GETTING STARTED

Open the file IL_EX16_1a_FirstLastName_1.xlsx, available for download from the

SAM website.
Save the file as IL_EX16_1a_FirstLastName_2.xlsx by changing the “1” to a “2”.
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 IL_EX16_1a_FirstLastName_2.xlsx still open, ensure that your
first and last name is displayed in cell B6 of the Documentation sheet.
If cell B6 does not display your name, delete the file and download a
new copy from the SAM website.

PROJECT STEPS

Katherine owns two fast food restaurants, and she plans to invest in the one
that is more profitable. Her Excel worksheet shows detailed financial information
for each location.

Select the Profit Analysis worksheet. Add a header to the worksheet by entering the
text Katherine's Restaurants Analysis into the center section of the header.

Select the entire page by clicking the button at the intersection of the rows and
column headers (one with a triangle in it) then go to the page layout tab and click
page setup (the icon with a dog-eared paper and printer), then select
header/footer, and under header click “custom header” and enter the desired text
into the box labeled “center section”

The header will show if you go to the “view” tab and select “page layout” button
and you’ll see the header you made. Click the “normal” button to switch back to the
orginal view.

Click on any cell and switch back to Normal view.

Enter the text Katherine's Restaurants in cell A1.

Enter the text Profit Analysis in cell A2.
In cell A3, change the text “2015” to 2018 so that the cell contains the text
“Katherine's Pizza 2018-2020 Profit”.
In cell D10, enter the value 38900.
Use the Fill Handle to fill the range E6:E10 with the formula in cell E5.

Select the cell that contains the orginal formula, then drag down until all the
desired cells in the range are highlighted. The resulting numbers will be from from
the new formula created in the once empty boxes.

In cell B11, enter a formula that uses the SUM function to total the range
B5:B10. Use the Fill Handle to fill the range C11:E11 with the formula you created
in cell B11.

Same process as above.

In cell A13, insert the text 2018-2020 Profit after the word “Burgers” so that
the cell contains the text “Katherine's Sandwiches and Burgers 2018-2020 Profit”.
Enter the information shown in Table 1 below into the range B20:D20.

Select the values only on theoriginal table, then click the first cell in the
desired range destination, right click and then select “paste special”, and select
unicode text.

Katherine wants to determine the total profit from each type of sandwich or
burger sold between 2018 and 2020. In cell E15, enter a formula that uses the SUM
function to total the values in the range B15:D15.

Use the same process from step 6 and 7

Use the Fill Handle to fill the range E16:E20 with the formula in cell E15.

In cell B21, enter a formula that uses the SUM function to total the range
B15:B20. Use the Fill Handle to fill the range C21:E21 with the formula in cell B21

same as 6 and 7.

Katherine wants to know the difference in total profits between her two
restaurants.

In cell B25, enter a formula that subtracts the value in cell B21 from the value in
cell B11. Use the Fill Handle to fill the range C25:E25 with the formula in cell
B25.

Hide the gridlines for the Profit Analysis worksheet.

Go to the page layout tab, go to the section, go to “gridlines” on the right hand
side of the toolbar, and uncheck the box labeled “view”

Change the orientation of the worksheet to Landscape.

Your workbook should look like the Final Figure on the following page. Save your
changes, close the workbook, then exit Excel. Follow the directions on the SAM
website to submit your completed project.
