Candy Store
When you finish this exercise you should
- Entered mixed, absolute and relative references in a computation.
- Worked with sums and calculated discounts.
For this exercise we will be creating an order form for a simple candy factory. I started with some data from Dylan's Candy Bar but changed the prices. This is not a standard form. It is designed for this exercise.
- Download this file and save it somewhere you can find it.
- Start excel and open the file you just saved.
- Format the data in the worksheet.
- Adjust column and row widths so that everything is visible.
- Make the labels bold
- Wrap column headings if needed.
- Format the percentages properly in B1:B3
- Format the prices in B6:B16
- Put borders under the column headings and above the totals.
- And anything else I missed to make it look like the picture below.
-
- Compute the discount price for each item.
- This should be based on the item price and the customer discount.
- The customer discount will change, so base it on the value in call B1
- Develop a single formula in C6 which can be copied to C7:C16
- I will look at the formula, it should have a mixed reference.
- DO NOT TYPE IN 11 different formulas.
- Compute the Extended price in E6:E16
- This is the discount price multiplied by the quantity.
- Compute the amount saved in F6:F16
- This is price * customer discount * quantity
- The customer discount will change, so base it on the value in call B1
- Develop a single formula in F6 which can be copied to F7:F16
- I will look at the formula, it should have a mixed reference.
- DO NOT TYPE IN 11 different formulas.
- Compute the tax in G6:G16
- This is Extended price * Tax
- The tax will change, so base it on the value in call B3
- Develop a single formula in G6 which can be copied to G7:G16
- I will look at the formula, it should have a mixed reference.
- DO NOT TYPE IN 11 different formulas.
- Calculate the total price n H6:H16
- This is the extended price plus the tax.
- Calculate the Commission in I6:I16
- This is Extended price * Salesperson Commission
- The commission will change, so base it on the value in call B2
- Develop a single formula in I6 which can be copied to I7:I16
- I will look at the formula, it should have a mixed reference.
- DO NOT TYPE IN 11 different formulas.
- In D17:I17 compute the sum of the column above
- Add a new tab.
- Call it multiplication table.
- In the new tab, build a multiplication table.
-
- Create the row and column labels with the fill handle.
- Create a single formula in b3 which you can copy to the entire range b3:k12
- This will involve mixed reference.
- Copy the Cell, highlight the range and paste.
- If it is not right, get help
- Save your work
- Submit your saved document to the Candy folder in the Assignment section of D2L for this class.
