To prepare, use the directions as follows:

• Read Excel Formulas and Functions (PDF).
• View the videos # 1, 3-10, and 13-16 in the playlist Microsoft Excel 2016 (YouTube). (Links to an external site.)
  • Viewing other titles is optional.
• Need Excel? Go to the Productivity Software page.

Your workbook requirements are as follows:

• Label all values and name the worksheet tabs.
• Apply formatting such as bold text, colors, etc. as appropriate.
• Save your workbook in .xlsx format.
• • 1. Create a new spreadsheet that contains three separate data sets. Place each dataset onto its own worksheet. Example lists of datasets are the following:
       1. Temperature of your city for the past 5-10 days
       2. Scored points per game of your favorite sports team for their past 5-10 games
       3. Amount you paid for gas for the past few months
       4. Miles flown/driven per day/trip etc. for the past month
       5. Most anything else you can tabulate or can track
    2. Use at least four different functions (e.g. SUM, MAX, AVERAGE, MIN, COUNT, etc.) to summarize each data set. You choose which to use, but be sure each worksheet has at least four. It is acceptable if the functions are common between the three sheets.

• • On another sheet of the same file, create a worksheet that contains data and a calculation determining monthly payments for a proposed purchase. Include the following:
  • Identify your dream vehicle (plane, automobile, boat, etc.) and estimate its cost and the interest rate if you financed its purchase.
  • Enter data (loan amount, interest rate, term, etc.) onto the spreadsheet and use the PMT function and cell references to determine the monthly payments.

  • Important! The spreadsheets must be original (student created) for this assignment; recycled files and templates are not permitted. Start with a new worksheet and create from scratch.
