New Perspectives Excel 2019 | Module 1: SAM Project 1b

City of New Monroe

Enter and update city data

GETTING STARTED

• Open the file NP_EX19_1b_FirstLastName_1.xlsx, available for download from the SAM website.
• Save the file as NP_EX19_1b_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 NP_EX19_1b_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

1. As a member of the Finance Committee for the City of New Monroe, you use Excel to maintain city data and summarize cash flow. Go to the Committees worksheet. Cut the contents of the range C2:C3 and paste them into the range B2:B3.
2. Adjust the width of column B using AutoFit.
3. Change the width of column F to 26.00.
4. Enter the values shown in Table 1 into the corresponding cells in the range B8:E8.

   Table 1: Data for the Range B8:E8

 

	B	C	D	E
8	Finance	Rachel Andreas	124,500	200,000

 

1. In cell F6, enter hannah.brickman@city.org as the first email address, select the range F6:F14, and then use the Flash Fill button to automatically enter the remaining email addresses. (Hint: You must use Flash Fill to receive credit for this step.)
2. Adjust the width of column G using AutoFit.
3. In cell C15, enter Totals to identify the values you will calculate in the range D15:E15.
4. In cell D15, create a formula using the SUM function to determine the total amount of grants received by the city by totaling the values in the range D6:D14. Copy the formula you created in cell D15 to cell E15 to determine the total budget amounts. [Mac Hint: The user may need to increase the column width to preview the result.]
5. In cell B17, enter Number of Committees to identify the value you will calculate in cell C17.
6. In cell C17, create a formula using the COUNT function to determine the number of committees by counting the values in the range D6:D14.
7. In cell B18, enter Average Grant to identify the value in cell C18.
8. Switch to the Cash Flow worksheet. Change the orientation of the Cash Flow worksheet to Landscape.
9. In cell B2, change the cell content to City of New Monroe (instead of just reading "City of").
10. Select the range B5:B9 and the nonadjacent cell C5, and then increase the font size of the cells to 12 point.
11. To better display the column headings, manually change the height of row 6 to 36.00. (Hint: Do not use AutoFit.)
12. In cell C9, enter a formula without using a function to determine the change in cash in week 1 by subtracting disbursements (cell C8) from receipts (cell C7). Copy the formula you created in cell C9 to the range D9:F9.
13. Select the range G7:G9, and then apply AutoSum to calculate the total receipts, disbursements, and change in cash for weeks 1 through 4.
14. Clear the contents of cell B11 because you edited the worksheet after February 1, 2021.
15. Apply the Wrap Text formatting to cell G6.
16. Adjust the Zoom level of the Cash Flow worksheet to 110% to make the contents easier to read.
17. You typically submit financial data to the auditor for verification. To create a placeholder worksheet for this data, insert a new worksheet in the workbook, rename the worksheet Auditing, and if necessary, move the new worksheet after the Cash Flow worksheet.

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