• Question 22:

  You work as an Office Assistant for Peach Tree Inc. Your responsibility includes creating sales incentive report of all sales managers for every quarter. You are using Microsoft Excel to create a worksheet for preparing the report. You have inserted the sales figures of all sales managers as shown in the image given below:

  You have to calculate the first quarter incentives for all sales managers. The incentive percentage (provided in cell B3) is fixed for all sales managers. The incentive will be calculated on their total first quarter sales. You have to write a formula in the cell F8. Then you will drag the cell border to the cell F12 to copy the formula to all the cells from F8 to F12. In the first step, you select the F8 cell. Which of the following formulas will you insert to accomplish the task?

  A. =andBand3/100 * E8
  B. =B3/100 * E8
  C. =B3/100 * andEand8
  D. =$B$3/100 * E8
  E. =B3/100 * $E$8
  D. =$B$3/100 * E8

  ---

  In order to accomplish the task, you will have to insert the following formula:

  =$B$3/100 * E8

  According to the question, the formula will be inserted in cell F8 and then the cell's border will be dragged to the F12 cell. Furthermore, the incentive percentage is fixed for all sales managers

  and the value is provided in the cell B3. You will have to insert a formula that refers to the B3 cell as an absolute reference. For this you will have to type currency symbol ($) before the row

  name and column number. In order to accomplish the task, type the following formula in the cell F8:

  =$B$3/100 * E8

  When absolute reference is used for referencing a cell in a formula, dragging cell's border to another cell does not change the cell's reference. Answer options B and E are incorrect. This formula references the B3 cell as a relative reference.

  After inserting the formula, when the cell's border is dragged, it will change the cell reference relatively.

  Answer options A and C are incorrect. Ampersand symbol (and) is not used for referencing cells in Excel.

  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.

• Question 28:

  Which of the following is used to display a trend based on adjacent data in a clear and compact graphical representation by taking up a small amount of space?

  A. Trendline
  B. Line chart
  C. Sparkline
  D. Backstage view
  C. Sparkline

  ---

  A sparkline is defined as a tiny chart in the background of a cell. Unlike charts on an Excel Worksheet, sparklines are not objects. It is used because data presented in a row or column is useful, but patterns can be hard to spot at a glance. It is

  used to display a trend based on adjacent data in a clear and compact graphical representation by taking up a small amount of space.

  The benefit of using the sparklines is that these can be printed when a user prints a worksheet that contains them. This feature is not available in charts. Answer option D is incorrect. The Microsoft Office Backstage view is used to replace the

  traditional file menu with a new approach that uses In and Out features for efficiency. The improved Ribbon enables users to access their preferred commands rapidly and create custom tabs to personalize the way they work.

  Answer option A is incorrect. A trendline is defined in Excel 2013. It is a data visualization tool to display the trend of a particular data range.

  It is used to show the slope of data points in a chart. There are various types of trendlines, such as linear trendlines, exponential trendlines, and linear forecast trendlines. Answer option B is incorrect. Excel provides a column chart facility to

  display data that is arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet. Line charts are used to display continuous data over time, set against a common scale. In a line chart, category data is distributed along the horizontal axis, and all value data is

  distributed along the vertical axis. Line charts are ideal for showing trends in data at equal intervals.

  

  A line chart should be used where category labels are text, and are representing evenly spaced Values such as months, quarters, or years.

• Question 29:

  You work as an Office Assistant for Tech Perfect Inc. You are working in the spreadsheet of the

  company's high selling products. You input a formula for calculating the monthly sell of a particular product but your Excel cell shows a string of # symbols instead of returning a value as shown below:

  

  Which of the following are the reasons that are causing the above problem? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

  A. You are inserting a new column, next to a column that is already formatted as text.
  B. The cell is not wide enough for displaying the calculated value.
  C. The lookup_value or the array you are searching resides in a cell containing unseen spaces at the start or end of that cell.
  D. Excel is trying to show the contents of the cell as a date or time stored as positive numeric values within Excel, but the cell contains a negative value.
  B. The cell is not wide enough for displaying the calculated value.
  D. Excel is trying to show the contents of the cell as a date or time stored as positive numeric values within Excel, but the cell contains a negative value.

  ---

  The Cell Shows ##### error occurs because the cell is not wide enough for displaying the calculated value. The other reason is that Excel is trying to show the contents of the cell as a date or time stored as positive numeric values within Excel, but the cell contains a negative value. Answer option C is incorrect. 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 A 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 30:

  You work as an Office Assistant for Dreams Unlimited Inc. You use Microsoft Excel 2013 for creating various types of reports. You have created a report in the format given below: In the A7 cell, you are required to put a formula so that it can fulfill the description provided in the B7 cell.
