For this assignment, you will manipulate an Excel worksheet to organize and display data about sales totals throughout a year.

Download this Excel workbook. It already contains the data you need. Follow the directions, then submit your assignment. If you get stuck on a step, review this module and ask your classmates for help in the discussion forum.

  1. Open the workbook. Save it to the Rowan folder on your desktop as BA132_LastName_SalesData.xlsx, replacing “LastName” with your own last name. (Example: BA132_Hywater_SalesData) It is a good idea to save your work periodically.
  2. Format the data as a table with the name of the months and sales total as headers. You may use any table style you like.
    A Microsoft Excel sheet is open with content in cells A1 through B13. Cell A is representing months while cell B is representing total sales.
  3. Change the cell format so that all the sales totals display as currency with a dollar sign and two decimal places.
