Unit 3 Test (150225) KEY 4
Office 2013 – myitlab:grader – Instructions Excel Project
EXP E Capstone 1 - European Excursions 2.5

11. Project Description:
You work for a travel company that specializes in arranging
travel accommodations for student tours and vacations in
exciting destinations such as Canada, Rome, and the Czech
Republic. You created a workbook to store agent names, student
IDs, and tour codes. The workbook also contains a work- sheet
to store lookup tables. You will complete the workbook for your
manager’s approval. You will insert formulas and a variety of
functions, convert data to a table, sort and filter the table, and
prepare a chart.
Instructions:
For the purpose of grading the project you are required to
perform the following tasks:
Step Instructions Points Possible
1 Start Excel. Open exploring_ecap_grader_h1_Trips.xlsx
and save the workbook as e00a1Trips_LastFirst. Make sure the
Lookup Tables sheet is active. 0.000
2 Assign the range name rates to the base price and
commission range. Assign the range name tours to the data for
the package, tour description, departure, and base cost. 2.000
3 Click cell D13 on the Data sheet and insert a VLOOKUP
function that looks up the tour code, compares it to the tours
table, and returns the description. Copy the function down
through cell D22. 4.000
4 Click cell E13 and insert a lookup function that looks up
the tour code, compares it to the tours table, and returns the
departure date. Copy the function down through cell E22.
4.000
5 Click cell F13 and insert a lookup function that looks up
the tour code, compares it to the tours table, and returns the
base cost of the trip. Copy the function down through cell F22.
4.000
6 In cell G13, insert a formula that adds taxes and fees to the
base cost of the trip (in cell F13) by using the percentage value
in the input area. Use a mixed reference to the cell containing

12. 20% in the input area above the data. Copy the formula down
through cell G22. 4.000
7 In cell H13, insert a PMT function to calculate the
payments for students who want to pay for their trips in three
installments. Use the interest rate and months in the input area
above the data. Use appropriate relative, mixed, and/or absolute
cell references in the formula. Make sure the result is a positive
value. Copy the function down through cell H22. 4.000
8 Click cell I13 and calculate the agent commission using
the base cost of the trip and a VLOOKUP function that returns
the commission rate based on the base cost of the trip using the
rates lookup table. The function should then calculate the
monetary value of the commission. Copy the function down
through cell I22. 4.000
9 Merge and center the main title on the first row over all
data columns on the Data sheet. Apply bold and 18 pt font size.
Merge and center the subtitle on the second row over all data
columns. 6.000
10 Apply Currency number format to the monetary values in
columns F, G, H, and I. Hide the Tour Code column. 4.000
11 Wrap text in the range F12:I12. Set the column widths for
these columns to 11, if necessary. Adjust the row height, if
necessary. Freeze the panes so that the row of column labels
does not scroll offscreen. 4.000
12 Apply the Light Red Fill with Dark Red Text conditional
formatting to values in the Total Cost with Taxes column when
the values are above average. 4.000
13 Insert a function to calculate the total for all trips
(including taxes) in cell G5, the average trip cost in cell G6,
and the median trip cost in cell G7. 4.000
14 Insert a function to calculate the lowest trip cost in cell G8
and the highest trip cost in cell G9. Click cell G10 and enter a
function to display today's date. 6.000
15 Copy the Data sheet and place the copied sheet before the
Summary sheet. Remove the conditional formatting rule on the
Data (2) sheet. 4.000

13. 16 Convert the data range in the Data (2) sheet to a table.
Apply the Table Style Medium 21 style to the table. 4.000
17 Sort the table by departure date from oldest to newest and
then alphabetically by trip description. Apply a filter to display
trips arranged by agents Avery and Ross only. 4.000
18 Display a total row. Select a function that calculates totals
for all monetary columns.3.000
19 Create Line sparklines in column H in the Summary sheet
to display six-month trends for each agent. Show the high point
in each sparkline. Apply the SparkLine Style Accent 1, Darker
50% style. If needed, apply the Blue, Accent 1 high point
marker color. 6.000
20 Insert an IF function in column I that displays a $500
bonus if an agent’s average sales are greater than the average of
all sales for the six months. Use two nested AVERAGE
functions in the logical_test argument of the IF function to
make the comparison. 5.000
21 Create a clustered column chart of the agents and their six-
month sales, using the chart type that displays the months on
the category axis. Move the chart to a new chart sheet named
Sales Chart. 6.000
22 Apply the Layout 1 chart layout. Type January-June 2016
Sales by Agent for the chart title. Apply the Style 14 chart
style. 6.000
23 Create a footer with the sheet tab code in the center, and
the file name code on the right side of each sheet. 4.000
24 Apply 0.2" left and right margins and scale to one page
(height and width) for the Data and Data (2) sheets. Select
Landscape orientation for the Data (2) sheet. 4.000
25 Save the workbook. Ensure that the worksheets are named
correctly and in the following order: Lookup Tables, Data, Data
(2), Sales Chart, and then Summary. Close the workbook and
exit Excel. Submit the workbook as directed. 0.000
