Microsoft Excel Practical Exercise

Exercise 1

You have a monthly income of $100,000. Your monthly expenditures are Rent - $15,000, Food - $8,000, Electricity - $5,000, Phone - $5,000, and Cable TV - $1,500. Make out a clear worksheet with the Monthly Income, the Monthly Expenses listed and summed, and the remainder (that is, the left over each month) calculated.

Exercise 2

Create the worksheet below. Type in the labels, the student numbers, the test results (which are out of 100), and the test weights. The total marks and the class averages for each test must be calculated. The class average for test 1 is simply the average of the marks obtained in that test. Be careful calculating the total marks - you must use the test weights. The first test is worth a quarter of the marks, the second is worth a quarter, while the third is worth a half. Changing the weights in cells C13 to D13 should change the Total values.

The black borders around cells can be added using the Borders toolbar button . Select the

cells you want a border around and the select from the drop-down menu.

Now format the test weights so that they are shown as percentages. Simply select the cells, choose FORMAT|CELLS, and format them as “Percentage”.

Select the cells from A4 to E9 and choose DATA|SORT. Select that you wish to sort according to the ‘Total’ column and that you want the results sorted in Descending order.
