PROJECT STEPS
1.
Charlie is a salesman at Pick Up Motors car dealership. He is performing a
detailed analysis of his sales for the first half of 2018, including representing his
sales and commissions with graphs.
Switch to the
2018
Jan-Jun Sales
worksheet, and then remove the panes from
the worksheet. (
Hint
: Deselect the Split option from the View tab.)
2.
Freeze rows 1 and 2. (
Hint:
Select cell A3 before freezing panes.)
3.
Change the width of column A to
31.00
. (
Hint
: Do not use AutoFit.)
4.
Select the range B4:D4 and, using the Fill Handle, fill the range E4:G4 with
consecutive months.
5.
In cell H5, create a
Column Sparkline
based on the data in the range
B5:G5
.
Copy the Sparkline you created in cell H5 to the range H6:H9.
6.
Using the Format Painter, copy the formatting from the range G5:G9 to the
range H5:H9.
7.
Copy the contents of the range B4:G4 to the range B12:G12.
8.
Apply the
Percentage
number format with
zero
decimal places to the range
B13:G13 and the nonadjacent cell B33.
9.
Select the merged range A15:A27, and then rotate the cell contents to
90
degrees
(
Hint
: The text should read from bottom to top).
10.
In the stacked column chart (with the title Monthly Sales per Vehicle Type), add
the primary horizontal axis title
Month
and the primary vertical axis title
Sales
Amount
.

11.
In the stacked column chart (with the title Monthly Sales per Vehicle Type),
change the number format of the vertical axis to
Accounting
style with
zero
decimal places.
12.
In the 3-D pie chart (titled Monthly Sales Contribution to Six-Month Sales Total)
change the chart style to
Style 1
(1
st
column, 1
st
row of the Chart Styles
palette).
13.
Add data labels to the 3-D pie chart using the
Outside End
style.
14.
Charlie wants to calculate his gross monthly sales commissions. The rule is that
he receives a commission of 2.5% of his total monthly sales if he sold more than
$400,000 worth of vehicles. Otherwise, he only gets 1.5% of his total monthly
sales amount.
In cell B31, create a formula using the
IF
function to check whether the value of
cell
B9
is
greater than
400000
.
a.
If this condition is true, the function should multiply cell
B9
by
2.5%
to
determine Charlie’s commission. (
Hint
: For the if true value, use
B9*0.025
.)
b.
If this condition is false, the function should multiply the value in cell
B9
by
1.5%
to determine Charlie’s commission. (
Hint
: For the if false value,
use
B9*0.015
.)
Copy the formula in B31 to the range C31:G31.
15.
After deductions, Charlie’s net monthly commission is only 85% of his gross
monthly commission.
In cell B32, create a formula that multiplies the value of cell
B31
(Charlie’s
gross monthly commission) by the value of cell
B33
(Charlie’s net commission
percentage). Use an
absolute
reference to cell B33 (because the net
commission percentage won’t change) and a
relative
reference to cell B31
.
Copy the formula in cell B32 to the range C32:G32.
16.
In the range H31:H32, update the Line Sparklines as described below:
a.
Change the Sparkline type to
Column
.
b.
Change the Sparkline style to
Sparkline Style Dark #4
(4th column, 5th
row of the Sparkline Styles palette
[Mac Hint: 7
th
column, 4
th
row]
).
17.
In the range A31:A32,
increase the indent of the cell contents
once
.
18.
Charlie’s goal is to make a net commission of $60,000 for the second half of
2018 (July through December), using the estimate that his gross commission
rate will be an average of 2% (cell B37) across the second half of the year.
Select cell B39, and then use
Goal Seek
to determine what value of cell
B36
(Estimated 6 Month Sales Total)
is necessary to set the value of cell
B39
to
60000
.
Leave the result of the Goal Seek analysis as the new value of cell B36.
19.
In cell B40, insert a formula using the
NOW
function to enter the system current
date into the cell, and then apply the
Short Date
number format (e.g.,
3/15/2019).
20.
Use the Recommended Charts tool to create a
Clustered Column
chart based
on the range
A30:G32
with the following options:

Module 3: SAM Project 1a
a.
Move the chart to its own chart sheet, and then enter
Commissions
2018
as the name of the new chart sheet. If necessary, reposition the
worksheet so it is located before the
2018 Jan-Jun Sales
worksheet.
b.
Change the chart title to
Sales Commissions - January to June 2018
.
c.
In the clustered column chart add the primary horizontal axis title
Month
and the primary vertical axis title
Commission
.
Your workbook should look like the Final Figures on the following pages. (The value in cell
B36 generated by the Goal Seek analysis has been intentionally blurred in Final Figure 1.)
Save your changes, close the workbook, and then exit Excel. Follow the directions on the
SAM website to submit your completed project.
