    @cheeta0123

    I simply made all graphs in excel, then paste as picture in my word doc….
    Yes its fine but in appendices show how you made them.

    Picture is not an issue but will not helping demonstrate IT skill. So, i recommend it but if you do not have then you can submit.

    Thank You.

    @ Hammad Ahmed Qureshi

    Exactly my though just like @dawn pointed out…….since my computer was not working i sent project from another laptop…how would they get to see those excel files in which i made tables and graphs and imported them to word…..

    Second question……since i prepared the project in office 2010 and sent it through office 2007…would it have any impact or it is going to stay the same.

    Dear Hamad,

    Thank you for your pointer. I will use separate reference list and appendices for SLS.

    However, I meant to ask, do we need to detach reference list and appendices from RR & SLS for submission as in the submission portal it offers 3 separate options for file upload.

    Thank you.

    @ Hammad Ahmed Qureshi

    what are the chances of it affecting results ( not attaching a file showing how graph were prepared)

    @M in my opinion they will question you if you have not shown other excel skills in whole rap, like excel formulas etc, they wont fail you but withheld your result and will demand explanation and raw materials. ( my personal guess fail and pass depends on marker’s coin tossing whether you fall in head or tail (: just joking)

    @M.

    Any graphs made specifically can only made through excel sheets, there is no other way. So that is fine. If you have those files i recommend you to attached those made graphs in excel Appendices. Otherwise its fine.

    Office version is not issue if its 2007.

    Thank You.

    @M.

    You will not fail upon this but leaving a loophole on very judgmental passing criteria will not be a good option.

    Thank You.

    @hasanali95

    You need to demonstrate IT not excel skills. Excel is part of it. You can demonstrate by using graphs, making tables, writing about it in SLS etc.

    Thank You.

    @ Hammad Ahmed Qureshi

    Thanks for answering and making things easy for us…. Hopefully i will not bother you about this project after the following questions

    1. Do we need to write the exact word count…mine is overstated by few words.
    2. As they say research report must be over 7000 words…mine is above 7000 words when i count cover page and table of content otherwise it is 6998. is that fine?
    3. I just realized one mistake in project in power point slides i have written three zeros with turnover instead of million for 6 zeros (i did it alright in research report)…although this is the only mistake i have found in my entire project ….but can you guide me if a single mistake like that can prove costly
