Manage to change the paper orientation to landscape and set all the margins to “Narrow”. Customize header and footer according to the model

Finally, check that all the data fits on one single page and that the content is perfectly centered both horizontally and vertically in front of the page.

Exercise #2
Part 1 – Formulas and Formatting
In this exercise you must modify the workbook “Exercise2” in order to comply to the model found in the pdf document “Exercise2-model.pdf”.
The first worksheet contains the data to be used for the graphs.

You must set the presentation to be the closest you can to the model.

Part 2 – Building a chart

Using the salaries for each month and each worker and their first name manage to build the alone chart (the tab’s text must be “Salaries”) you can
see below. This chart is a stacked 3-D column chart. Note that the chart’s wall must use the picture background.jpg you’ll find on K2 (with a
transparency of 40%). All the data labels must be visible, bold using a white font for the month of January and March and a black font for February.
