This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to design, create and validate spreadsheets for spatial data and to translate spatial data into spreadsheet design and layout. It includes translating between spreadsheet and spatial software, and using functions and features of spreadsheet software, including linked spreadsheets, documents and advanced mathematical formulas. The unit also includes identifying design parameters and setting up software and spreadsheet templates to ensure quality and consistency in format and design, as well as using technology to apply advanced mathematical concepts to spatial data, including identifying and resolving errors relating to formulas and other spreadsheet functions.This unit is suitable for skilled surveying technicians and skilled spatial information system (SIS) technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems.Surveying and spatial information skills are applied in a range of industry contexts, including town planning, civil construction, mining, engineering, health, agriculture and defence.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with relevant state/territory regulations that govern surveying work, as well as work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations that apply to the workplace.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
