Hands-On Exercise – Invoice Project Description:Recently, you took a position as the senior
account manager at Wilhelmina’s Total Lawn Care (WTLC), a lawn care company located in
Leland, Michigan. WTLC specializes in full service lawn care ranging from landscaping to
weekly maintenance. The previous manager used a paper-based system to prepare expense
reports, invoices, and payroll statements. However, this was a time-consuming process and
required manual recalculation when any values changed. You want to start automating
tasks using your extensive experience with Excel. You decide to start with the client invoice
report form. Because each of the company’s billing representatives utilizes the same
procedures, you will adapt an Excel template to use as a model for creating invoices. The
template needs to be generic enough to accommodate a range of options, but it also needs to
maintain a standard design to facilitate easy data entry. You will download an existing Excel
invoice template, customize the template for your business needs, and inspect the
worksheet for accessibility. Finally, you will create macros to perform a series of tasks, such
as clearing the values to reset the form and finalizing the invoice for management
approval. Start Excel. Download and open the file named
Exp22_Excel_Ch12_HOE_Invoice.xlsx. Grader has automatically added your last name to the
beginning of the filename. The Invoice template provides the basic design you need, but
you want to add your company’s contact information. You also want to delete the sample
data and remove the developer’s data validation comments. Make the following edits to
the template: Type Wilhelmina’s Total Lawn Care in cell B2 Type Every Lawn Needs
TLC in cell B3 Type Lot Area in cell C5 Type 1234 Caesar Parkway, Leland, MI 49654 in
cell B27 Apply Italics format to cell B3 Delete the values in the range D6:D10 Continue
editing the template by making the following structural changes. Insert a row before row
1 Insert a column before column A Set the column width of column A to 2 Add an outside
border to the range B2:F29 Clear all data validation that was included in the original
template Rename the worksheet Customer Invoice Prior to distributing your template, you
want to remove all personal information. You will use the Document Inspector to complete
the task. Use the Document Inspector to remove all Document Properties and
Personal Information. Mac users, on the Excel menu, click Preferences and then click the
Security icon. In the Security dialog box, click Remove personal information from this file
on save. The invoice will be sent electronically, and you want to make sure the Invoice
template does not contain content that might cause difficulties for users. To ensure
2. this document is compliant with accessibility standards, you will check accessibility. Use
the Accessibility Checker to check the template for issues. Once completed, make the
following changes to improve the template’s accessibility. Unmerge the following ranges
C27:D27, C28:D28, C4:C5, C2:F2, D12:E12, D13:E13, D6:E6. Set the text in cell C2 to left
alignment. Type Due on: in cell D13. You know that some of remote staff members are
using Excel 2010. You want to make sure the workbook does not have critical features that
might not display when opened with the older version of the software. Use the
Compatibility Checker to check the template for compatibility with Excel 2010-2016
versions. Mac users, on the Tools menu (or the Review tab), click Check Accessibility. You
want to add notes to the template to provide instruction to your staff. To do this you will
annotate the worksheet using comments. Clear the contents of cell C13. Then add the
following comments to the template. Cell C13 – Enter Business or Residential Cell E3 –
Insert Date Cell E6 – Use the custom area function to calculate lot area Cell E13 – Business
jobs are due in 30 days, all others due upon receipt After inserting comments, you decide
you will automate the insertion of the date in a later step. Therefore, you will remove the
comment from cell E3. You also want to edit the comment in cell E13 to make a small
grammatical change. Delete the comment in cell E3. Edit the comment in cell E13 to reflect
the following changes Business jobs are due in 30 days. All others due upon receipt For
your last step, you want to hide the comments to reduce screen clutter. Once the comments
are hidden, the comment indicators will still be visible. Hide all comments in the
template. You do not want to assume the level of Excel expertise throughout your
company; therefore, you want to craft a macro that will automate as much as possible. The
macro you will create automatically clears existing values in the workbook. Although
the template is empty to start, users might open the template, save a workbook, and then
want to use that workbook to prepare more invoices. Therefore, you want the macro to
clear cells even though the original template has no values. Once completed, save the
workbook as a macro enabled template. Record a macro named ClearInvoice. Add the
description: This macro clears existing values in the current invoice. when creating the
macro. When run, the macro should do the following: Delete the values in the cells E6, C13,
E13, and the ranges C7:C11 and C15:E25. After deleting the values, the macro should enter
the following default values. C7 = Name C8 = Company Name C9 = Street Address C10
= City, ST Zip Code C11 = Phone You want to make sure the ClearInvoice macro does
what you want it to do. You will add some sample data and run the macro. Enter the
following sample values, then run the ClearInvoice macro. C8 = John Doe Inc. C9 =
123 Sample Street C10 = Leland, MI 49654 C11 = (231) 555-5555 Your sales reps may
not be Excel experts and not know how to run a macro. To make it easier to clear
values from the form, you want to assign the ClearInvoice macro to a button. The users
can click the button to clear the form to use it for another customer. You will also add a
button to be utilized later in the project. Insert a Button (Form Control) in the range H2:J2.
Edit the button label to display the text Clear Form and assign the ClearInvoice macro. Next
insert a Button (Form Control) spanning the range H4:J5. Edit the button text to display
the text Insert Date. Type Customer Name in cell C7 and then click the Clear Form button
to run the macro. In order to use VBA to automatically insert and format the date, you will
3. first create a new module. You will then use the range object to insert the current date and
adjust the font property to bold the current date. Create a new module in the VBA Editor
named DateStamp. Enter the following code to create the desired sub
procedure. Sub DateStamp () ‘Unprotect worksheet for
editingWorksheets(“Customer Invoice”).Unprotect Password:=”Expl0r!ng” ‘Insert current
date in cell E3Range(“E3”)=Date ‘Adds bold format to cell
E3Range(“E3”).Font.Bold=True ‘Protects worksheet using the password
Expl0r!ngWorksheets(“Customer Invoice”).Protect Password:=”Expl0r!ng” End Sub After
entering the code exit the VBA Editor and run the macro to test your work. After running
the sub procedure, you decide that the inserted date should be italic instead of bold. You
will make this change in the VBA Editor by changing the Italic property. You will also add
a statement to the ClearInvoice Macro to unprotect the worksheet when clearing its
data. Open the DateStamp module in the VBA Editor. Locate the code
Range(“E3”).Font.Bold=True and replace the word Bold with italic. Next open Module 1.
Press enter twice at the end of the first line (Ln1, Col9) and type the following
code. ‘Unprotect worksheet for editing.Worksheets(“Customer Invoice”).Unprotect
password:=”Expl0r!ng” After entering the code save and exit the VBA Editor. Next assign
the DateStamp macro to form control button 2. You decide to create a custom function to
enable users to manually calculate the area of a yard being serviced. Open the VBA Editor
and create a new module named CustomFunction then enter the following
code: FunctionArea(Length,Width) ‘This function will calculate the area of the lawn being
servicedArea = Length * Width End Function Save and exit the VBA Editor. Type
=area(20,45) in cell E6 to test your work. Insert a new worksheet named Code. Open the
VBA Editor, open the ClearInvoice module, and copy the code. Paste the code in the Code
worksheet starting in cell A1 then remove any rows containing blank cells.
When complete, the code block should appear continuous with no blank cells
between lines. Open the DateStamp module, and copy the code. Paste the code in the
Code worksheet starting in cell A31 then remove any rows containing blank cells. When
complete, the code block should appear continuous with no blank cells between
lines. Open the Function module, and copy the code. Paste the code in the Code worksheet
starting in cell A44 then remove any rows containing blank cells. When complete, the code
block should appear continuous with no blank cells between lines. Close
EXP22_Excel_Ch12_HOE_Invoice.xlsx. Be sure to save the copy as a .xlsx file, not a macro-
enabled workbook. Exit Excel. Submit the .xlsx file as directed.
