Questions to be answered in the assignment report.

Create a Table of Content for each question in the first Excel sheet. Each question should be
started on separate worksheet. Refer to tutorials and study material for creating a table of
content.

1. Create a macro on any dataset to get all the unique entries in a column on second
workbook which should automatically be opened. After clicking the macros button.
2. Take any financial data and draw charts with macros button to visualize the data (Take
different quarters of data on different worksheets). After creating a macro, highlight the
code if the chart needs to be changed (Let’s say from bar chart to line chart, how you will
modify the macros).
3. Do the formatting with macros before saving the file. Formatting should give a
professional look to that file with a single click of a button. (Marks will be depending on
how formatting is done)
4. Take a worksheet from question 2 and after copying the data to a new workbook, save it
as a pdf file with username of your laptop and current year.
