Exercise 1:
You were asked to assist your IT department with migrating information from the old employee
system to the new system which was recently implemented. As the systems databases are
different, some details in the new system are missing, and you're required to complete them, as
much as possible.
Fill the missing fields in the following worksheet, based on the instructions below:
Experience Payroll
Employee First Last Hire d Raise
Email ID Name Name City Date Employee? Payroll %

£10,08
[email protected] 9345           8  

£11,17
[email protected] 6875           6  

£10,54
[email protected] 6431           6  

£10,00
[email protected] 6076           4

£10,82
[email protected] 8638           2  

£11,37
[email protected] 8187           9  

1. Extract the First and Last Name of each employee based on the email address, which is in the
following format:
[email protected]
firstname - Employee's First Name
lastname - Employee's Last Name

2. Retrieve the cities where each employee lives from the old system. In case a certain employee
isn't found in the old database, it means that he's a new hire, and therefore the default is London.
Email Hire date City
[email protected] 1/19/2019 Manchester
[email protected] 9/21/2018 Cardiff
[email protected] 11/16/2018 Birmingham
[email protected] 11/6/2017 Liverpool
[email protected] 11/6/2018 London
[email protected] 11/29/2017 Liverpool
[email protected] 12/2/2018 Bristol
[email protected] 9/11/2018 Belfast
[email protected] 12/4/2018 Cambridge

3. Retrieve the hire date of the employees. In case the hire date is missing, it means that the
employee was hired on January 5, 2020. If an employee was hired before 2019, it means he's an
experienced employee. Otherwise, return "No experience"
4. Your company had outstanding financial results in 2020, so the CEO decided to raise the
payroll of all the employees in the company, in the following rates:
 Employees hired in 2020 - 3% Raise
 Employees hired in 2019 - 5% Raise
 Employees hired in 2018 or before - 10% Raise

Fill the percentages in the "Payroll Raise %" column accordingly.

4. Draw chart to visualize the difference in payroll (after raised) by number of working
experience and by city.

Given Petrol Data in September 2019 as follows:
Code Quantity (litre)

N01MO 2700

X02BP 1800

D03CA 900

X04CA 2100

D05SH 700

X06MO 1900
 N07CA 3000

D08ES 830

N09ES 500

N10BP 1000

Input data into Excel and compute as follows:

1) Insert columns: Product Name, Producer, Unit Price, Total Sales, Tax, Total Sales after
tax
2) Fill column Product Name, given that the first letter of Code corresponding to product name.
Tax rate is as following:

Code Product Name Tax rate (%)

X Petrol 2.8

D Diesel 2.5

N Oil 2

3) Fill column Producer, given that the 2 last letters of Code corresponding to producer. Unit
price is as shown below:
Unit Price
(unit: VND)
BP ES SH CA MO

Producer British Petro Esso Shell Castrol Mobil

X 21.500 19.500 20.500 22.000 20.000

D 17.000 16.500 17.500 18.000 16.000

N 205.000 195.000 200.000 210.000 190.000

4) Sort out data of item “Petrol”

5) Use function to compute total sales of item “Oil” from producer Castrol
6) Draw chart to compare the Total sales after tax of Producers for each items (Petrol, Diesel and
Oil)
Exercise 3:
Your company sells products in several regions (East and West) of the United States. Each
region keeps records of the number of units of each product sold during the months of January,
February, and March.
1. Create a consolidated worksheet that gives the total unit sales for each product by month.
2. Draw chart to visualize the distribution of sales by months for each product.
