Project Description
This project was initially undertaken in the summer of 2017 and resulted in a full report on 2016.
The data was then updated for 2017 and 2018 (Q1 and Q2), which resulted in a ranking spreadsheet and document, but not a full report.
2017 and 2018 Q1/2 updates
The final files are in
E:\mcnair\Projects\VentureXpert Database
They include:
- US and TX SEL Amount - Done.xlsx
- Master Tables Sheet.docx
- Top 15 States (Based on All Time SELAmnt) SEL vs Year - Done.xlsx
- TX Cities Graphs and Data - Done.xlsx
- Top 100 Cities 2017 - Done.xlsx
- All States 2018 (Q1 and Q2) - Done.xlsx
- All States 2017 - Done.xlsx
- Top 100 Cities 2018 (Q1 And 2) - Done.xlsx
The database is vcdb3 and the SQL scripts are in
E:\mcnair\Projects\VentureXpert Database\vcdb3\LoadingScripts
The database build is documented in VentureXpert Data#Ranking Tables and Graphs
2016 Report
Project Location
E:\McNair\Projects\Ecosystem\Ranking
The report is available from that directory
Main SQL file location
Ranking.sql
This file works on the database cities.
However, the cities database takes vc data from vcdb2. See VC Database Rebuild for information on the build.
The output from vcdb2 is roundleveloutput2, which is exported as roundleveloutput2.txt
roundleveloutput2.txt is imported into cities as roundleveloutput2, and then left joined with populationtablecorrected.
Last Population SQL file location
Z:\Hubs\2017\sql scripts
Z:\Hubs\2017\clean data\Population
One issue is that cities without populations in populationtablecorrected but in roundleveloutput2 get dropped later. For example, roundleveloutput2 contains Brooklyn, NY but populationtablecorrected doesn't (its New York count is therefore suspect too).
populationtablecorrected is loaded from files 'population1.txt' and 'population2.txt'. Dups are removed with a max.
Their construction notes are on Hubs#Population_Data
