For this particular example, we will be
creating a Light Bulb fundraising sheet.
 Columns A-F will be utilized as well as
multiple rows, which depends
completely on the amount of team
members.

There are two different layers
of headings that we will be
using to make this
spreadsheet.

First, click on box A1 and drag your
mouse across until boxes A1-AF are
highlighted. Once all six boxes are
highlighted, click the “Merge & Center”
tab in the “Alignment” box. Now, type in
the title “Light Bulb Fundraising” or any
other of your choice.


In box A2, type a title such a “Who” or “Seller”
Now arrow over to box B2 and type in
something along the lines of “Amount Taken”
Next, write “Amount Sold” in box C2
In box D2, type “Money Due” or something
along those lines
Box E2 should be named “Money Handed In”
Lastly, box F2 should be named “Money Still
Owed”
Here is an example of the two headings we just made!
Now, we’re going to fill out
the six columns we just
labeled.

Column One
› Starting at box A3, type every team members
name down the column, whether or not they
are planning to sell the product.

Column Two
› For the “Amount Taken” column, type in the
number of light bulbs each mentor and student
has been given.

Column Three
› Type in the number of bulbs each member has
actually sold for this column.

Column Four
› For the next column, we’re going to make a
formula to save time on calculations.
› In box D3, type “=B3*19.99” and press enter.
 19.99 is the dollar amount each light bulb is worth
multiplied by the number of light bulbs taken by
the team member.
› To copy the formula to every box in the column,
run the mouse over the bottom right corner of
box D3 until a small black plus sign appears.
Once you see this plus, click and drag until you
reach the bottom of the data.

Column Five
› For this column, you simply need to record the
amount of money each team member have
handed in.

Column Six
› For the last column, we will create another
formula to figure out the dollar amount still owed
by the team member.
› Starting at box F3, type in “=D3-E3” and hit enter.
 This will subtract the amount of money handed in
from the dollar amount due, telling you how much
each team member still owes.
Here is a picture of what I just did so you can make
sure you are correctly following along
Now, on the bottom row, we
will create a line of totals for
every column.
First, go to Column B and scroll down to any
row below all of the other data. For this
example, I am going to start at box B30.
 Next, type “=sum(B3:B29)” and hit enter.

› This formula will add all the values in the boxes
featured from the above formula.

In order to have all the boxes in the totals
column possess an identical formula in
respect to its row, again hover over the
bottom right corner of box B30 until a black
plus sign appears. Then, simply drag the
plus over to F30.
Here is an example of the totals row we have just created.
