Question 2 Multiple choice

You work as an Office Assistant for Tech Perfect Inc. You are working in a spreadsheet. You observe that while trying to look up or match a lookup_value within an array, Excel is not able to recognize the matching value. Which of the following are the reasons that are causing the above problem?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

  1. A

    The lookup_value or the array you are searching resides in a cell containing unseen spaces at the start or end of that cell.

  2. B

    The contents of the cells that are being compared may have different data types.

  3. C

    Excel is trying to reference an invalid cell.

  4. D

    You are inserting a new column, next to a column that is already formatted as text.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: A, B

Explanation

The Failure to Look Up Values in Excel error occurs when a user gets an unexpected error while trying to look up or match a lookup_value within an array and Excel is not able to recognize the matching value. If the lookup_value or the array the user is searching resides in a cell, the user can have unseen spaces at the start or end of that cell. This will create the situation where the contents of the two cells that the user is comparing look the same but extra spaces in one of the cells cause the cells to have slightly different content. The other reason is that the contents of the cells that are being compared may have different data types. Answer option C is incorrect. The Lookup Function Won't Copy Down to Other Rows error occurs when a user uses a function in one cell and it works perfectly but when he attempts to copy the function down to other rows, he gets the #REF error. The #REF! error arises when Excel tries to reference an invalid cell. This error occurs if the user has referenced an entire worksheet by clicking on the grey square at the top left of the worksheet. For Excel, this reference range is 1 to 1048576. Since the references are Relative References, Excel automatically increases the row references when this cell is copied down to other rows in the spreadsheet.
Answer option D is incorrect. The Excel Won't Calculate My Function error occurs when a user types in a function and presses Enter, the cell shows the function as the user typed it, instead of returning the function's value. The reason that causes this problem is that the cells containing the formula are formatted as 'text' instead of the 'General' type. This happens when the user inserts a new column, next to a column that is already formatted as text due to which the new column inherits the formatting of the adjacent column.

Question 4 Single choice

You work as an Office Assistant for Media Perfect Inc. You have created a spreadsheet in Excel 2013 and shared it with the other employees of the company. You select the Encrypt with Password option as a protection measure for the document you are sharing.

    You will ask Microsoft to retrieve the password.

  3. C

    You will fetch the password from the list in which you have saved it.

  4. D

    You will create a new document.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The various Protect Workbook options are as follows:

1. Mark as Final: This option is used to make the document read-only. When a spreadsheet is marked as final, various options such as typing, editing commands, and proofing marks are disabled or turned off and the spreadsheet becomes read-only. This command helps a user to communicate that he is sharing a completed version of a spreadsheet. This command also prevents reviewers or readers from making inadvertent modifications to the spreadsheet.
2. Encrypt with Password: When a user selects the Encrypt with Password option, the Encrypt Document dialog box appears. In the Password box, it is required to specify a password. Microsoft is not able to retrieve lost or forgotten passwords, so it is necessary for a user to keep a list of passwords and corresponding file names in a safe place.
3. Protect Current Sheet: This option is used to select password protection and permit or prohibit other users to select, format, insert, delete, sort, or edit areas of the spreadsheet. This option protects the worksheet and locked cells.
4. Protect Workbook Structure: This option is used to select password protection and select options to prevent users from changing, moving, and deleting important data. This feature enables a user to protect the structure of the worksheet.
5. Restrict Permission by People: This option works on the basis of Window Rights Management to restrict permissions. A user is required to use a Windows Live ID or a Microsoft Windows account to restrict permissions. These permissions can be applied via a template that is used by the organization in which the user is working. These permissions can also be added by clicking Restrict Access.
6. Add a Digital Signature: This option is used to add a visible or invisible digital signature.
It authenticates digital information such as documents, e-mail messages, and macros by using computer cryptography. These signatures are created by specifying a signature or by using an image of a signature for establishing authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation.

Answer option D is incorrect. You can create a new document with the same details but it will increase the overhead and is a very time consuming process. Answer

Show answer and explanation

Explanation

A PivotTable report is used to summarize large amounts of data, to analyze numerical data, and to answer unexpected questions about data. Answer option B is incorrect.

They can be added by using the slicer button on the Ribbon. They need to be manually linked into grids as required.
Answer option D is incorrect. A form control is an original control that is compatible with old versions of

By using form controls, the user can run macros. He can attach an existing macro to a control, or write or record a new macro. These controls cannot be added to UserForms, used to control events, or modified to run Web scripts on Web pages.
Answer option A is incorrect. The accounting template is used for numbering months of a financial year to period numbering. It is used to compare month to month, actual v budget, quarter to quarter, year to year variances. It is the initial point for other reports that need the use of months.

Question 7 Single choice

Rick works as an Office Assistant for Tech Perfect Inc. The company has a Windows-based network. He is creating a form through Microsoft Excel 2013. He wants to enable worksheet forms to satisfy the flexible design requirements and to customize their appearance, behavior, fonts, and other characteristics.

Which of the following will Rick use to accomplish the task?

  1. A

    Form control

  2. B

    Accounting template

  3. C

    Trust Center

  4. D

    ActiveX control

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

ActiveX controls are used on worksheet forms, with or without the use of VBA code, and on VBA UserForms. They are used when a user needs more flexible design requirements than those provided by Form controls. They have extensive properties that can be used to customize their appearance, behavior, fonts, and other characteristics. The user can control different events that occur when an ActiveX control is interacted with. He can also write macros that respond to events associated with the ActiveX controls.
When a user interacts with the control, the VBA code runs to process any events that occur for that control.
The ActiveX controls cannot be added to chart sheets from the user interface or to XLM macro sheets. It is not possible to assign a macro to run directly from the ActiveX control.
Answer option A is incorrect. A form control is an original control that is compatible with old versions of
5. 0. It is designed for use on XLM macro sheets. It can be used when a user wants to simply interact with cell data without using VBA code and when he wants to add controls to chart sheets. By using form controls, the user can run macros.
He can attach an existing macro to a control, or write or record a new macro. These controls cannot be added to UserForms, used to control events, or modified to run Web scripts on Web pages.
Answer option B is incorrect. The accounting template is used for numbering months of a financial year to period numbering. It is used to compare month to month, actual v budget, quarter to quarter, year to year variances. It is the initial point for other reports that need the use of months. Answer
option C is incorrect.
Trust Center is where a user can find security and privacy settings for Microsoft Office 2013 programs.
