Our practical Excel exercises are much more than just exercises! We design our exercises in such a way that they provide the user with a mapping of the Excel
features that can be used in order to complete the appropriate task in the most efficient manner possible. We also reference each step in each exercise to the
appropriate tutorial that needs to be studied in order to be able to complete the step.

The solutions to our comprehensive exercises are only available to customers who have purchased either a full or training membership. If you have not purchased a
membership, we unfortunately cannot provide you with any of the solutions or assist you with any of the steps that are included in the appropriate exercise.

Start the exercise by saving the workbook on your system, then complete step number 1 and each subsequent step in the order as listed on this sheet before
comparing your workbook to the solution that we have provided.
