Basic calculations:
When working on a spreadsheet, you will almost definitely need to
perform some calculations on the data you have. The first thing you
need to remember about Excel calculations is that formulas always
start with an = sign. Let us begin with a very simple calculation.
TASK # 3
5. Calculate the following values for cells A1 to A8 using built-in Excel
functions:
a) Sum
b) Maximum
c) Minimum
d) Mean
e) Median
f) Mode ( for single and multiple)
TASK # 4

TASK # 5: Conditional Formatting
For all the negative values in the profit column apply the red or orange
shading. Do not do this step manually. Instead apply conditional formatting.
Check out the sample table below
Exercise 01:
1. Create a table with three columns [S. No, Name-of-student, and
percentage]. There should be at least 10 different entries on your table.
The percentage column should be showing percentages, ranging from
50% to 100%. Apply conditional formatting such that percentages
greater than 60 are highlighted. Additionally apply data bars on the
column. (Apply clear formatting after the task)
2. Now apply conditional formatting in such a way that those students
who have percentages greater than 90% to be highlighted green.
Those between 50% and 90%, yellow and less than 50%, should be red.
3. Additionally apply data bars on all the values of the percentage
column.
Exercise 02:
Create the worksheet containing the result of your class
according to the template given below. The requirements are

Insert data of at least 20 students.
Formatting should be proper (e.g. alignment of text).
Use excel formula bar for calculations or excel functions like auto sum
& average.
Also, print the grades of the students as well by using IF function.
Add average, minimum and maximum column to find out the average,
min and max of all Quizzes.
Additionally add “pass/fail” column and apply the formula on the total
