Excel Weather Data System

I wanted an Excel workbook to feel like a small information system, with a clear route from entering a record to understanding a trend.

中文摘要

Excel 天氣數據管理系統

這個項目有系統設計記錄:首頁、資料輸入、歷史記錄及統計圖表。曾研究使用 VBA 新增記錄,但不能確認原作最終是否採用。這次瀏覽器示範重建的是操作流程,並非原始 Excel 或 VBA 檔案。

01

A workbook with a route through it

The idea was to organise weather information behind a simple menu. A user could choose to add a record or view existing data, rather than having to understand every worksheet at once.

The design separated entry, storage and analysis. Records belonged in a consistent table; charts and spreadsheet functions would turn that table into a view of changes over time.

02

The data structure

Each planned entry included a date, city, temperature, humidity and weather condition. Keeping the same fields across records was important for later filtering, comparison and charting.

Buttons were planned to connect the different views. I also considered a stable interface proportion so the workbook would remain readable while moving between screens.

03

Where the record stops

I researched VBA as a way to add new rows automatically. The available archive does not establish that a final macro-enabled workbook was completed, so this page describes the design work without claiming a finished VBA application.

The new browser demo is a separate implementation of that idea. Any example rows in a demonstration are sample records, not a historical weather dataset or a live forecast service.

What this project helped me practise

  • Define consistent fields before designing charts.
  • Separate data entry from storage and analysis.
  • Make navigation understandable to someone opening the workbook for the first time.
