PROJECT STEP
1. Kavanna Serbagi is an assistant manager at the Gentle Movers corporate office.
Kavanna is summarizing two years of revenue data from her office locations.
Since each office supports a different area of the country, Kavanna will need to
coordinate and consolidate revenue data on multiple worksheets.

Break the external link that exists in the worksheet, so that the formulas in
cells B4, B5, B6, and B7 of the Branch Information worksheet are replaced with
static values. Then switch to the Branch Information worksheet.

2. Kavanna wants to update the links in her workbook, so that she’ll be able to
quickly pull up the Branch pricing plans for the 2019-2020 season.

In cell B9, create a hyperlink to the Gentle Movers Price listing for 2020 as
described below:

a. The hyperlink should link to the

Support_NP_EX16_6b_Prices_2020.docx file, available on the SAM
website.

b. The hyperlink should use 2020 Rental Prices as the text to display.

c. The hyperlink should use Click here to view the Rental Price listing
for 2020. as the ScreenTip text.

B11:E11. Using the AutoSum button, enter a formula using the SUM function
that totals the revenue for each quarter of the year (shown in the range
B5:E10). Ungroup the worksheets and then check to confirm that the
formatting and formulas from steps 4-6 are present in all three worksheets.

7. Kavanna wants to create a copy of the formatted DC worksheet to use for the
Chicago location’s revenue data.
