PROJECT STEPS
1.
Carla Arranga is a senior account manager at Ensight Healthcare Consultants, a
consulting firm that works with hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers around
the world. Carla has created a workbook summarizing the status of the consulting
project for Everett Hospital. She asks for your help in completing the workbook.
Go to the Project Status worksheet. Unfreeze the first column since it does not display
information that applies to the rest of the worksheet.
2.
In cell J1, enter a formula using the NOW function to display today’s date. Apply the
Short Date number format to display only the date in the cell.
3.
Format the worksheet title as follows to use a consistent design throughout the
workbook:
4.
a.
Fill cell B2 with the Dark Red, Accent 6, Lighter 40% shading color.
b.
Change the font color to White, Background 1.
c.
Merge and center the contents of cell B2 across the range B2:H2.
d.
Use AutoFit to resize row 2 to its best fit.
Format the billing rate data as follows to suit the design of the worksheet and make the
data easier to understand:
a.
Italicize the contents of cell I2 to match the formatting in cell I1.
b.
Apply the Currency number format to cell J2 to clarify that it contains a dollar
amount.

9.
Format the data in cell A4 as follows to display all of the text:
a.
Merge the cells in the range A4:A13.
b.
Rotate the text up in the merged cell so that the text reads from bottom to top.
c.
Middle-align and center the text.
d.
Remove the border from the merged cell.
e.
Resize column A to a width of 4.00.
Format the data in row 4 as follows to show that it contains column headings:
a.
Change “Description” to use Service Description as the complete column
heading.
b.
Apply the Accent 6 cell style to the range B4:H4.
c.
Use AutoFit to resize column D to its best fit.
Carla wants to include the actual dollar amount of the services performed in column E.
Enter this information as follows:
a.
In cell E5, enter a formula without using a function that multiplies the actual hours
(cell D5) by the billing rate (cell J2) to determine the actual dollar amount
charged for general administrative services. Include an absolute reference to cell
J2 in the formula.
b.
Use the Fill Handle to fill the range E6:E13 with the formula in cell E5 to include
the charges for the other services.
c.
Format the range E6:E13 using the Comma number format and no decimal places
to match the formatting in column F.
Carla needs to show how much of the estimate remains after the services performed.
Provide this information as follows:
a.
In cell G5, enter a formula without using a function that subtracts the actual
dollars billed (cell E5) from the estimated amount (cell F5) to determine the
remaining amount of the estimate for general administrative services.
b.
Use the Fill Handle to fill the range G6:G13 with the formula in cell G5 to include
the remaining amount for the other services.
c.
Format the range G6:G13 using the Comma number format and no decimal places
to match the formatting in column F.
Carla also wants to show the remaining amount as a percentage of the actual amount.
Enter this information as follows:
a.
In cell H5, enter a formula that divides the remaining dollar amount (cell G5) by
the estimated dollar amount (cell F5).
b.
Copy the formula in cell H5 to the range H6:H14, pasting only the formula and
number formatting to display the remaining amount as a percentage of the actual
amount for the other services and the total.

10.
11.
Calculate the project status totals as follows:
a.
In cell D14, enter a formula using the SUM function to total the actual hours
(range D5:D13).
b.
Use the Fill Handle to fill the range E14:G14 with the formula in cell D14.
c.
Apply the Accounting number format with no decimal places to the range
E14:G14.
Carla also wants to identify the services for which Ensight has billed more than the full
estimate amount.
In the range H5:H13, use Conditional Formatting Highlight Cells Rules to format
values less than 1% (0.01) in Light Red Fill with Dark Red Text.
12.
Carla imported data about the consultants working on the Everett Hospital project and
stored the data on a separate worksheet, but wants to include the data in the Project
Status worksheet.
Copy and paste the data as follows:
13.
a.
Go to the Consultants worksheet and copy the data in the range B2:G12.
b.
Return to the Project Status worksheet. Paste the data in cell J3, keeping the
source formatting when you paste it.
Carla needs to list the role for each consultant. Those with four or more years of
experience take the Lead role. Otherwise, they take the Associate role. List this
information as follows:
a.
In cell N5 on the Project Status worksheet, enter a formula that uses the IF
function to test whether the number of years of experience (cell M5) is greater
than or equal to 4.
b.
If the consultant has four or more years of experience, display “Lead” in cell N5.
c.
If the consultant has less than four years of experience, display “Associate” in
cell N5.
d.
Copy the formula in cell N5 to the range N6:N13, pasting the formula only.
e.
Use AutoFit to resize column N to its best fit.
14.
Carla wants to include summary statistics about the project and the consultants. Include
this information as follows:
In cell D16, enter a formula that uses the AVERAGE function to average the number of
years of experience (range M5:M13).
15.
Make the 3-D Clustered Column chart in the range B17:H31 easier to interpret as
follows:
16.
a.
Change the chart type to a Clustered Bar chart.
b.
Use Actual Project Hours as the chart title.
c.
Add a primary horizontal axis title to the chart, using Hours as the axis title text.
d.
Add data labels in the center of each bar.
Delete row 33 since Carla has reformatted the clustered column chart.

17.
Go to the Schedule worksheet. Rename the Schedule worksheet tab to Project
Schedule to use a more descriptive name.
18.
Each service starts on a different date because the services depend on each other. Enter
the starting dates for the remaining services as follows:
19.
a.
In cell D6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 4 days to the value
in cell C6.
b.
In cell E6, enter a formula without using a function that subtracts 3 days from the
value in cell C6.
c.
In cell F6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 2 days to the value
in cell E6.
d.
In cell G6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 2 days to the value
in cell C6.
Copy the formulas in Phase 2 to the rest of the schedule as follows:
a.
Copy the formula in cell D6 to the range D7:D9.
b.
Copy the formula in cell E6 to the range E7:E9.
c.
Copy the formula in cell F6 to the range F7:F9.
d.
Copy the formula in cell G6 to the range G7:G9.
20.
In cell C11, enter a formula that uses the MIN function to find the earliest date in the
project schedule (range C6:G9).
21.
In cell C12, enter a formula that uses the MAX function to find the latest date in the
project schedule (range C6:G9).
Your workbook should look like the Final Figures on the following pages. The value in cell J1 has
been intentionally blurred as it will never be constant. Save your changes, close the workbook,
and then exit Excel. Follow the directions on the website to submit your completed project.
