Open Excel and enter the data from the data table into a spreadsheet.
Bold the title and the column labels.
Use merge and center on the title.
Adjust column widths as needed.
Center all data.
Use the border tool to outline the cells in the spreadsheet.
Currently, the data is in alphabetical order by name. Sort the data in
descending numerical order according to current population. (Use Sort in
the Data Ribbon.)
8. Using the data in your spreadsheet, create a bar graph (Use Column
graph in the Insert Ribbon) to show a visual comparison between the
mammals’ populations in 1975 and the current population.
9. Choose the first layout that has a title, axes labels and a legend
10. Title your bar graph “Highly Endangered Mammal Populations.”
11. Label the axes with Population and Mammals.
12. Resize the graph to fit the page and so that the populations are in
intervals of 200’s. Be sure that the mammals’ names are complete.
13. Put your name and hour and date in the header.
14. Save your spreadsheet and graph to the folder in the N-drive with your
last name as the file name.
