Question 1

Consider the following spreadsheet based on the five stores’ sales of DVDs over four weeks:

A B C D E F

1 DVD Store
2 Sales Weeks 1 to 4
3
4 STORES Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 TOTAL
5 Store 1 100 125 150 175
6 Store 2 1010 1150 1250 1350
7 Store 4 990 1010 880 770
8 Store 5 1500 16000 17000 18000
9 TOTAL

(a) Write the function that would calculate the total sales from Store 1 (2 marks)
(b) State how you would center the text “DVD Store” across the columns used by the
spreadsheet. (2 marks)
(c) State the range that would select only the totals for each of the four weeks (2 marks)
(d) State the cell that contains the sales from store 2 in week 3 (1 mark)
(e) Write the formula to compute the percentage of Store 2 sales for week 1 (2 marks)
(f) The comma (,) format was applied to the numeric data in columns B to F. State two cells that
are affected by this formatting (2 marks)
(g) Formulae were placed in Column F and row 9 to compute the TOTALS. Suppose the data in
C6 was changed from 1150 to 2150, state three cells whose data would change automatically.
