FaQ
What will be considered for grading?
Only “Answer” Sheets will be considered for grading.
Can I add additional worksheets?
Yes.
What is the best way to present my solution?
Complete your work in your worksheet and reference or “hardcode” your answer in the yellow
cells provided in the “Answer” sheet.
Why is my formula not working in Excel?
Check for Automatic Calculation. On the Formulas ribbon [Excel Opions], look to the far right
and click Calculation Options. When this option is set to automatic, Excel recalculates the
spreadsheet’s formulas whenever you change a cell value.
