Exercise 1 – Getting started with Excel
The objective of this exercise if to learn what are spreadsheet, worksheet, cell, rows, columns and formula
bar.
A spreadsheet is a special way of organizing data into rows and columns to make it simpler to read and
manipulate. The worksheet is comprised of columns (the vertical sets of boxes labelled A, B, C, etc), and
rows (the horizontal sets of boxes labelled 1, 2, 3, etc). At the intersection of each row and column is
a cell into which a user can enter either numbers or text. When you enter information or formulas into
Excel, they appear in the line of the formula bar.

Exercise 2 – Alignment and Formatting
The objective of this exercise if to learn font setting, alignment and styles. The Worksheet before font
formatting, alignment and style look as follows:
Once you have completed the exercise, your answer should look like this:

Exercise 4 – Percentage and AVERAGE Function From the data given in Exercise 3, let's learn to calculate the following:
a) the grade in % and
b) the average marks obtained in the quiz.
%. To calculate the average marks in the cell B10 =AVERAGE(B3:B9)
Once you have completed the exercise, your answer should look like this:
10
Practice Question 1 – SUM, Decimals and Percentage Using the data given below, practice and fill the yellow coloured-missing figures
a) total using the SUM formula,
b) the grade in decimals,
c) the grade in %
Once you have completed the practice question, your answer should look like this:
11
Practice Question 2 – AVERAGE Function Using the data given in the question, calculate the AVERAGE for each quiz and test.
Once you have completed the practice question, your answer should look like this:
12
Practice Question 3 – SUM and Sales Percentage Find the missing values (highlighted in yellow colour)
Once you have completed the practice question, your answer should look like this:
13
Exercise 5 – Conditional Formatting Top 10 Values
From the data given in the table below. Highlight the Top 10 items using the conditional formatting.
Once you have completed the exercise, your answer should look like this:
14
Practice Question 4 – Conditional Formatting and SUM Function

Exercise 6 – COUNT and COUNTA Functions
Count function: From the data given in the table below, COUNT function counts the numbers in a range
of cells. It is important to note that it will count the numbers and will not cater to the text items.
=COUNT(C5:C13). COUNTA function: Count all the cells that are not empty in a range of cells.
=COUNTA(C5:C13)
Once you have completed the exercise, your answer should look like this:
16
Exercise 7 – COUNTIFS and SUMIFS Functions
COUNTIFS function: Counts just come of the items in a range of cells based on a condition of a set of criteria. For example, it can count how many times the word “Gigi” appears in a range of names . For
example, for Gigi, use the formula =COUNTIFS(B5:B13,F11)
SUMIFS function: Add just come of the numbers in a range based on a condition of a set of criteria. For
example, it can add sales for just the Sales Representative “Gigi” with the formula
=SUMIFS(C5:C13,B5:B13,F11).
Once you have completed the exercise, your answer should look like this:

a) count the number of cells in the range A2:A15 that equals 2
b) count the number of cells in the range A2:A15 that equals the value in cell A2
c) add the counts of cells in the range A2:A15 that equals to 4 to the count of the
cells in the same range equals to 8
d) count the number of cells in the range A2:A15 that contain a value greater than
the number 5
e) count the number of cells in the range A2:A15 that contain values not equal to
the value in A2
Once you have completed the practice question, your answer should look like this:
21
Practice Question 9 – SUM and SUMIF Functions
From the data given in the table below, calculate Q4 Sales using the SUM formula and SUMIF function
to calculate the meat sold in Quarter 4 of the year.
Once you have completed the practice question, your answer should look like this:
