All data has been provided in Figure 29 and PLEASE READ ALL STEPS and COPY ALL DATA AND FORMULAS exactly as printed in the book and the steps of the instructions and you will be fine. I know there is a lot of data and many steps. Take your time, proofread all steps, data, formulas, for accuracy. Message me if you need help.

Using the Excel Activities workbook pdf attached below, turn to pages 74-75 , Lesson 28 "The Ultimate Pay Raise- , Working with conditions", begin a new blank worksheet in Excel or Google Sheets. Read Overview and new skills summary. Copy data on p. 75. In this lesson, you will use the IF function ( a built in formula that gives a result based on certain conditions being met or not met) Just read and follow all steps on p. 74 steps 1-13. Read step #9 that gives you the new IF formula that determines the pay raise for each employee based on their current earning level above or below $50K. Copy and type the formula exactly as shown and complete all steps in the assignment. If you have any questions or need help, message me. good luck

Look at definitions of IF function (formula) posted below and watch video. Try to explain in your own words what the IF function does in spreadsheets.

Create a new blank worksheet for Lesson 26 "Sales Projection" on pgs. 69-70 of Excel Activities workbook posted below as a pdf for you to view. Read and follow all steps on p. 69, Steps 1-19. Copy data from p. 70 and follow all steps to complete data, formatting, and formulas necessary to calculate data. They are all in the steps of the instructions. Please look at new formulas carefully because using the $ dollar sign before the column and row reference (cell addresses) locks the cell reference from being changed when it's copied to another location in the worksheet. As you know, when using autofill or copying formulas, the cell reference changes for us automatically to pick up the correct data, but in this case we DO NOT WANT the cell addresses changed. We want them to stick! For example: In Step #15, in cell E8, type the formula =B8/$B$16 Using the dollar signs before Column B and Row 16 "locks" this cell from changing no matter where you copy in the worksheet. It's like glue, keeps it stuck! Hope this helps you understand absolute cell references. Please read all steps/data carefully. You have until Monday to complete as some students are taking AP exams this week also.

Then read and follow steps 1-21 on pgs. 61-62 to complete and calculate data. ** Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel will convert any decimal to a fraction for you. All you have to do is select/highlight the data (decimals), then in Excel, go to Home tab, number group, open up list of choices (click launch button to open dialog box of number format choices) and choose Fraction. For Google Sheets, go to Format, Number, scroll down to Custom Number Formats, then you will see a list of choices. Choose the following: #?/? Then click Apply. * It's a little tricky, but I tried it and it works. Message me if you need help. You have until Tuesday to complete and turn in.

I read, grade, then return the same file to you so you can use it for the next question/same page continuously, many students like it this way. Some students are just sending in one question/response at a time. If you like, do it that way, but please label as: Do Now MP6 - Day # and you may type the date also to keep track of them. Copy and respond to first question below:

Do Now MP6 - Day 1

Use the Excel Activities Workbook attached below as pdf to turn to pgs. 45-46. Read and follow instructions for "My Check Register" Steps 1-14. In steps 7-9 and steps 11-12 you need to read and copy the formula given in the instructions.

Remember to determine amount of taxes to be deducted from gross pay, multiply (*) the tax rates by the gross pay and make sure you use percent sign % with amount of tax rate as they give you in the steps of the workbook. Read and follow carefully. Once you get to net pay (last column), remember that net pay is determined by taking gross pay minus - (all deductions added up together +) For example: =F12-(G12+H12+I12+J12) . You may use autofill to copy all the other formulas down each column for the other employees. I think these steps will all come back to you the way you worked on the other payroll report in class. Take your time, read all steps carefully, and you should be fine. I'll be viewing the formulas on Sheets and Excel. Remember you can turn on the formulas by using CTRL + ` . In Google Sheets you can click View tab and Show formulas to see if the formulas are correct. You have until Friday night to complete and return. If you have questions, message me. Good luck!

Check your work when done vs. results on p. 115. If results do not match, please go back and check your data and/or formulas for accuracy. Correct and turn in when complete. Message me if you have any questions. Btw, you can quickly navigate to the page through the table of contents or drop down index icon and the page in pdf mode may be rotated to make it easier to see the data. Hope this helps.

Read Lesson Overview for Lesson 4.1 "Bestsellers" (pgs. 96-101) in the Learn-by-doing Excel 2016 workbook attached as a pdf file down below. Complete steps 1-13. Autofill and other commands needed for this lesson are available on both Excel and Sheets. Students using sheets, don't worry about page orientation to Landscape (Step 5a) or if a certain font style is not available, you may substitute another style of your choice (step 5c) . If you cannot see measurements for row height in Sheets, just estimate by dragging border lines between the row numbers (step 7d) Dates can be formatted as "Text" by either typing an apostrophe (') before each year is typed in the cell or clicking format tab, text. On Google Sheets: Also for Heading styles, (Step 8b) click Format tab, then click Alternating Colors, then enter the range to format or highlight the cells where formatting should take place on the worksheet. Remember a range is a group of cells. For example A1:G1, means all cells in row 1 from A1 through G1. another example would be: B5:E20, means all cells beginning with B5 through and ending at E20. Hope these tips help you. Please try steps again if they don't work the first time and explore all the tabs and commands to experiment with the data. I know you are trying your best. ***Btw, you can rotate pdf pages using the circular arrow at the top so you can read the data in the exercise better.***

How do you feel about the Spring Break being cancelled?

Describe how to use the Autofill (automatically fill in) command/button on an Excel worksheet or Google Sheets. It works on both! Remember you can automatically fill in a Column or Row of data to save you from typing. For example you can quickly fill in a column of numbers from 1-50, or the days of the week, or a row of the months of the year! The questions is: Do you remember the steps on how to do that? (we did it in class many times)
