Assignments for Class 10: Excel Tables and Structured References
Assignment 1: Creating and Formatting Tables
Objective: Convert a dataset into an Excel Table and format it.
Instructions:
- Open a new Excel workbook.
- Enter the following dataset in the first sheet:
Product | Amount | Quantity |
A | 250 | 15 |
B | 300 | 7 |
C | 400 | 20 |
D | 150 | 12 |
- Select the dataset and convert it into a table using the steps outlined in class.
- Apply a style of your choice to the table to enhance its appearance.
Expected Outcome:
You should have a formatted table with a clear design that differentiates the headers from the data.
Assignment 2: Using Structured References in Formulas
Objective: Utilize structured references to perform calculations.
Instructions:
- In the table created in Assignment 1, add the following data below your existing rows:
Product | Amount | Quantity |
E | 500 | 10 |
F | 350 | 8 |
- In a new cell below the table, calculate the following using structured references:
- Total Amount: Use the formula =SUM(Table1[Amount])
- Total Quantity: Use the formula =SUM(Table1[Quantity])
- Additionally, calculate the Average Amount using the formula =AVERAGE(Table1[Amount]) in another cell.
Expected Outcome:
You should have the total amount, total quantity, and average amount calculated correctly using structured references.
Assignment 3: Sorting and Filtering Data
Objective: Apply sorting and filtering features to an Excel Table.
Instructions:
- Using the table created in Assignment 1 (with all products), perform the following:
- Sort the table by the Amount column in descending order.
- Filter the table to display only products with a Quantity greater than 10.
- Take a screenshot of the sorted and filtered table and paste it into a Word document.
Expected Outcome:
You should have a screenshot of the sorted and filtered table showing only the products with quantities greater than 10.
Assignment 4: Combining Tables and Using Structured References
Objective: Work with multiple tables and structured references.
Instructions:
- Create a new sheet in the same workbook.
- Enter the following dataset for another table:
Salesperson | Total Sales | Region |
John | 1000 | North |
Lisa | 1500 | South |
Mike | 1200 | East |
Sarah | 1800 | West |
- Convert this dataset into a table and name it Sales.
- In the original table (from Assignment 1), add a new column titled Salesperson and fill it with names corresponding to the products (A - John, B - Lisa, C - Mike, D - Sarah, E - John, F - Lisa).
- In a new cell, use structured references to calculate the total sales for John by referencing both tables:
=SUMIFS(Sales[Total Sales], Salesperson, "John")
Expected Outcome:
You should have an additional column in the first table and a correct calculation of total sales for John, showcasing the use of structured references across multiple tables.
Assignment 5: Reflection and Summary
Objective: Reflect on what you have learned about Excel Tables and structured references.
Instructions:
- Write a brief summary (150-200 words) reflecting on the importance of using Excel Tables and structured references.
- Include points on how these features can improve data management and analysis in Excel.
Expected Outcome:
You should provide a concise summary highlighting the benefits of Excel Tables and structured references.
