Exercise Excel 2-2: Soccer Budget
| What you will do: |
create a spreadsheet -
enter data
create formulas
format numbers
AutoSum |
Start with:
a blank worksheet
The City Soccer League has created a budget for their season. You will
put their figures on a spreadsheet and create formulas for totals and to
show whether the league went over the budget.
- Data Entry: Use the handwritten notes in the illustration
above to create a spreadsheet. Fill in titles starting with row 1,
labels, and data in the same order. Leave a blank row above Expenses,
below Insurance, one above Income, and one below Sponsorships.
- Sort: Sort the Expenses rows in alphabetical order.
(Don't just sort the words. Sort rows.)
- Resize columns: Widen the columns as necessary to show words
in the categories.
- Formula: Create a formula in cell D7 (in the
first data row- Balls- in the column Over/Under Budget) to subtract the Actual
amount in column C from the Budget amount in column B. If the league
spent more than planned, the answer will be a negative number. Copy this
formula to the other cells in this column that are on rows with
categories or totals. (Hint: Copy down the whole column and then delete
unneeded values.)
- AutoSum: Use AutoSum to calculate Totals for Expenses and
Income in both the Budget and Actual columns.
- Numbers: Format the numbers on the sheet as Currency:
range B7:D14, range B16:D16, range B19:D20, range B22:D22. Decrease
Decimals twice. Note that the negative numbers now are in parentheses.
- Edit: To explain the new parentheses for negative values, put
parentheses around the word Over in the column label: (Over)/Under.
Shorten the text in cell B6 to Budget.
- Header: Create a header with your name and the date on the
left, the file name and sheet name in the center and Exercise Excel 2-2
on the right.
- Prepare to Print: Use Page Setup to set the
table to print centered horizontally on the page but not
vertically. No gridlines or headings.. Spell Check. Print
Preview.
 Save
the workbook as soccer budget2.xls in the excel project2
folder on the Class disk.
 How to handle a full disk
 Print
- Select A1: D16 which is just the titles and Expenses rows.
- Print just the
selection.
- Chart: Select ranges A6:A14 and C6:C14 at the
same time. Use the Chart Wizard to create a pie chart of what was
spent. Use the default settings except for Data labels Show percent
and place the chart on Sheet 2. Title the chart "Actual". Drag
the chart to the upper left of the sheet.
- Chart Header: Create a header for Sheet2 just like in step
h.
- Prepare to Print Sheet2: Use Print Preview to check the
layout. If the chart takes up the whole page, it is selected. This is an
easy way to get a maximized chart on paper. But it can take a lot of
ink! Go back to Normal view and unselect the chart.
The chart size depends on the size of the window when you inserted it
on the sheet. You may want to enlarge the chart by selected it and
dragging one of the handles. You may need to change the Font Size
for the legend to show all of the items.
- Save. [soccer
budget2.xls]
- Print. Once the
printing is completed correctly, close the workbook.
