SUMMARIZING YOUR DATA WITH PIVOTTABLES
* GETTING STARTED
· Open the file NP_EX19_7a_FirstLastName_1.xlsx,
available for download from the SAM website.
· Save the file as NP_EX19_7a_FirstLastName_2.xlsx
by changing the “1” to a “2”.
o If you do not see the .xlsx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it. The
program will add the file extension for you automatically.
· With the file NP_EX19_7a_FirstLastName_2.xlsx
still open, ensure that your first and last name is displayed in cell B6 of the
Documentation sheet.
o If cell B6 does not display your name, delete
the file and download a new copy from the SAM website.
PROJECT STEPS
1. Lael Masterson works in the Student Activities
Office at Valerian State College in Illinois. Lael has started compiling
information on students who are interested in helping run student organizations
at Valerian State, and she needs your help completing the workbook.
Switch to the Student Representatives
worksheet. In cell E2, enter a formula using the HLOOKUP function as follows to determine a student's potential base
hourly rate (which is based on the number of years of post-secondary
education):
a. Use a structured reference to look up the value
in the Post-Secondary Years column. Retrieve the value in the 2nd row of the table in the range P13:U14, using an absolute reference.
Because base hourly rate is tiered based on the number of years of education,
find an approximate match.
b. Fill the formula into the range E3:E31, if
necessary.
2. Student organizations sometimes require
transportation for off-campus activities, and school policy requires students
to be over 23 years old to serve as transport.
Lael wants to determine how many of the active students will be eligible to
transport other group members. In cell J2, enter a formula using the IF function as follows to determine if
Kay Colbert can serve as authorized transport:
a. The function should use a reference to the Age
column to determine if the student's age is greater than 23, and should return the text Yes if true and No if
false.
b. Fill the formula into the range J3:J31, if
necessary.
3. To be eligible for the leadership training
program offered by the office, a student must have at least 2 years of
post-secondary education or have gone through the organization finance
training.
In cell K2 enter a formula using the IF
and OR functions as follows to
determine if Kay Colbert can join the leadership training program:
a. The IF function should determine if the
student's Post-Secondary Years is greater
than or equal to 2 OR if the student's finance certified status is "Yes", returning the text Yes if a student meets one or both of
those criteria or the text No if a
student meets neither of those criteria.
b. Fill the formula into the range K3:K31, if necessary.
