Spreadsheet requirements: 1. For good spreadsheet design, it is very important that you have completely separate data and solution/report areas. A good spreadsheet solution format is to key in the question in a structure which allows the solution to be completely formula driven. There should be no data in the report/solution area. 2. Name the worksheet tag(s) at the bottom of the Excel screen with the question number. Use a separate worksheet for each question that needs to be completed in Excel. See examples in the 'Spreadsheet Advice' PDF in the 'Resources' folder on Interact. 3. Where appropriate, use the 'IF function' to provide built in checks of balances, net profit/net loss etc. 4. We have provided spreadsheet examples to guide you in the 'Spreadsheet Advice' PDF document in Interact. Also consider using the spreadsheet templates available with your text and other online spreadsheet advice, but note that the text templates do not comply with all of the assignment spreadsheet requirements above.

Paste a copy of the 'normal' view and 'formula' view of each spreadsheet in your Word file, displaying row and column headings. Thus, your Word file will provide a complete answer to every question. The separate Excel file will provide a clear demonstration of correct spreadsheet structures. The pasted formula view may need to have adjusted column widths to display formulas correctly. Use portrait orientation wherever possible.
