4 COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY SPREADSHEET FORMAT CELLS SCAVENGER HUNT Check out the many features available in Format Cells Getting Ready... q Open Microsoft Excel. Getting Busy... q Explore the FORMAT CELLS dialog box. Write down the pathways to the various features below. As you describe the pathway, list the TAB first, then describe the EDIT FIELD, CHECK BOX, or other location. Border surrounding section of cells Larger size of characters Center a title over a selected group of cells Add a diagonal background design Show numbers as currency with two decimal places and a $ sign Show text in vertical direction Use a Helvetica style typeface Apply light gray shading to a cell or group of cells. Show numbers (values) as a percentage with a % sign. Align data to right side of cell Show numbers (values) with a comma to separate the groups of thousands. Use word-wrap inside a cell

5 SPREADSHEET FORMULAS As a spreadsheet designer, you will need consider its purpose and then determine how to set up the formulas. Consider each scenario below. Write the correct formula in the empty cell beneath. Please include all necessary symbols = * / + - and also use ( ) to control the order of operations if needed. 1. Joseph receives time-and-a-half for overtime hours. Cell B6 contains his hourly rate. What would be the formula to calculate his overtime-hourly rate of pay? 2. The calculation for Amy s regular pay for the week is contained in Cell B7. The calculation for Amy s overtime pay is contained in cell B8. What would be the formula for this week s total pay? 3. Cell C3 holds the amount of money Hilda has earned during the current pay period (gross pay). Cell D3 holds the amount of state tax to be withheld from Hilda s gross pay. Cell E3 shows federal tax to be withheld. Cell F3 shows old age tax to be withheld. Cell G3 shows health insurance payment to be withheld. What would be the formula for Hilda s net pay? 4. 6% of Daniel s gross pay is to be withheld by the State of Utah for taxes. Cell C3 contains his gross pay. What would be the formula to calculate the amount of state tax to withhold? 5. The Utah Food Bank keeps track of donations made by scout troops during their yearly Scouting for Food drives. Troops who collect more than the year before are given a special commendation. Cell A7 shows the number of food items collected last year. Cell B7 shows the number of food items collected this year. What would be the formula to calculate the change? 6. As a newspaper route manager, Jessica is trying to plan ahead. She wants to calculate which months in the last one-year cycle had the highest percent of absences by her carriers so she can be prepared with substitutes. Cell F2 shows the total absences for March. The total absences for the year were 89 days. Show a formula that calculates the percent absent in the month of March. 7. Highland High is assigned its number of faculty members based on student enrollment. Each time the enrollment increases or decreases by 30 students, a faculty member is gained or lost. Cell C5 shows the total enrollment for this year. Cell C6 shows the projected enrollment for next year. Show a formula that calculates the change between this year and the coming year so decisions about faculty assignments can be made. 8. Ms. Zavala, the school district comptroller, is making a year-end report to the school board about costs of running the district. Cell B75 shows the total costs for staffing. Cell C75 shows the total building costs. Show a formula that calculates the total for staffing and building costs.
