ABSTRACT
A manual way of generating graph by inserting formula on the desired data is not
efficient and time consuming. Not all users have that kind of knowledge on using
manual data analysis tools such as Microsoft Excel. The purpose of this project is to give
users a platform to analyze their desired data without any manual formula input
required. The proposed system is hopefully capable to give the convenience to users to
analyze data.

at anytime and anywhere. Registered user able to store their analysis result in the
system database server. Besides, the analysis result that produce by the system is in
chart or diagram form which makes user easier to understand the analysis result.
1.6 Expected Output
The proposed data analysis tools will analyze the data set that had been input by
the user. The tools will produce chart or diagram based on the analysis result. In the
data analysis module, user are required to input their data set which they wanted to be
analyze by the tools. The analysis tools will analyze the data set by using basic
statistical method or technique and it will produce the analysis result as in chart or
diagram form.
5

CHAPTER2
LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY
2.1 Introduction
Literature review is a summary of the finding and facts found through the related
sources. Literature review provides supporting facts to develop the proposed tool. The
purpose of having literature review is synchronized with existing literature on data
analysis tool, which will be the foundation of developing Web-based Data Analysis
Tool (WeDA). This can be used as justification for future research on data analysis
tool.
From literature reviewed, an appropriate methodology is required to develop the
proposed tool. An appropriate methodology will enhance the overall development
process and guide the developer to develop high quality software in shorter time and
lower cost.
Hence, there are multiple methodologies will be proposed based on the facts of
reason to select a methodology and principle of methodology. Project can be
categorized into three sizes, which are small, medium and complex system. Aspects
such as size, composition, priorities, and criticality determines the different level of
projects. Personal bias is commonly in a project team, based on their experiences,
principles and preferences towards a project. These will affect the project quality and
optimality.
7
2.2 Facts and Findings
2.2.1 Domain
Data analysis tool is a documented and tested step-by-step method aimed at
smooth functioning through standard practices. It is used in variety of industries
which need analysis report, generally include the graph such as (1) pie chart, (2) line
graph, (3) bar chart and (4) analysis based on the graph.
Data analysis tool provides the ease of use, discovering information and
suggesting conclusion which can support decision making. The most commonly
used data analysis tool, Microsoft Excel is not user friendly. This problem is
emerging because the data input and formula are done manually. Hence, the
proposed tool is developed for the user who does not familiar with formula to be
used, such as formula to calculate mode and mean. This data analysis tool is
expected to able to solve the problems faced by beginner user of Microsoft Excel.
8
2.2.2 Existing System
Currently, Microsoft Excel is using manual formula input to generate different types
of graph. Hence, the existing systems will be used as a foundation to develop the
tool.

Figure 2-1 Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application developed by Microsoft for
Microsoft Windows and Mac OS.
This tool is developed to allow the user to organize data manipulation such as
arithmetic operations. In this tool, it has a variety of interactive features which allows
the user interface hides the spreadsheet completely. Interactive features can be
customized with colors, styles and pattern to present the spreadsheet. Hence, the
spreadsheet can also be known as decision support system (DSS).
9
The basic functionality in Microsoft Excel are calculation, graphing, macro
programming and pivot tables. With the main objective to aid the user, there are
many formulas can be input to allow calculation based on data and formula. There
are wide range of formulas and functions available, and is categorized based on
user's usage. Besides, different types of graph can be produced based on the data
calculated.
Furthermore, Microsoft Excel of Windows version supports programming
language, which is Visual Basic Applications (VBA). VBA also allows spreadsheet
manipulation by writing code using Visual Basic Editor (VBE). It is suitable for
programmers who prefer code module organization environment. They can
implement automating tasks such as formatting or data organization in VBA. Any
intermediate results by calculation done can be reported back to the spreadsheet.

1.1 Project Background
A collection of data plays an important role for decision making to a personal,
or/and a company. Data can be measure in terms of qualitative and quantitative. Data
can be found anywhere, such as temperature of a weather, personal income,
friendliness of a system, size of an object, and so on. Hence, it is important to keep the
record of a data.
The "Web-based Data Analysis Tool (WeDA)" is a proposed web-based tool to
produce a set of statistical result based the data input by the user. In this project, user
is required to input a set of quantitative data only in order to allow the tool to formulate
the data provided, while data results is the results shown based on the user input and
desired results in different type of charts and diagram.
This project covers quantitative data set only.

the system, they can keep their data set inside the system's database and user will be
able to view back their analysis result. Besides, user also can edit or update their
existing data set that had been store inside the system's database. If the user use the
system without a membership account, the system will still analyze the data set that
had been insert by the user and produce the analysis result but the user will not be
able store their analysis result in the server.
1.4.2 System Module
The proposed system consists the modules as mention below:
a.
Member Login Module

member for the system.
c.
User Profile Module
d. Data Management Module
This module allows user to update their profile.
This module allows user to upload or edit their
data set.
e.
Data Analysis Module
This module will analyze the data set that had
been insert by the user and produce analysis
result as chart or diagram form.
4
1.4.3 Boundary of System
The scopes of the project boundary are listed as follows:
a. The system is built based on 3-tier web-based application architecture which the
framework concept is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) model
concept.
b. The system is built using hypertext markup language (HTML), JavaServer Pages
(JSP), Javascript, My Structured Query Language (MySQL) and Java
programming language.
c. For data analysis module, the system will analyze data set by using basic
statistical method and the analysis result will produce as chart or diagram form.
1.5 Project Significance
The importance of this data analysis tools is to allow user to analyze their data set
at anytime and anywhere. Registered user able to store their analysis result in the
system database server. Besides, the analysis result that produce by the system is in
chart or diagram form which makes user easier to understand the analysis result.
1.6 Expected Output
The proposed data analysis tools will analyze the data set that had been input by
the user. The tools will produce chart or diagram based on the analysis result. In the
data analysis module, user are required to input their data set which they wanted to be
analyze by the tools. The analysis tools will analyze the data set by using basic
statistical method or technique and it will produce the analysis result as in chart or
diagram form.
5
1.7 Conclusion
This chapter includes project background, problem statements, objective, project
scope, project significant and the expected output of the project. As a conclusion, the
proposed system is a data analysis tools which it will analyze the data set that had been
input by user. The system will analyze data set by using basic statistical methods and
techniques and the analysis result will be produce as chart or diagram form.

CHAPTER2
LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY
2.1 Introduction
Literature review is a summary of the finding and facts found through the related
sources. Literature review provides supporting facts to develop the proposed tool. The
purpose of having literature review is synchronized with existing literature on data
analysis tool, which will be the foundation of developing Web-based Data Analysis
Tool (WeDA). This can be used as justification for future research on data analysis
tool.
From literature reviewed, an appropriate methodology is required to develop the
proposed tool. An appropriate methodology will enhance the overall development
process and guide the developer to develop high quality software in shorter time and
lower cost.
Hence, there are multiple methodologies will be proposed based on the facts of
reason to select a methodology and principle of methodology. Project can be
categorized into three sizes, which are small, medium and complex system. Aspects
such as size, composition, priorities, and criticality determines the different level of
projects. Personal bias is commonly in a project team, based on their experiences,
principles and preferences towards a project. These will affect the project quality and
optimality.

2.2 Facts and Findings
2.2.1 Domain
Data analysis tool is a documented and tested step-by-step method aimed at
smooth functioning through standard practices. It is used in variety of industries
which need analysis report, generally include the graph such as (1) pie chart, (2) line
graph, (3) bar chart and (4) analysis based on the graph.
Data analysis tool provides the ease of use, discovering information and
suggesting conclusion which can support decision making. The most commonly
used data analysis tool, Microsoft Excel is not user friendly. This problem is
emerging because the data input and formula are done manually. Hence, the
proposed tool is developed for the user who does not familiar with formula to be
used, such as formula to calculate mode and mean. This data analysis tool is
expected to able to solve the problems faced by beginner user of Microsoft Excel.
8
2.2.2 Existing System
Currently, Microsoft Excel is using manual formula input to generate different types
of graph. Hence, the existing systems will be used as a foundation to develop the
tool.

Figure 2-1 Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet application developed by Microsoft for
Microsoft Windows and Mac OS.
This tool is developed to allow the user to organize data manipulation such as
arithmetic operations. In this tool, it has a variety of interactive features which allows
the user interface hides the spreadsheet completely. Interactive features can be
customized with colors, styles and pattern to present the spreadsheet. Hence, the
spreadsheet can also be known as decision support system (DSS).

The basic functionality in Microsoft Excel are calculation, graphing, macro
programming and pivot tables. With the main objective to aid the user, there are
many formulas can be input to allow calculation based on data and formula. There
are wide range of formulas and functions available, and is categorized based on
user's usage. Besides, different types of graph can be produced based on the data
calculated.
Furthermore, Microsoft Excel of Windows version supports programming
language, which is Visual Basic Applications (VBA). VBA also allows spreadsheet
manipulation by writing code using Visual Basic Editor (VBE). It is suitable for
programmers who prefer code module organization environment. They can
implement automating tasks such as formatting or data organization in VBA. Any
intermediate results by calculation done can be reported back to the spreadsheet.
