TED Talk managers are preparing a presentation on the history of TED Talks. They need some help developing some important visual aids. Specifically, they want a color-coded chart that shows how certain descriptive tags seem to cluster together for the higher-ranked videos. Using the provided spreadsheet of the top 10 TED Talks and their descriptive tags, use a series of conditional formatting and then manual sorting to create visual clusters to visually show how the top-ranked videos are tagged by viewers. Create a visual aid that shows the descriptive qualities that best define the top-ranked videos.

Detailed Instructions:

  1. Download the spreadsheet, TED Talk Activity.xlsx. Refer to the Q2 sheet in the spreadsheet.
  2. Using conditional formatting, have the descriptive tag counts that are above average display with a green background and those with below average count display with a red background.
  3. Manually group rows together (using copy and paste) until you have stacked the colors together as much as possible. (Hint: insert a blank row before you move one, so you do not accidentally delete any data.) Note that although there is no right or wrong way to stack the rows, you want to stack them so that the colors tell the most compelling story.
