EXCEL PROBLEM (150 points) – REMINDER: circle your answer if multiple solutions are written
You are the financial representative/agent that helps match up Ohio High School students with colleges of their
choice. Several pieces of information are important in obtaining the college option of the student’s choice. You
have set up a workbook with the following three worksheets to keep track of the necessary information:
GRADS – Information about individual students are given here with the input data being in the range A3:E20.
Following the student’s name is their high school GPA (final grade point average); the abbreviation of the
college of their choice (FYI: UNK means unknown); the state the college is in (FYI: this will be blank if the
college is unknown); and the number of service hours each student performed during their high school years.
The remaining data will be determined when answering the problems given below. NOTE: see the
DEFINITIONS section given below.
COLLEGE – The input information on this worksheet, range A3:E15, contains the name of the different
colleges that students might attend starting with the full name of the college followed by the abbreviation. The
system is the “term” definition i.e. either quarter, semester, or yearly. Lastly is the in-state and out-of state costs
per term. The remaining data, starting with column F, will be determined when answering the problems given
below. NOTE: see the DEFINITIONS section given below.
UNIT – Only two pieces of information are given here… to be used when appropriate (see next section).
*** DEFINITIONS:
 “In-state” means that the college of the student’s choice is located in the state of Ohio, since all of the
students in the list are from an Ohio high school.
 “Out-of-state” means that the college of the student’s choice is *not* located in the state of Ohio.
 A “school year” is the 9/10 months that students are in classes not including summer term; thus, those
on the quarter system have 3 quarters per school year (see the UNIT worksheet); those on the semester
system have 2 semesters per school year (see the UNIT worksheet); and those on the yearly system have
1 term per school year.
1. (10 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell grads!A21 to determine the number of students on the TELO High
School system list. NOTE: your answer should update should students be added or deleted.
2. (15 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell grads!A22 to determine the percent of students on the TELO High
School system list that will be attending college.
3. (10 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell grads!F3, which can be copied down to cell grads!F20, to determine
if student A is attending an in-state college.

4. (25 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell grads!G3, which can be copied down to cell grads!G20, to determine
if student A is in the top 10% of the class. NOTE: You need to determine how many students would be in
the top 10%. This value can have a decimal portion. For instance, if there are 26 students on the list, then
10% would be 2.6; if there are 23 students on the list, then 10% would be 2.3. Since you can’t have a partial
student valedictorian, you can assume the normal mathematical rounding will take place to determine the
number of students in the top 10%... for the given examples, that would be 3 and 2, respectively.
5. (20 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell grads!H3, which can be copied down to cell grads!H20, to determine
if student A is a valedictorian. A student is a valedictorian if they are planning to attend college; and if they
either have a gpa of at least 3.5 with at least 500 service hours; or have the highest (i.e. the most) service
hours.
*** WATCH FOR CHANGE OF WORKSHEET ON NEXT THREE PROBLEMS***
6. (25 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell college!F3, which can be copied down and across to cell
college!G15, to determine how much it will cost to attend The Ohio State University for one school year of
in-state tuition. NOTE: you will need to use the values on the UNIT worksheet. REMINDER: there are 3
different systems that you will need to consider.
7. (25 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell grads!I3, which can be copied down to cell grads!I20, to determine
the cost of tuition per school year for student A. REMINDER: you have to consider whether the student is
going to be paying in-state or out-of-state tuition.
8. (20 pts) Write an Excel formula in cell college!H3, which can be copied down and across to cell
college!I15, to determine the monthly payment of the loan that that students attending The Ohio State
University took out to pay for 4 years of in-state college tuition. The loan has an annual interest rate of 5%
compounded quarterly to be paid back in 10 years. NOTE: there is no accumulating interest from when you
received the loan to when you finished college; and you will immediately start paying back the loan as soon
as you graduate. REMINDER: do not use the UNIT values here but the constant values of 3 months/qtr and
4 quarters per year. NOTE: the one year of tuition cost is the only cell reference you need.

ACCESS PROBLEM (150 points)
AGGREGATE FUNCTIONS  GroupBy, Sum, Min, Max, Avg, Count, Expression, Where
STUDENT – This table contains the list of each student in the current graduating class in the TELO High
School system. Included is a unique number per student, name, cumulative high school grade point average, and
total service hours worked while attending high school.
COLLEGE – This table is a list of all the possible colleges that students can attend. A unique college letter
value, the college name, and the college abbreviation are included as well as the term system (quarter, semester
or yearly) and the total tuition costs per year (not including summer).
OFFERS – This table defines the offer(s) made from colleges to students. Not all of the students received offers
to attend a college although some students received multiple offers to attend different colleges. In addition, not
all of the colleges made offers at all. The 3rd column designates the amount of scholarship awarded, if any, to the
student from the specified college.The students that have offers but no scholarship have null values in the
scholarship field.
RMBOARD – Some students already know (approximately) what will have to pay for room and board (not
including summer). Notice that not all the students know what they need to pay for room and board; and by the
way, some students may be living at home.
***** REMINDER: Only a portion of the data is present on the tables.
1. (20 pts) Draw the relationship diagram for the given database. Be sure to list all the primary and foreign
keys for each table and draw a line from field to field between tables to designate the relationship.
