Go to Indicators by clicking on
the button on the left side on the navigation bar. When you have
opened this page, click on the dropdown menu. Choose the indicator
on which you want to work. You will then see the steps to complete
the exercise. Click on Video instructions to see how the steps

In order to be able to see the videos, as well as the steps for

web site or it can be downloaded automatically for you when
you go to any of the Indicators Page.
On the Indicator Page are links to the Fact
Finder Website of the U.S. Census, which you will need to
get data. In addition, you can download an Excel
Spreadsheet Template now or from any Indicator Page, by clicking
on the link below the FACT FINDER website link. To move on to

and choose the indicator on which you want to work or the button
"Indicators" on the buttons bar on the left side of
the screen. The dropdown menu is located above the FACT FINDER
website link on all of the Indicator’s Pages.
Each Indicator has its own tab in the Excel spread sheet. Put
the information from each Indicator Step into the corresponding
tab in the Excel work sheet. To print from excel, you need to
choose “File” than “Print”. A small pop
up window will open with the printing settings. On the bottom
left corner of this screen you will notice a small box named “Print
what” - containing three different options: “Selection”,
“Active sheet(s)” and “Entire workbook”.
To print a single tab from Excel you will need to select the “Active
sheet(s)” option first, while you are in the worksheet you
want to print and than click “OK” on the right bottom
corner of the printing settings window. To print an entire Cast
Profile you will need to select the “Entire workbook”
option first and than click “OK” on the right bottom
corner of the printing settings window.
For reference you can download a complete Excel
Template containing all the data and calculations of the Indicators.
