EXCEL SPREADSHEET
A spreadsheet is a software tool that allows large amounts of data to be stored, organised, analaysed and presented in graphical form. A spreadsheet is extremely useful because of its ability to make simple work of a mundane task (for example calculating the average time for all 5000 participants for the Tour Down Under Event). Calculating averages is not difficult but the sheer volume of work is time--consuming.
A spreadsheet allows you to create your own “formula” and then apply that formula to all 5000 at the same time, reducing the amount of work necessary dramatically.
Data, information and knowledge are important in all types of businesses. It is very important the correct data is recorded in the business systems to get the correct information and produce the right knowledge.
In this assessment, you will learn how to manage and control data using spreadsheets.

Module 2.2 Spreadsheet Exercise
Note that the weekly spreadsheet exercise is designed to help you complete your Excel assessment.
This week we will be focusing on FORMULAS in Excel. A formula is an equation that performs calculations between cells in a worksheet or table. A formula in Excel always begins with an equal sign. A simple formula may contain cell references and operators.
Instructions:
1. Use the Excel sheet you created in Week 3.
2. Read the Basic Skills in Using Excel 2013. Pdf. (pages 9-13) provided during week 3. However, if you prefer watching the video on how to use Excel, go to this website: Introduction to Excel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4zq3R8b5dQ
3. Using the excel worksheet you have created in week 3, add a column at the end and name it fee paid (Note that participants may pay different registration fee depending on their financial circumstances, that is, discounts are given to some participants)
4. Add 5 sample data in your spreadsheet
5. Create another tab in your excel document and call the worksheet Race-budget,
6. Create a table that looks like this:
7. Under the Income/Funding table, add to the description the data -Registration-
8. In the registration row, add the unit cost of $145 and estimated quantity of 200. Your excel sheet should look similar to this:
9. Compute the estimate amt by using the formula : unit cost * estimate qty (create this formula in the estimate amount cell; excel should automatically compute the estimated amount)
10. Compute for the actual number of registration. CountA is a predefined excel formula that counts cells that are not empty, you can use this to count the number of people who registered for the event (refer to the Basic Skills in Using Excel 2013. pdf or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4zq3R8b5dQ) to learn how to use formula.
11. Using the sum excel formula, compute the total of the estimated amount, and the total of the actual amount.
12. Your excel worksheet should look similar to this (amount reflected will be different because you have a different set of data):
13. Add more data in the description column (jersey, caps, minor sponsors and major sponsors)
14. Add data to the unit cost, estimate qty, actual qty and actual amount for jersey, caps, minor sponsors and major sponsors
15. Your excel worksheet should look similar to this:
16. Save your Excel workbook.
17. Document either in Excel or in a Word document the step you undertook in producing the Spreadsheet. Save your document.
18. BACK-UP! BACK-UP! BACK-UP! Do not forget to keep a back-up files. Either upload in your google drive or dropbox; and/or just e-mail the file to yourself so that you have a copy in your email; and/or save in a USB drive.
19. You can show your work to your lecturer for feedback.
20. REMEMBER THAT THIS EXERCISE IS PART OF THE FINAL EXCEL SPREADSHEET ASSESSMENT YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT ON WEEK 7.
Module 3-5 Spreadsheet Exercise
Note that the weekly spreadsheet exercise is designed to help you complete your Excel assessment.
This week, you will learn how to use more functions in Excel (IF, ISBLANK , SUMIF); absolute and relative references; and creating charts or graphs.
Cell references can be relative, absolute, or mixed. A relative reference is a reference that adjusts to the new location in the worksheet when the formula is copied. An absolute reference is a reference whose location remains constant when the formula is copied. A mixed reference is a reference that contains both relative and absolute reference.
A chart is a visual representation of data from your workbook. Charts add a visual element to your workbook and help convey the information ina simple, easy-to-understand manner.
Instructions:
1. Use the Excel sheet you created in Week 4.
2. Read the Basic Skills in Using Excel 2013. Pdf. (pages 11-13).
3. Using the excel worksheet you have created in week 4, add data to the expenses table (except the amount column). We will use a formula to compute for the amount column. Your table should look similar to this:
4. Save your spreadsheet .
5. Compute the amount for each description by using a the IF function. If the value of the quantity is blank then the default value is 1, if the value of the unit cost is blank then the default value is 0. The amount is computed by multiplying the unit cost with the quantity. This is an example of the formula:
6. Save your spreadsheet .
7. Now let’s create a table and graph
8. Create a new worksheet and call it Budget Report
9. We will create a report that looks like this:
Budget Summary Column:
• Create the labels Total Expenses, Total Actual Income and Balance (should look like the figure shown above)
• Total Expenses is from the total expenses from the expense table.
• Total Actual is the total actual amount from the income/funding table.
• Balance is computed by computing the difference of the total expenses from the total income.
Expenses for each category:
• Create the labels for each category.
• To compute for the expenses for each category. You need to use the SUMIF formula. You have to get the sum of all items that belong to the same category. For example, if you want to compute for the total expenses for the location, find all categories equal to location under the category column and add their amount from the amount column.
• In the Expenses table above, it shows that the Jerseys and T-shirts belong to the Other category. Therefore the report in the summary expenses shows that the Other category has a total of 39,000.
• Note: You need to use absolute referencing to computing for the expenses. Refer to this video for details on how to do absolute referencing: https://youtu.be/NmVMjQzseLA
Create the Chart:
• You are free to create any style of chart you want. In this example, I used a bar graph to show the total expenses, actual income and the estimated income.
• For help in creating charts, watch this video : https://youtu.be/Ur3vDy1sLi
10. Save your Excel workbook.
11. Document either in Excel or in a Word document the step you undertook in producing the Spreadsheet. Save your document.
12. BACK-UP! BACK-UP! BACK-UP! Do not forget to keep a back-up files. Either upload in your google drive or dropbox; and/or just e-mail the file to yourself so that you have a copy in your email; and/or save in a USB drive.
13. You can show your work to your lecturer for feedback.
14. REMEMBER THAT THIS EXERCISE IS PART OF THE FINAL EXCEL SPREADSHEET ASSESSMENT YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT ON WEEK 7.
Module 3-6 Spreadsheet Exercise

This week, we will focus on creating pivot tables. A pivot table is a powerful built-in data-analysis feature in Excel. It analyses, summarises, and manipulates data in large lists, worksheets or other collections. It is called a pivot table because fields can be moved within the table to create different type of summary lists, providing a “pivot”.
Additional Case Study Information:
The organisers of Santos Tour Down Under wanted to have separate spreadsheet of photos, stickers, and calendars sold. These photos, stickers and calendars contain highlights of the Tour Down Under event and photos of South Australia. It hired several sales representative to promote this product. The country, product, month and the amount of sales for each representative is recorded.
Instructions:
1. Use the Excel sheet you created in Week 5.
