Create a script that loops through all the stocks for one year and outputs the following information:

•             The ticker symbol

•             Yearly change from the opening price at the beginning of a given year to the closing price at the end of that year.

•             The percentage change from the opening price at the beginning of a given year to the closing price at the end of that year.

•             The total stock volume of the stock. The result should match the following image:

 

•             Add functionality to your script to return the stock with the "Greatest % increase", "Greatest % decrease", and "Greatest total volume". The solution should match the following image:

 

•             Make the appropriate adjustments to your VBA script to enable it to run on every worksheet (that is, every year) at once.

NOTE

Make sure to use conditional formatting that will highlight positive change in green and negative change in red.

Other Considerations

•             Use the sheet alphabetical_testing.xlsx while developing your code. This dataset is smaller and will allow you to test faster. Your code should run on this file in under 3 to 5 minutes.

•             Make sure that the script acts the same on every sheet. The joy of VBA is that it takes the tediousness out of repetitive tasks with the click of a button.

Requirements

Retrieval of Data (20 points)

•             The script loops through one year of stock data and reads/ stores all of the following values from each row:

o             ticker symbol (5 points)

o             volume of stock (5 points)

o             open price (5 points)

o             close price (5 points)

Column Creation (10 points)

•             On the same worksheet as the raw data, or on a new worksheet all columns were correctly created for:

o             ticker symbol (2.5 points)

o             total stock volume (2.5 points)

o             yearly change ($) (2.5 points)

o             percent change (2.5 points)

Conditional Formatting (20 points)

•             Conditional formatting is applied correctly and appropriately to the yearly change column (10 points)

•             Conditional formatting is applied correctly and appropriately to the percent change column (10 points)

Calculated Values (15 points)

•             All three of the following values are calculated correctly and displayed in the output:

o             Greatest % Increase (5 points)

o             Greatest % Decrease (5 points)

o             Greatest Total Volume (5 points)

Looping Across Worksheet (20 points)

•             The VBA script can run on all sheets successfully.
