Example: MP2_AndreAndersen.xlsx

Go to the Budgetworksheet. Unfreezethe panes since Liangdoes not need to display those rows as she scrolls the worksheet.

In cell K2, enter a formula using the NOWfunction to display today’s date. Apply the Short Datenumber format to display only the date in the cell.

Format the worksheet title as follows to use a consistent design throughout the workbook:

Fill cell C2with the Teal, Accent 6, Lighter 40% shading color.

Change the font color toWhite, Background 1.

Mergeand center the contents of cell C2across the range C2:I2.

Use AutoFitto resize row 2 to its best fit.

Format the hourly rate data as follows to suit the design of the worksheet and make the data easier to understand:

Italicizethe contents of cell L2to match the formatting in cell J2.

Apply the Currency numberformat to cell M2to clarify that it contains a dollar amount.

Format the data in cell B4 as follows to display all of the text:

Merge the cells in the range B4:B14.

Rotatethe text up in the merged cell so that the text reads from bottom to top.

Middle-align and center the text.

Removethe border from the merged cell.

Resizecolumn B to a width of 6.00.

Format the data inrow 4 as follows to show that it contains column headings:

Change “Description” to use Code Descriptionas the complete column heading.

Apply the Accent 6 cell style to the range C4:I4.

Use AutoFitto resize column Eto its best fit.

In column F, Liangwants to include the actual dollar amount of the work completed. Enter this information as follows:

In cell F5, enter a formula without using a function that multiplies the completed hours (cell E5) by the hourly rate (cell M2) to determine the dollar amount charged for blueprint drafting. Include an absolute reference to cell M2in the formula.

Use the Fill Handleto fill the range F6:F14 with the formula in cell F5to include the charges for the other work.

Format the range F6:F14using the Comma Styleformat and no decimal places to match the formatting in column G.

Liangneeds to show how much of the estimate remains after the completed work. Provide this information as follows:

In cell H5, enter a formula without using a function that subtracts the completed amount billed (cell F5) from the estimated amount (cell G5) to determine the remaining amount of the estimate for blueprint drafting.

Use the Fill Handleto fill the range H6:H14 with the formula in cell H5to include the remaining amount for the other work.

Format the range H6:H14 using the Comma Style format and no decimal places to match the formatting in column G.

Liang also wants to show the remaining amount as a percentage of the completed amount. Enter this information as follows:

In cell I5, enter a formula that divides the remaining dollar amount (cell H5) by the estimated dollar amount (cell G5).

Copy the formula in cell I5 to the range I6:I15, pasting only the formula and number formatting to display the remaining amount as a percentage of the actual amount for the other work and the total.

Calculate the totals as follows:

In cell E15, enter a formula using the SUMfunction to total the actual hours (rangeE5:E14).

Use the Fill Handleto fill the range F15:H15 with the formula in cell E15.

Apply the Accounting number format with no decimal places to the range F15:H15.

Liang also wants to identify the work for which Forward Construction has billed more than the full estimate amount.

In the range I5:I14, use conditional formatting Highlight Cellsrules to format values less than 1% (0.01) in Light Red Fill with Dark Red Text.

Liang imported data about the project team working on the Office Plaza Constructionproject and stored the data on a separate worksheet, but wants to include the data in the Budgetworksheet. Copy and paste the data as follows:

Go to the Project Team worksheet and copy the data in the range B2:G13.

Return to the Budgetworksheet. Paste the data in cell K3, keeping the source formatting when you paste it.

Liang needs to list the position for each team member. Those with five or more years of experience have a Senior position. Otherwise, they have Support position. List this information as follows:

In cell O5on the Budgetworksheet, enter a formula that uses the IF functionto test whether the number of years of experience (cell N5) is greater than or equal to 5.

If the team member has five or more years of experience, display “Senior” in cell O5.

If the team member has less than five years of experience, display “Support” in cell O5.

Copy the formula in cell O5 to the range O6:O14, pasting the formula only.

Use AutoFitto resize column O to its best fit.

Liang wants to include summary statistics about the project and the team members. Include this information as follows:

In cell E17, enter a formula that uses the AVERAGEfunction to average the number of years of experience (range N5:N14).

Make the Linechart in the rangeC19:I33 easier to interpret as follows:

Change the chart type to a Clustered Column chart.

Enter Task Progress as the chart title.

Add a primary vertical axis title to the chart, entering Hoursas the axis title text.

Add data labels to the Outside End of each column.

Delete row 35since Liang has adjusted the chart.

Go to the Schedule worksheet. Rename the Schedule worksheet tab to Work Schedule to use a more descriptive name.

Each type of work starts on a different date because the types depend on each other. Enter the starting dates for the remaining work as follows:

In cell D6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 1 day to the value in cell C6.

In cell E6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 2 days from the value in cell C6.

In cell F6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 3 daysto the value in cell C6.

In cell G6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 3 days to the value in cell C6.

Copy the formulas for inspections to the rest of the schedule as follows:

Copy the formula in cell D6 to the range D7:D8.

Copy the formula in cell E6to the range E7:E8.

Copy the formula in cell F6to the range F7:F8.

Copy the formula in cell G6 to the range G7:G8.

In cell C9, enter a formula that uses the MINfunction to find the earliest date in the project schedule (range C6:G8).

In cell C10, enter a formula that uses the MAXfunction to find the latest date in the project schedule (range C6:G8).
