Ch03_HOE_Jobs

Project 1:

Project Description:
You are an academic advisor for the School of Computing at a university. You researched the job outlook that indicated the number of jobs in 2019 and the estimated number of jobs in 2029. You will prepare several charts to help you identify trends.

1 Start Excel. Download and open the file named Exp22_Excel_Ch03_HOE_Jobs.xlsx. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename.
0
2 You want to start by creating a clustered column chart. You will focus on the first four jobs included in the list.

In the Outlook sheet, use the Insert tab to create a clustered column chart for the range A5:D9. Cut the chart and paste it in cell H1. Set 3.5" height and 5.3" width for the chart. 9
3 Next, you want to create a recommended chart to depict the number of people for each job and the estimated number of new people by 2029.

In the Outlook sheet, use the Recommended Charts feature to create a recommended chart for the ranges A5:B12 and D5:D12. Change it to a stacked bar chart and move it to a chart sheet named Bar Chart. 10
4 For the third chart, you want to see what percentage each job contributes to the total job pool for this group.

Display the New Jobs worksheet, select the range A4:B9 and use Quick Analysis to create a pie chart. Move the pie chart to a chart sheet called Pie Chart. Note, Mac users use the ribbon to create the pie chart. 10
5 The last chart will depict the number of new jobs and the related percentage increase. Because the two data types are different, you will create a combo chart.

In the Outlook sheet, select the ranges A5:A12 and D5:E12, and create a combo chart with Clustered Column - Line on Secondary Axis. Move the combo chart to a chart sheet called Combo Chart. 10
6 It is important to replace the default chart titles with actual descriptive chart titles.

With the combo chart selected, type Number of New Jobs by 2029 for the chart title. Apply bold and Black, Text 1 font color to the chart title.
Select the pie chart, type New Computer-Related Jobs by 2029 for the chart title. Apply bold, 18 pt font size, and Black, Text 1 font color to the chart title.
Select the bar chart, type Projected Number of Jobs by 2029 as the chart title.
Select the column chart, type Number of Jobs 2019 and 2029 for the chart title. Apply bold and Dark Blue font color to the chart title. 10
7 You want to add a value axis title to clarify the column chart.

With the column chart selected, add a primary horizontal axis title and type Job Titles as the axis title. Apply Dark Blue font color to the axis title. 3
8 Adjusting the value axis settings will make the axis labels easier to read on the bar chart.

Select the bar chart, change the maximum bound for the value axis to 1800000 and display the units in Thousands. Apply Dark Blue font color to the axis title, Thousands. 4
9 Showing percentages for pie slices is important to knowing which job contributes what percentage of the overall new jobs.

Select the pie chart, add data labels in the Inside End position. Display Percentage labels. Remove the Value data labels. Apply bold and 18 pt font size to the data labels. 6
10 You want to apply a texture fill to the chart area to create a softer appearance around the pie chart.

Apply the Blue tissue paper texture fill to the chart area on the pie chart. 3
11 It is a best practice to add Alt Text for a chart for accessibility compliance.

With the pie chart selected, add Alt Text: Displays the percentage of new computer jobs by job title. (including the period). 4
12 You want to emphasize one job category with a different fill color and by setting it apart from the rest of the pie.

Select the Computer Systems Analysts pie slice, apply Red solid fill color, and explode the slice by 10%. 5
13 You want to give more contrast to the bar chart. Therefore, you will apply a different chart style to the bar chart.

Select the bar chart and apply Style 10. 5
14 You decide to exclude the number of new jobs to simplify the column chart.

Select the column chart. Change data source by changing the chart data range from D to C. Then switch the data series and categories so that the years are on the category axis. 5
15 You want to insert a new column so that you can insert sparklines later.

In the Outlook sheet, insert a new column D. Type Trends in cell D5. 4
16 You want to insert sparklines to show the trends between 2019 and 2029.

Select the range B6:C12 and insert Line sparklines in the range D6:D12. Display markers on the sparklines and select Dark Blue, Sparkline Style Dark #4. Change the marker color to Dark Red. 7
17 Each sparkline has its own start and stop value. To depict the data more accurately, you will adjust the minimum and maximum values on the axes.

Customize sparklines by setting the vertical axis minimum value to be the same for all sparklines and setting the vertical axis maximum value to be the same for all sparklines. 5
18 Save and close Exp22_Excel_Ch03_HOE_Jobs.xlsx. Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

Project 2:

Ch04_HOE - Toy Store

Project Description:
You work for the owner of Trinkets Toys & Games LLC. All merchandise is categorized into one of five departments for inventory records and sales. Along with the owner, there are three sales representatives. The sales system tracks which sales representative processed each transaction.
The business has grown rapidly and you want to analyze the sales data to increase future profits.
You downloaded June 2024 data from the sales system into an Excel workbook. Because the dataset is large, you will convert the data into a table, sort, filter, and utilize conditional formatting to complete your analysis.

Steps to Perform:

Step Instructions Points Possible
1 Start Excel. Download and open the file named Exp22_Excel_Ch04_HOE_ToyStore.xlsx. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename. 0
2 You would like to set page breaks on the June Totals worksheet to allow the document to print without splitting transactions dates.

Modify the existing page breaks to ensure the 6/13 and 6/24 transaction dates print on the same page. 3
3 Create a copy of the June Totals worksheet and name it June 1st Totals. 5
4 Return to the June Totals worksheet. When printed you would like the titles to be preserved.

Set the titles in row 5 and columns A:B to repeat when printed. Additionally set the print order to print over then down. 3
5 You would like to convert the dataset to a table in order to add aggregation, structured references, and table style.

Convert the range A5:K110 to a table. Be sure to include column labels. Name the table Totals and apply the table style Light Yellow, Table Style Light 19. 8
6 You don't need the Sales_First column. To reduce the size of the dataset you will remove the column.

Delete the Sales_First column from the table. 3
7 You need to document the rebate information and total purchase price. To do so you will add two new columns to the data.

Type Rebate in cell K5 and Owed in cell L5. Note, please ensure that there are no spaces after the content entered in K5 or L5. Set the width of columns I:J to autofit. 2
8 You notice you are missing records 2024-068 and 2024-105. You will manually add the records back to the table.

Insert a row in the table at row 73 and row 112. Enter the following records.
Row 73 - 2024-068, 6/22/2024, Shah, Collectibles, 1014, Mattel, Store Credit, Standard, 4, $16.99

Row 112 - 2024-105, 6/30/2024, McGowan, Action Figures, 1015, Mattel, Store Credit, Promotion, 1, $13.49
2
9 You notice there are duplicate values in the table that need to be removed.

Remove all duplicate values from the Totals table. 3
10 To calculate rebate amount you will create an IF function with structured references in column K.

Enter an IF statement in cell K6 to determine the customers rebate. If the value in cell H6 = Promotion the customer receives a 10% rebate on the total purchase (Purchase Price * Quantity*Rebate) if they are not eligible the function should return 0. Be sure to use the appropriate structured references and then use the fill handle to copy the function down completing the column. You must use the semi-selection process to add the structured references to the formula. 10
11 To calculate the total owed you will create a formula in column L using structured references.

Enter a formula using structured references in cell L6 to calculate the total owed. The total owed is the purchase price * quantity - rebate.

You must use the semi-selection process to add the structured references to the formula. 10
12 You would like to focus a portion of the report on June sales.

Add a total row to the existing table and set the Rebate and Quantity subtotals to Sum. 4
13 Sort the June Totals worksheet by Pay_Type A to Z, then by Trans_Type A to Z, and Owed largest to smallest. For the last level of the sort add a custom list for the department column. The list should use the following order Electronics, Collectibles, Infants, Action Figures, and Board Games. 6
14 Apply a filter to the table to only display only electronics department sales from sales rep Radomanski. 10
15 Apply a filter to the table to only display transaction amounts of $300 or more. 6
16 Apply a filter to the table to only display transaction dates on or after 6/16/2024 and on or before 6/30/2024.

Mac users: Select the Between Date Filter. In the Date dialog box, to the right of the After box, enter 06/15/2024 and to the right of the Before box, enter 07/01/2024. 0
17 You would like to use conditional formatting to highlight several key performance indicators in the June Individual worksheet.

Make the June Individual worksheet active. Create a new conditional formatting rule to highlight the name Rodriguez in column C with Green Fill with Dark Green Text. 6
18 Create a new conditional formatting rule to highlight the top 3 sales amounts in column L with light red fill and dark red text. 5
19 Add Blue Data Bars conditional formatting to column K. 4
20 Create a conditional formatting rule that highlights any transaction in column A that is completed by the sales rep Rodriguez with a value over $500. Ensure the formatting applies Bold font with Orange Accent 2 background color. 6
21 Filter column A based on color. 4

Project Description:
You are an assistant manager at Premiere Movie Source, an online company that enables customers to download movies for a fee. You need to track movie download sales by genre. You gathered the data for April 2024 and organized it in an Excel workbook. You are ready to create charts to help represent the data so that you can make a presentation to your manager later this week.

Steps to Perform:

Step Instructions Points Possible
1 Start Excel. Download and open the file named Exp22_Excel_Ch03_CumulativeAssessment_Movies.xlsx. Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the filename. 0
2 You want to create a pie chart to show the percentage each category contributes to the monthly movie downloads.

Select the ranges A5:A10 and F5:F10. Create a pie chart and move it to a chart sheet named April Pie Chart. 6
3 The chart needs a descriptive title that is easy to read.

Type April 2024 Downloads by Genre as the chart title, apply bold, 18 pt font size, and Black, Text 1 font color. 5
4 Percentage and category data labels will provide identification information for the pie chart.

Add data labels in the Inside End position. Select the Category Name and Percentage labels. Remove Value data labels and the legend. Apply 14 pt font size and Black, Text 1 font color to the data labels. 5
5 You want to focus on the comedy movies by exploding it and changing its fill color.

Explode the Comedy slice by 7% and apply Dark Red fill color.

4
6 A best practice is to include Alt Text for accessibility compliance.

Add Alt Text: The pie chart shows percentage of downloads by genre for April 2024. (including the period) 2
7 Next you want to create a combo chart to depict the monthly totals and percentages by category.

Display the Data sheet, select the ranges A4:A10 and F4:G10, and then create a Clustered Column - Line on Secondary Axis combo chart. 4
8 You want to position the chart below the data source.

Cut the chart and paste it in cell A13. Change the height to 3.5" and the width to 6". 5
9 Change the combo chart title to April 2024 Downloads. Apply Black, Text 1 font color to the chart title. 3
10 Axis titles will help distinguish the number and percentage of downloads.

Add a primary value axis title and type Number of Downloads. Add a secondary value axis title and type Percentage of Monthly Downloads. Apply Black, Text 1 font color to both value axis titles. 6
11 Now that you added an axis title for each vertical axis, you can remove the legend and format the secondary value axis to display whole percentages.

Remove the legend for the combo chart. Display 0 decimal places for the secondary value axis.

3
12 You want to add some color to the plot area for the combo chart.

Apply Light Gradient - Accent 1 gradient fill color for the plot area. 5
13 A best practice is to include Alt Text for accessibility compliance.

Add Alt Text: The combo chart shows the number and percentage of downloads. (including the period). 4
14 To provide a visual summary of the weekly totals for each genre, you will insert sparklines.

Select the range B5:E11. Insert Line sparklines in the range H5:H11. Apply Black, Sparkline Style Dark #4.
10
15 Displaying the markers helps identify the specific points on the sparklines. You will also change the high point to a different color to stand out.

Show the high point and markers for the sparklines. Change the high point marker color to Red.
5
16 Your last major task is to create a bar chart for weekly downloads.

Select the range A4:E10. Create a stacked bar chart. Move the chart to new chart sheet. Type
Weekly Downloads for the sheet name. Apply Style 8 chart style. 14
17 Add a chart title above the bar chart and type April 2024 Weekly Downloads by Genre. 4
18 Increasing the font size will make the chart elements easier to read.

Apply 11 pt font size to the category axis, value axis, and the legend for the bar chart. 6
19 Because the largest value is less than 9,000, you can reduce the maximum bound in the chart. In addition, you want to display the category labels in the same order that they are in the worksheet.

Change the maximum bounds for the value axis to 9000 and set the Major Units to 500 for the bar chart. Use the Axis Options to format the category axis so that the category labels are in reverse order in the bar chart. 5
20 Although the bar chart displays major gridlines, minor gridlines could improve the appearance.

Add primary minor vertical gridlines to the bar chart. 0
21 A best practice is to include Alt Text for accessibility compliance for the bar chart.

Add Alt Text: The stacked bar chart shows downloads by each week for each genre. (including the period). 4
