EXCEL CHALLENGE
This project contains the use of a simple formula a complex formula and a nested IF function.
INSTRUCTIONS:
You will create the following grade book spreadsheet.
Tests = 25% Scale: A is 90 to 100
Projects = 10% B is 80 to 90 This is the information need to create the
Exam = 30% C is 70 – 80 formulas for the grade book sheet. (Hint:
D is 60 – 70 when figuring letter grade, may need to use
F is below 60 decimals like 89.5.
Create a spread sheet in Excel like this. Your job is to figure out the formulas to arrive at the answers as
shown.
What you need to know:
The class average for each assignment is a simple average
The student averages use a formula that weights the grade according to the chart above
The letter grade is a nested IF function. (Go to help and look up “IF Formula”)
Place the formula used to get the answer on the correct line.
B7: _______________________________________ C7 ___________________________________
D7: _______________________________________ E7 ___________________________________
F7: _______________________________________ G7 ___________________________________
G2: _______________________________________ G3 ___________________________________
G4: _______________________________________ G5 ___________________________________
H2: __________________________________________________________________________________
H3 __________________________________________________________________________________
H4: __________________________________________________________________________________
H5 __________________________________________________________________________________
After creating the spreadsheet and figuring out the formulas, create a column graph of the student’s scores.
Turn in the Excel sheet and this sheet together.
Write clearly when recording the formulas. Make sure all commas, parenthesis and everything are included.
