In this case, your document name is Old Navy. So if I was submitting my
assignment, I would name my file:

1.
ABSOLUTE CELL REFERENCES: In previous activities you have used
formulas for math calculations. Each formula when copied (autofill)
updated and changed depending on the row or column you copied it to.
Example:
=SUM(A2-B2)
=SUM(A3-B3)
=SUM(A4-B4)
But what if you want a formula to include a particular cell every time?
Example:
=SUM(A2-C26)
=SUM(A3-C26)
=SUM(A4-C26)
You would then use absolutes. To make a formula have an absolute you
would use the $ or dollar sign. Your formula would look like this:
=SUM(A2-$C$26)
Notice the dollar signs around the “C”?
This means, the A2 cell will update and change depending on the row the data
is on but the $C$26 will not change. Example:
=SUM (A2-$C$26)
=SUM (A3-$C$26)
=SUM (A4-$C$26)
2.
REVIEW FORMULAS AND AUTOSUM: Compute the total for Column B,
Sales. Use AutoSum in cell B35. Adjust the range if needed.
In cell C14, type in
In cell D14, type in
In cell E14, type in
=8.625%*B14
=B14+C14
=B14/$B$35
3.
REVIEW AUTOFILL: Now use the AutoFill handle to fill C14 down to C33.
Fill D14 down to D33. Fill E14 down to E33.
Also AutoSum and/or AutoFill cells B35 to C35, D35, and E35.
4.
REVIEW FORMATTING:
a. Merge and center the title “Girl’s Department Sales Breakdown”

f. Center text in Row 12 vertically AND horizontally
g. Apply a cell style to Row 12
h. Apply the accounting style to B14:D35 with two decimal places
i. Apply the percent style to E14:E35
j. Adjust columns to fit text
5.
FILTER DATA: Filtering allows you to pull out specific information. Let’s
say you want to see what items are producing the sales amount of
1398.69. Click on A13 to make it the active cell. Now click on the DATA
tab and go to the SORT & FILTER section. Click on the FILTER. It has a
picture of a funnel on the button.
You will see buttons with down arrows. Those are the filter buttons.
Select the filter for SALES. In the middle part of the dialog box you will
many items with a check mark in front of the dollar amount. UN-select
the check mark in SELECT ALL. Now find the number 1398.69 and select
it. Click on OK. The data with sales of 1398.69 will display.
Now go to the bottom of this spreadsheet and answer the question in
Row 39.
NOTE: DON’T PANIC! Your data is still there in your spreadsheet. Unselect
the FILTER button on the ribbon and all your data will display again.
6.
PRINT TO SCALE: The Excel spreadsheet program will take a large
document and scale it down to fit on one page for printing (the reason for
the large font). Click on the FILE tab, click on PRINT, click on the option
for Scaling. Choose the option that will fit the whole worksheet on one
page. This option may not be available with older inkjet and dot matrix
printers.
7.
REVIEW SORT: Sort your products (cells A14:E33) alphabetically from Z to
A.
8.
REVIEW CHARTS: Create a bar chart with the information in Column A
and E. Select A14:A33 and then use the CTRL key and the mouse to select
E14:E33. Choose whatever bar chart you would like and place it on a new
sheet. Name the new sheet SALES.
9.
REVIEW ABSOLUTE CELL REFERENCES: The percentages in Column E use
a formula that is absolute. What cell does each formula absolutely
reference? Answer the question in Row 40.
10. REVIEW FILTERING: Turn FILTERING on and filter for Sales of 1987.85.
How many products have sales of 1987.85? Answer the question in Row
41.
Turn off filtering.
