Microsoft EXCEL Laboratory Exercise

1. Open a blank workbook 2. Write the following entries into the specified cells: C2 : Annual Fruit Sales B3 : 1999 C3 : 2000 D3 : 2001 E3 : 2002 B4 : 1000 C4 : 1250 D4 : 800 E4 : 1300 A4 : Apple A5 : Orange A6 : Banana B5 : 2300 C5 : 2500 D5 : 1200 E5 : 1450 F3 : Total G3 : Average

B6 : 500 C6 : 300 D6 : 600 E6 : 250

3. Merge the cells from A2 to G2. Apply the following changes to the title line: Change the horizontal and vertical text alignments as center. Change the row height of row 2 as 25. Change the font, font size, font style and font color as Tahoma, 18, bold, blue. 4. Using range selection, select the cells from B3 to G3. Then press Ctrl key on the keyboard and select the cells from A4 to A6. (this way you can select multiple cells on different parts of the worksheet) Now change the font, font size and font style of the selected cells as Times New Roman, 12, bold-italic and change the horizontal text alignment of these cells as left with indent value 1. 5. Using the AutoSum feature, find and write the sum of cells from B4 to E4 into cell F4. Then copy this cell to F5 and F6. (Hold the right bottom of F4 and drag it to F5 and F6) Observe that the formulas are updated when copied. 6. Using the Average function find and write the average sales of apple over years into cell G4. (Excel will suggest a range automatically to you, however this range will be wrong. So you will have to select the range yourself) Using the same method in the previous question, copy this cell to G5 and G6. 7. Add a comment to G4. Write the text Average sales over years into the comment box. 8. Select the cells from B4 to G6. Change format of the selected cells to Currency with Symbol TL and 3 decimal places. 9. Change the column width of Column A such that all the texts on this column can fit into the cells. 10. Select the columns from B to G and apply AutoFit Selection for these columns.

11. Add a new row above the 3rd row (that is between rows 2 and 3). 12. Add outside and inside borders to your table. For the ouside border choose a thicker line. (To add borders, select the range where you want to add borders (that is from A2 to G7), then choose Format Cells from the shortcut menu and click the Border tab) 13. Select the title (select the merged cell in row 2) and change the cell color to yellow. (To change cell color, from the shortcut menu select Format Cells, then click Pattern tab) 14. Select the cells B4 to G4 and A5 to A7 (Use Ctrl key). Change the cell color as pink. 15. Select the cells from B5 to G7. Change the cell color as light blue. 16. Using Print Preview feature, observe how your document would appear on a printed sheet. Add one of the automatic headers to the header. Add the page number to the footer of the document. Change the page orientation as Landscape. (Use the setup menu in the Print Preview mode to add header&footer and change page orientation) 17. Write the following entries into the specified cells: A11 : 2002 Status B10 : Apple C10 : Orange D10 : Banana 18. Click on the cell B11. Click on the Paste Function button (or the small arrow at right of AutoSum button) and find If function. Write the necessary entries to test whether the value of E5 (2002 sales of apple) is larger than G5 (Average sales of apple over years). If the value of E5 is larger, then OK should be written to B11. If it is smaller, NOT OK should be written. Apply similar operations for 2002 sales of orange and banana. (that is for E6 G6 and E7 G7 pairs) 19. Select the cells from B5 to G7. Click on the Chart Wizard button. Select Column chart type and the first chart sub-types. Write Annual Fruit Sales as the Chart title, Year as the Category (X) axis, Value as the Category (Y) axis. Insert the chart as an object into Sheet 1. Place the chart on an empty place of the Sheet 1. 20. Move the legend to the bottom of the chart. (Right-click on the legend area and choose Format Legend, then select Placement) 21. Change the pattern of the Chart Area. Select any of the patterns you like from the Texture patterns. (Right-click on the Chart area, choose Format Chart Area, then click on Fill Effects and select Texture tab)
