies, the Excel user form allows individuals to set whichever yield increase they anticipate observing or use the 50th centile of yield increase from the cumulative frequency distribution for each crop.
