Summary
Create a Microsoft Excel file with four worksheets that provides
extensive use of Excel capabilities including graphing, 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 two classes of cars: economy
and premium. Rental revenue is maintained separately for the two
classes of rental vehicles.
The data for this case resides in the file Excel Project 1-Data.txt and
can be downloaded by clicking on the Assignments tab, then on the
data tile name. It is a text file (with the file type .txt).

2. Do not create your own data. You must use the data provided
andonlythe data provided.
Tutorials
Note: Tutorials that address activities used in this project have been
assigned in Week 1, 2 and 3.
Open Excel and save a blank worksheet with the following name:
1 a. “Student’s First InitialLast Name Excel Project 1”
Example: JSmith Excel Project 1.
b. Set Page Layout to Landscape

a. In the Analysis by worksheet, enter the four labels vertically in
column A 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 in the cell
d. It may be necessary to adjust the column width so the four
labels are clearly visible.
4
a. In the Analysis by worksheet, with all entries in column C,
enter the appropriate values for Name,
Class and Section, Project, Date Due.

3. b. It may be necessary to adjust the column width so the four
labels are clearly visible.

6.
a. If necessary, reorder the four worksheets so they are in the
following order: Analysis by, Data,
Sorted, Airport.
7.In the Data worksheet,
import the text file Excel Project 1-Data.txt.
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 to Currency
format with NO decimal points and to change NumCars to numerical
format, with no decimal points, as a result of the import operation.
This may or may not occur, but in case it does it needs to be
corrected.

4. 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,
c. The style should highlight the field names in the first row.
d. Ensure NO blank spaces are part of the specified data range.
Insure the table has headers.
e. Insure that Header Row and Banded Rows are selected in the
Table Style Options Group Box.
9.
In the Data worksheet,
a. select the entire table (data and headers) using a mouse.
b. Copy the table to the Sorted worksheet.
c. The upper left hand corner of the header/data in Sorted should
be in cell A1.
d. Adjust columns widths if necessary to insure all data and field
names are readable.
10.
In the Sorted worksheet,
a. sort the data by location (ascending)
b. (All cells with data in the table should be selected)
11.

5. a. Copy the entire table from the Sorted worksheet to the Airport
worksheet.
b. Some column adjustments may be necessary to insure the field
names as well as the data is all readable.
12.
a. delete all the rows in the table where the data is for
Downtown,
b. the field names should remain at the top of the table, and
c. the remaining data should be for the Airport location.
13.
In the Airport worksheet,
a. sort all the data first by CarClass (Ascending),
b. then by Year (Ascending),
c. then by Quarter (Ascending).
14.
In the Airport worksheet,
a. add a new column head AvgRev that calculates the Average
Revenue for a row,
b. add a formula to calculate the AvgRev by dividing the
Revenue by the NumCars for all rows in the table, and
c. use 2 decimal points in the values.
d. Column adjustment may be needed to insure both the title and
the data is visible.
e. Use the formatting instructions in the Comments.

6. 15.
In the Airport worksheet,
a. create a range named AE that includes every AvgRev value
for Economy cars, and
b. create a range named AP that includes every AvgRev value
for Premium cars.
