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.

This data contains functions like: Sum, Average, Max, Min, Sumif, Sumifs, Count, Countblank, Countifs, Counta, Averageif, Averageifs.

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.

Introduction

We are enclosing the database used in our research titled "Concentration and Geospatial Modelling of Health Development Offices' Accessibility for the Total and Elderly Populations in Hungary", along with our statistical calculations. For the sake of reproducibility, further information can be found in the file Short_Description_of_Data_Analysis.pdf and Statistical_formulas.pdf

The sharing of data is part of our aim to strengthen the base of our scientific research. As of March 7, 2024, the detailed submission and analysis of our research findings to a scientific journal has not yet been completed.

The dataset was expanded on 23rd September 2024 to include SPSS statistical analysis data, a heatmap, and buffer zone analysis around the Health Development Offices (HDOs) created in QGIS software.

Short Description of Data Analysis and Attached Files (datasets):

Our research utilised data from 2022, serving as the basis for statistical standardisation. The 2022 Hungarian census provided an objective basis for our analysis, with age group data available at the county level from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH) website. The 2022 demographic data provided an accurate picture compared to the data available from the 2023 microcensus. The used calculation is based on our standardisation of the 2022 data. For xlsx files, we used MS Excel 2019 (version: 1808, build: 10406.20006) with the SOLVER add-in.

Hungarian Central Statistical Office served as the data source for population by age group, county, and regions: https://www.ksh.hu/stadat_files/nep/hu/nep0035.html, (accessed 04 Jan. 2024.) with data recorded in MS Excel in the Data_of_demography.xlsx file.

In 2022, 108 Health Development Offices (HDOs) were operational, and it's noteworthy that no developments have occurred in this area since 2022. The availability of these offices and the demographic data from the Central Statistical Office in Hungary are considered public interest data, freely usable for research purposes without requiring permission.

The contact details for the Health Development Offices were sourced from the following page (Hungarian National Population Centre (NNK)): https://www.nnk.gov.hu/index.php/efi (n=107). The Semmelweis University Health Development Centre was not listed by NNK, hence it was separately recorded as the 108th HDO. More information about the office can be found here: https://semmelweis.hu/egeszsegfejlesztes/en/ (n=1). (accessed 05 Dec. 2023.)

Geocoordinates were determined using Google Maps (N=108): https://www.google.com/maps. (accessed 02 Jan. 2024.) Recording of geocoordinates (latitude and longitude according to WGS 84 standard), address data (postal code, town name, street, and house number), and the name of each HDO was carried out in the: Geo_coordinates_and_names_of_Hungarian_Health_Development_Offices.csv file.

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.

This resource, a MS Excel refresher, extends the level for this Data Nugget. Students are given an Excel workbook with the data and asked to graph and calculate diversity using Excel functions (rather than drawing graphs by hand as in the original data nugget). The data set used is the same. I use this activity in an upper division Environmental Science course for majors that focuses on Restoration Ecology. The simplicity of the data set and the comparisons of reptile diversity among urban, non-urban and urban rehabilitated lend for a great example for doing calculations in spreadsheets.

Excel sheets in order: The sheet entitled “Hens Original Data” contains the results of an experiment conducted to study the response of laying hens during initial phase of egg production subjected to different intakes of dietary threonine. The sheet entitled “Simulated data & fitting values” contains the 10 simulated data sets that were generated using a standard procedure of random number generator. The predicted values obtained by the new three-parameter and conventional four-parameter logistic models were also appeared in this sheet. (XLSX)

Spreadsheet from the paper entitled: Revisiting a Statistical Shortcoming when Fitting the Langmuir Model to Sorption Data by C.H. Bolster, Journal of Environmental Quality, 2008, 37:1986-1992. Spreadsheet has been modified to make a correction to the calculation of E for weighted data. (3/18/2010). Sorption models are commonly used for describing solute and metal sorption to soils. When fitting sorption models to sorption data, however, the user must be aware that certain statistical limitations exist with both linear and nonlinear versions of the models. Ongoing research at the Animal Waste Management Research Unit of the USDA-ARS addresses the effect of these statistical limitations on fitting phosphorus sorption data with various sorption models. This research was originally part of the former USDA-ARS National Program 206: Manure and By-product Utilization. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Modified Langmuir Equation Spreadsheet.

This dataset was mainly made for fun / nice looking visualization so first open it in excel to see the colours as well. If you want to use it for more complex purposes, I would recommend to do some data-prepping

Excel spreadsheet contain raw data extracted from manuscripts to calculate the infection rate (IR), stepwise dissemination rate (SDR), cumulative dissemination rate (CDR), stepwise transmission rate (STR) and cumulative transmission rate (CTR) presented in Table 5.

Modified equations of state (EoS) of forsterite, wadsleyite, ringwoodite, akimotoite, bridgmanite and post-perovskite based on the Helmholtz free energy are described using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The equations of state were set up by joint analysis of reference experimental data and can be used to calculate thermodynamic and thermoelastic parameters and P–V–T properties of the Mg-silicates. We used Visual Basic for Applications module in Microsoft Excel and presented a simultaneous calculation of full set of thermodynamic and thermoelastic functions using only T–P and T–V data as input parameters. Phase transitions in the MgSiO3–MgO system play an important role in the interpretation of the seismic boundaries of the upper Earth’s mantle and in the D″ layer. Therefore, proposed EoSes of silicates in the MgSiO3–MgO system have clear geophysical implications. The developed software will be interesting to specialists who are engaged to study the mantle mineralogy and Earth’s interior.
