Please read the following carefully and then answer the below 8 questions.
Every part fitted to a vehicle needs to have a part number to enable correct part ordering (amongst many other important reasons).
Table 1 below contains data relating to 10 part numbers. These part numbers are allocated to different variants of car seat.
Important Notes:
- Questions 1-5 will require formulas as answers. These formulas should be created in the first row and dragged down to all rows. ie.must be the same generic formula in each row
- Questions 6-8 will require text answers only. No formulas or functions required.
- To be fair to people with varying Excel backgrounds, you're only allowed to use the functions listed in the 'Definitions & Functions' sheet
Questions
Question 1 Create a formula in column <E> that extracts the PREFIX only from column A
Question 2 Create a formula in column <F> that extracts the BASE only from column A
Question 3 Create a formula in column <G> that extracts the SUFFIX only from column A
The Vehicle Seat part numbers are defined as LHS or RHS. This information is shown within the Description in column <B>.
Question 5
Create a formula in column <I> that extracts the LHS or RHS text only.
Using only the information in columns <B> & <C>, confirm in column <J> whether each seat is a DRIVER or PASSENGER seat.
Question 6
(Note, no formulas required for this question)
The string of MINOR FEATURE CODES shown in column <D> helps to define the specifc usage of the relevant part number.
If the string contains the MINOR FEATURE CODE [CZQ**] eg. CZQBD, CZQBE,CZQBH, CZQBM or CZQBU, then the part number is a driver seat
Question 7
If the string contains the MINOR FEATURE CODE [CZR**] eg. CZRBC, CZRBE, CZRBL, CZRBT or CZRBV, then the part number is a passenger seat
One Seat part number has a clear data error in Table 1. Highlight which part this is, in the appropriate cell in column <K>.
FIND FIND(find_text,within_text,start_num)
SEARCH SEARCH(find_text,within_text,start_num)
TRIM TRIM(text)
Useful Definitions
A part number is used to identify all vehicle parts. It consists of 3 elements: Prefix,
Base & Suffix.
The format of the part number is always: "Prefix-Base-Suffix"
Part Number
The Prefix is always 4 digits
The Base is always 7 digits
The Suffix is always 3 or 4 digits
The code "DRIVE" indicates whether the part number is used on LHD or RHD vehicles.
DRIVE DRIVE code "Q" = LHD
DRIVE code "P" = RHD
A minor feature code is a 5 digit code. This code defines a specific feature on a
vehicle.
Minor Feature Code
Multiple minor feature codes can be combined into a string to form a specific vehicle
usage for the relevant part
