Spreadsheet lab
Create a small spreadsheet that solves the following problems
- Open your spreadsheet software
- Put your name in cell C1
- Use a formula to calculate the value of this problem: 3458/1729+4
Put a label next to the cell so you know what it means. DO NOT
just write down the answer! Have the formula figure it out!
- Place the day of the month you were born in a cell underneath
the formula. Label this cell as well.
- Estimate the number of cans of soup you have in your pantry
right now. Place that value under the day of the month, and
label it.
- Figure out the total ages of the pets in your family. If you
want to use a different cell for each pet, that is fine, but label
them clearly.
- Estimate the amount of time it took you to get to school this
morning in minutes. Label this value
- Move to another part of the page and figure the sum of all the
above values.
- Write a formula that will multiply together all the values
- Write a formula that will show the average of all values.
- It's a little known fact that your lucky number can be derived
from these values! The formula is this:
Take the Birth date, multiply it by the cans of soup squared. Divide
this entire quantity by the sum of the age of your pets and time to
school. The resulting value is your lucky number.
Figure it out and put it on the spreadsheet. Use CELL REFERENCES
ONLY! Some of the values might change, and you want to be able to
re-figure your lucky number.
- Name the range which contains the first formula (3458...), the
birth date, cans of soup, age of pets, and time to school. Call this
range something clever like Values. You might need to look for some
kind of range naming command.
- Calculate the average value of the range. Use the range name in
the average formula.
- create some kind of chart demonstrating the values in your
range. Look for some type of chart-creation tool.
- Save and print your spreadsheet.
