The goals of this homework are:

• Demonstrate your ability to use pivot tables.

Instructions

You are interested in the weapon types involved with terry stops. You have decided to build a number of pivot tables to explore the relationship between weapon types and other factors.

1. Download a fresh copy of the terry stop dataset.
2. Build new a pivot table to count the number of incidents for each weapon type.
   • I counted the Subject ID in the values field.
   • Sort this so the most common weapon type is on type.
   • 
   • Call this sheet Weapon Count
3. Build new a pivot table to compare weapon type to Subject Perceived Gender
   • Filter out the None, and - weapon types.
   • Filter out the - gender
   • Sort so that the highest value is in the upper left hand corner of the table.
   • Note, I did not add a filter element yet, I used the existing filters.
   • 
   • Call this worksheet Weapon By Gender
4. Build a new pivot table to look at weapon type by age group.
   • Filter out the None and - weapon types.
   • Only show subjects with a perceived gender of Male
   • Show the data as a percent of the column.
   • Sort the table so the largest percentage for age 46 to 55 is on the top.
   • 
   • Call this worksheet Weapon by Age Group
5. Build a new pivot table
   • In the Rows place the Perceived Race
   • Under this place the weapon type.
   • In the Columns place the Report Date
   • Count the subject id.
   • Filter by officer race, white officers only.
   • Look only at Black or White Subject perceived race.
   • Sort the data by the most frequently occurring weapon type.
   • Remove the Totals
   • Move the subtotals to below the group.
   • 
   • Call this worksheet All Features
6. Build another pivot table of your choice.
