Summary
Create a Microsoft Excel workbook with four worksheets that
provides extensive use of Excel capabilities
including charting, and written analysis and recommendations in
support of a business enterprise.
A large rental car company has two metropolitan locations, one
at the airport and another centrally located in

downtown. It has been operating since 2015 and each location
summarizes its car rental revenue
quarterly. Both locations rent four classes of cars: economy,
premium, hybrid, SUV. Rental revenue is
maintained separately for the four classes of rental vehicles.
The data for this case resides in the file fall2018rentalcars.txt
and can be downloaded by clicking on the
Assignments tab, then on the data file name. It is a text file
(with the file type .txt).
Do not create your own data. You must use the data provided
and only the data provided.
Default Formatting. All labels, text, and numbers will be Arial
10, There will be $ and comma and
decimal point variations for numeric data, but Arial 10 will be
the default font and font size.

Requirement

Comments
1
Open Excel and save a blank workbook with the following
name:
a. “Student’s First InitialLast Name Excel Project 1”
Example: JSmith Excel Project 1.
b. Set Page Layout Orientation to Landscape.
Use Print Preview to
review how the first
worksheet would print.
2 Change the name of the worksheet to Analysis by.
3
In the Analysis by worksheet:
a. Beginning in Row 1, enter the four labels in column
A (one label per row) in the following order:
Name:, Class/Section:, Project:, Date Due:
b. Place a blank row between each label. Please note
the colon : after each label.

c. Align the labels to the right side in the cells
It may be necessary to adjust the column width so the four
labels are clearly visible within Column A (not extending into
Column B).
Format for column A:
• Arial 10 point
• Normal font
• Right-align all four
labels in the cells
Step
Requirement
Comments

In the Analysis by worksheet with all entries in column C:

a. Enter the appropriate values for your Name (in cell
C1), Class and Section, Project, Date across
from the appropriate label in column A.
b. Use the formatting in the Comments column (to the
right).
It may be necessary to adjust the column width so the four
labels are clearly visible within Column C (not extending
into Column D).
Format for column C:
• Arial 10 point
• Bold
• Left-align all four
values in the cells
5
a. Create new worksheets:
Data, Initial Analysis, and Profit Analysis
Upon completion, there should be Analysis by as
well as the three newly created worksheets.
b. Delete any other worksheets.
Note: The three new worksheets might not have Arial 10
point as the default type so it may be necessary to

change the font and point to Arial 10 for the new
worksheets.
6
If necessary, reorder the four worksheets so they are in the
following order: Analysis by, Data, Initial Analysis, Profit
Analysis.
7
After clicking on the blank cell A1 (to select it) in the Data
worksheet, import the text file fall2018rentalcars.txt into
the Data worksheet. The data should begin in Column A,
Row 1.
Though the intent is to import the text file into the Data
worksheet, sometimes when text data is imported into a
worksheet, a new worksheet is created. If this happens,
delete the blank Data worksheet, and then rename the new
worksheet which HAS the recently imported data as
“Data.” It may be necessary to change Revenue data to
Currency format ($ and comma (thousands separators))
with NO decimal points, and to change NumCars data to
number format, with NO decimal points, but with the
comma (thousands separator) because of the import
operation.
This may or may not occur, but in case it does it needs to
be corrected. Adjust all column widths so there is no data
or column header truncation.

Format:
all data (field names, data
text, and data numbers)
• Arial 10 point
• Normal font
The field names should
be in the top row of the
worksheet with the data
directly under it in rows.
This action may not be
necessary as this is part
of the Excel table creation
process. The data should
begin in column A.
Step
Requirement

Comments
8
In the Data worksheet:
a. Create an Excel table with the recently imported
data.
b. Pick a style with the styles group to format the table
(choose a style that shows banded rows, i.e., rows
that alternate between 2 colors).
c. The style should highlight the field names in the first
row.
d. Ensure NO blank cells are part of the specified data
range.
e. Ensure the table has headers.
f. Ensure that Header Row and Banded Rows are
selected in the Table Style Options Group Box, but
do NOT select a Total row.

Some adjustment may be
necessary to column
widths to ensure all field
names and all data are
readable (not truncated or
obscured).
9
In the Data worksheet:
a. Sort the entire table by Year (ascending)
b. Delete all 2017 rows and data. There should be one row
for titles and sixty-four rows of data after the 2017 data is
deleted.
c. There should be no column or data truncation.
10
Copy the contents of the Data worksheet to both the Initial
Analysis and Profit Analysis worksheets, with cell A1 as
upper left-hand corner in for both worksheets.
a. The two worksheet Excel tables should meet the
formatting requirements of the Data worksheet
specified in step 7 above .
b. There should be no column or data truncation.
c. Each of the destinations should have an Excel table.

In the Initial Analysis worksheet, using the Excel table just
copied there:
a. Create a Pivot Table.
b. Adjust column widths if necessary to eliminate title and
data truncation of the pivot table.
c. Locate the top edge of the Pivot Table in at the top edge
of Row 1 and a few columns to the right of the data
d. Display the total revenue for all four types (carclass) of
vehicles.
e. Display the total revenue for both Airport and Downtown
locations.
f. Row and column calculations (sum) are required so that
the total revenue for EACH location and the total revenue for
EACH carclass are visible in the pivot table. There must be a
grand total that represents the sum of ALL revenue.
g. Ensure that the formatting is as listed in the
Comments column.

Format (for pivot table
label, text, data as
appropriate):
• Currency (leading
dollar sign)
• No decimal places
• Arial 10 point
• Normal font
• No title or data
truncation in the pivot
table.
• Right-align the row
labels.
12
In the Initial Analysis worksheet, using the pivot table:
a. Create a column or bar type of chart that shows the total
revenue for each of the four vehicle types at each location.
b. Add a title that reflects the information presented by the
chart.
c. The upper left corner of the chart should be one or two rows
below the above referenced pivot table and left-aligned with the
pivot table.
d. The chart should clearly indicate location and type of car.
The chart should allow

a viewer to determine
approximate revenue
totals for each vehicle
total revenue at each
location.
The chart should have
no more than 8 bars or
columns.
For the two questions that follow, present your answers in the
Initial Analysis worksheet
in a very readable format. These answers should be placed on
the page below the pivot
table and chart Do not let the answers be "split" over more than
one page. You can type
your answer in one cell (in Column A), then highlighting and
selecting several rows and
columns, selecting merge cells and selecting Wrap Text. Do
NOT widen the columns as
this will adversely impact the appearance of the pivot tables
above. You will want to
change the text from Center to Left justification. Play with this
a bit. If you simply type
your answer on a single line in Column A, that will also be ok.
But be sure the entire
answer can be read without the reader having to change any
formatting or view the
results in the cell contents box. There should be no need for
horizontal scrolling or to
read the answers in the cell editor at the top of the worksheet.

In the Profit Analysis worksheet:
In Row 1 and in the column to the immediate right of NumCars
label, add the following labels in the following order: Expenses,
Profit, ProfitperCar (three labels, each in one column), if
necessary adjusting column widths to eliminate truncation. The
Excel table should be extended three columns to the right
after adding these three new columns.

1. In Row 1, two columns to the right of the Profit per Car
label

add the label: Hybrid Expense per Car.
2. In Row 2, in the same column as Hybrid Expenses add the
label Non-Hybrid Expense per Car.
DO NOT adjust column widths for these two labels. The blank
column to the left of these two labels will prevent these two
labels from becoming a right extension of the Excel table.
format:
• Arial 10 point
• Bold

In the next totally visible cell (no content bleed over from
label) in
Row 1 add 100 for Hybrid Expense per Car in Row 1 and in
Row
2 add 50 for Non-Hybrid Expense per Car. The absolute cell
addresses of these two numeric values will be used to calculate
Expenses in the Excel table for each row.

Expenses costs include maintenance, cleaning, and
administrative expenses associated for a car rental. The
Expenses for one rental transaction will be determined from the
values specified in the worksheet. DO NOT enter the values in
this column on a cell by cell basis.
a. In the first cell directly under the Expenses label, calculate
the total Expenses that corresponds to the number of cars
rented IN THAT ROW (NumCars) using an "IF" statement to as
part of the formula to determine the value of Expenses for one
vehicle.
b. First, use the "IF" statement to determine the single vehicle
Expenses and second, edit the cell contents to multiply it by the
NumCars so that the Expenses value represents the total
Expenses costs for the Number of Cars (NumCars) rented in a
given row.
c. Use the absolute cell address for the numerical Expenses
value for ONE vehicle which should then be multiplied by the
number of cars in each row.
d. Adjust column width as needed to eliminate truncation after

format adjustments..
Note: the use of absolute addresses allows those Expenses
values to be changed and then by recalculation, update the
entire Excel table.
