salesperson?
9. Click inside the boxes next to the Salesperson and Order Amountfields.
10. The selected fields are added to one of the four areas below the PivotTable Fields. In
this exercise, the Salesperson field is added to the Rows area, while the Order
mounthas been added to the Valuesarea.
The PivotTable will calculate and summarize the selected fields. In this exercise, the PivotTable shows the
amount sold by each salesperson.
by each salesperson
You can sort the data on your PivotTable by using the Sort & Filter button, located on the
Home ribbon.

OBJECTIVE:Creating a scenario summary report
INTRODUCTION: A scenario is a set of input values that you can substitute in a worksheet
to perform what-if analysis. For example, you could create scenarios to show various interest rates,
loan amounts, and terms for a mortgage. Excel’s scenario manager lets you create and store
different scenarios in the same worksheet.
If you already have cells selected, the Changing cells field will already be populated with
your selection. If you didn’t select cells up front, you’ll have to specify the cells here.
7. Click OK.
The Scenario Values dialog box appears, showing each of the variable cells you selected.
If you name the worksheet cells you're changing, the cell names appear here, making it
easy to tell what value you're working with.
8. Update any values you want to see for the given scenario.
To make sure you don’t lose the original values for the changing cells, use the original cell
values in the first scenario you create.
9. Click OK.
10. The scenario is added and is listed in the Scenario Manager. If you click Add, the Add
Scenario dialog box appears again so you can add another scenario.
Repeat steps 5-9 to add all the desired scenarios.
11. Select the scenario you want to view.
12. Click the Show button.
The worksheet’s values are changed to the values you specified in the scenario. You can select
any scenario here to update the values in your spreadsheet.

OBJECTIVE:Goal Seek in Excel
INTRODUCTION:When you know the desired result of a single formula, but not the values
the formula needs for the result, you can use the Goal Seek feature. For example, you can afford a
$1,800 monthly payment, so how much of a loan can you take out? When goal seeking, Excel
plugs different values into a cell until it finds one that works.
USE GOAL SEEK:
1. Click the Data tab on the ribbon.
2. Click the What-If Analysis button.
3. Select Goal Seek.
Clicking Cancel closes the dialog box and restores the original worksheet values.Excel
replaces the original values and the desired result is calculated.

OBJECTIVE:Goal Seek in Excel
INTRODUCTION:There are two ways to create a macro: by recording them or by writing
them in Excel’s Visual Basic programming language. This lesson explains the easy way to create
a macro—by recording the task(s) you want the macro to execute for you.
RECORD A MACRO:
When you create a macro, imagine you’re being recorded; every step you make is being tracked—
all your commands, the data you enter, even any mistakes you make. Before recording a macro,
it’s helpful to write down a script that contains all the steps you want the macro to record. Practice
or rehearse your script a couple times, to make sure it works, before you actually record it. If you
do make a mistake while recording a macro, don’t worry—you can always delete the existing
macro and try again or edit the macro’s Visual Basic source code to fix the mistake.
1. If necessary, turn on the Developer tab.
2. Click the Developer tab.
3. Click the Record Macro button.
The Record Macro window opens, where you can set up the macro’s name, description,
and shortcut keys before you record it.
4. Type a name for the macro.
The name must start with a letter and can’t have any spaces, symbols, or punctuation
marks.
You may have quite a few macros in a file, so you’ll want to give it a descriptive name to
easily identify what it does.
5. (Optional) Assign a keyboard shortcut.
Make sure it's not something you commonly use, like Ctrl + C, which is copy.
6. Choose where to save the macro.
Personal Macro Workbook: The macro will be available in any Excel file you
work in.
New Workbook: Creates a new Excel file and stores the macro there.
This Workbook: Stores the macro in the current file. It will not be accessible in
any other Excel files you work in.
(Optional) Type a macro description.
While you don’t need to add a description, if you have a workbook that contains a number
of macros, a description can be really helpful.
Click OK to start the recording.
INTRODUCTION:This practical discusses the most common chart types, and sub-types,
supported by Excel.
Popular Pie Chart sub-types include Pie Chart in 3-D (2nd chart above), Exploded Pie Chart (3rd
chart above), and Exploded Pie in 3-D. Other sub-types include the Pie of Pie and Bar of Pie -
where a second pie or bar is created from certain values in the first pie. To customize, right-click
on the segment in the first pie and select "Format Data Point."
THE COLUMN CHART
The Column Chart effectively compares a single set of data points, but it shines when comparing
multiple series. Outlined in red, the image below shows the three data series we're charting. Notice
that we do not include the totals in our data series.
Because Excel uses a different color for each data series, it's easy to see how a single series changes
over time, or compare multiple series over a given time period. The Clustered Column Chart is
especially popular.
In a Column Chart, the vertical axis always displays numeric values, and the horizontal axis
displays time, names, or other category. By default, Excel plots whichever has the most entries,
row or column data, on the horizontal axis. For example, if plotting five rows and two columns,
row headings would reside along the horizontal axis. This can be flipped around by customizing
the Excel chart.
All Column Charts have three-dimension versions—the Stacked Column Chart is 3-D. But the "3-
D Column Chart" is special because the chart itself is three-dimensional using the X, Y, and Z
axes. The first chart below is a 3-D Column Chart of our data series.
The Line Chart is especially effective in displaying trends. The vertical axis (Y-axis) always
displays numeric values and the horizontal axis (X-axis) displays time or other category.
The first image shows the Line with Markers chart of our single data series. Markers—the circles,
squares, triangles, or other shapes which mark the data points—are optional, and Excel displays a
unique marker in shape and/or color for each data series.
The Line Chart is equally effective in displaying trends for multiple series as shown in the above
Line Chart without markers. Notice that each line is a different color.
Though not as colorful as the other charts, it is easy to see how effective the Line Chart in showing
a trend for a single series, and comparing trends for multiple series of data values.
Besides the Line Chart, we have the Stacked Line Chart and the 100% Stacked Line Chart - with
or without markers. A 3-D Line Chart is available, but the Line Chart does not display data well
in three dimension.
THE BAR CHART:
The Bar Chart is like a Column Chart lying on its side. The horizontal axis of a Bar Chart contains
the numeric values. The first chart below is the Bar Chart for our single series, Flowers.
When to use a Bar Chart versus a Column Chart depends on the type of data and user preference.
Sometimes it is worth the time to create both charts and compare the results. However, Bar Charts
do tend to display and compare a large number of series better than the other chart types.
All Bar Charts are available in 2-D and 3-D formats. Excel provides the Stacked Bar Chart and
100% Stacked Bar Chart. The second chart above is our 100% Stacked Bar Chart in 3-D. This sub-
type allows us to see what portion each data point has of of 100%.
As with the other chart types, new versions of Excel provide the option of using cylinders,
pyramids, or cones instead of bars.
Area Charts are like Line Charts except that the area below the plot line is solid. And like Line
Charts, Area Charts are used primarily to show trends over time or other category. The chart at
left is an Area Chart for our single series.
Also available are the Stacked Area Chart and 100% Stacked Area Chart. Each comes in 2-D
format and in true 3-D format with X, Y, and Z axes. The chart at right is our 3-D Area Chart and
effectively displays our three series.
In many cases, the 2-D version of the Area Chart displays multiple series of data poorly as series
with lesser values may be completely hidden. In the first chart below, Flowers is totally hidden,
and just a wee bit of Trees peaks through. Not an effective chart!
This problem does not occur in the Stacked Area Chart shown above or the 100% Stacked Area
Chart.
According to Scatter Plots (U. of Illinois), "Scatter plots are similar to line graphs in that they use
horizontal and vertical axes to plot data points. However, they have a very specific purpose. Scatter
plots show how much one variable is affected by another. The relationship between two variables
is called their correlation."
The series pair has a Positive Correlation if they increase similarly, and a Negative Correlation if
they both decrease in like manner. Otherwise, they have No Correlation.
Excel does not use labels from the worksheet to label the horizontal axis. It numbers the X-axis
chronologically.
The Scatter Chart comes in several different formats: markers can indicate the data points, and the
points can be unconnected or connected with smooth or straight lines. The first chart below is a
Scatter Chart with Only Markers, and the second chart is a Scatter Chart with Smooth Lines.
In general, markers work well when the number of data points is small, and smooth lines without
markers are often used when the number of data points is large. But it is best to try the different
sub-types to see which one best presents your data. For a good discussion on Scatter Plots,
see Scatter Plots - U. of Illinois.
