DESIGNING A SPREADSHEET

Good worksheet design depends on;

Careful consideration of the task to be performed by the worksheet Effective pre-planning Adherence to basic principles of worksheet design.

The basic principles demand that your worksheet should;

Reliably provide the solution to the problem Use a layout and style that both clarify and enhance the information to be conveyed To able to be understood by end users Be easily updated Be able to be edited by others (if necessary) Be protected from unauthorised changes (if necessary) Be time and cost efficient Be memory efficient

The following will help you plan memory-efficient worksheets;

When you enter data, try to do it in a way that uses more columns than rows (memory usage is based on the number of rows so it will use less memory if you keep the rows to a minimum.

Do not leave blank rows in a worksheet to separate information. Alter the row height instead. Titles can be made just as effective by increasing the row height.

When formatting cells with borders or shading, format only the minimum number of cells.

General formatting guidelines;

Just because the data is

money doesn’t mean all figures need to be in $ with two decimal places!!! Headings over numbers look best right aligned.

Planning a Spreadsheet

What should the main heading be? Are subheadings needed? What should they be? Are there any fixed values (constants) that are needed in formulas? You need to

remember that any formulas that reference fixed values should do so using absolute cell references. These are best positioned in an area just under the headings but before the main body of the spreadsheet.

What are the names of the items about which you are entering data? The answer to this question will determine;

o How many rows you will needo The labels that will be needed for those rows.

Appropriate Appearance

Having developed a clear design and used sound formula construction techniques, the appearance of your spreadsheet can definitely aid in its usability and readability. Your spreadsheet can be enhanced with numeric, font, colour and border formats.

Some guidelines are important to remember.

What is the purpose of the spreadsheet? This will set the reason for any formatting.

Are there any appearance standards or requirements set by the client or workplace?

Some organisations may insist that spreadsheets are prepared following a particular

style. These style requirements may be defined in a Corporate Style Guide.

Will the formatting actually enhance the readability of the spreadsheet?

Just because the data is money doesn’t mean all the figures need to be in $ with two

decimal places.

Look at the three examples below;

Example 1

This is the raw data and labels. It is unformatted and difficult to read. Is the bottom row a Total row? It is hard to tell.

Example 2

Appropriate formatting is shown in the example below. Column labels are right aligned over numbers in bold, and separated by a border. Blank columns and rows are avoided which reduces inaccuracy of formulas. The , thousands separator is used. The decimal places are consistent. Columns are wide enough to visually access the data easily. Totals are clearly identifiable by borders.

This example is over formatted.

The only effect of the $ besides each numeric entry is to add to the clutter without adding any useful information

Different background and font colours for different segments of your spreadsheet, enable you to highlight important information and distinguish different areas of the spreadsheet. Use common sense with these formatting features.

Remember, the aim is not to dazzle, but to make your spreadsheet easier to use and understand.

There is an example of a blank spreadsheet on the following page. It can be used for the planning document if required. Print at least 11 copies of the blank spreadsheet for the planning of each exercise in this booklet.

You work for Showtime Spectacular, the booking service in the West End, London. Each morning you are required to calculate the cost of unsold tickets for shows for that day and calculate the income for each show in readiness for opening at 9.00 am. You need to work out the costing of the unsold tickets as listed below.

You are required to design a spreadsheet that will meet the above requirements. Information for your spreadsheet is as follows:

The shows on at the West End and the cost of tickets are: o Beauty and the Beast - $89.00, o Mamma Mia - $82.00, o Jersey Boys - $85.00, o We Will Rock You - $96.00, o Wicked - $108.00 and o Hairspray - $62.00

The discount per ticket is 50% of the ticket price for the matinee session and 40% of the ticket price for evening session (use absolute references)

Unsold tickets for each show are as follows: (These are the numbers to be used in your spreadsheet)

Beauty and the Beast – 30 – matinee session and 16 – evening sessionMamma Mia – 11 – matinee session and 20 – evening sessionJersey Boys – 23 – matinee session and 35 – evening sessionWe Will Rock You – 40 – matinee session and 5 – evening sessionWicked – 3 – matinee session and 12 – evening sessionHairspray – 22 - matinee session and 12 – evening session.

MACROS

What is a macro?

Simply put, a macro is a set of keystrokes and instructions that are recorded and saved under a short key code or macro name. A macro can be a bunch of commands grouped together as a single command to accomplish a task automatically. Command meaning, click on the B button to make text bold, apply a certain margin or changing orientation. A macro is a like a computer programme that you create to make your computing life easier and more efficient. By rolling a number of actions into one shortcut a long list of actions are automated.

To record a macro

When you record a macro, the macro recorder records all the steps required to complete the actions that you want your macro to perform.

1. If the Developer tab is not available, do the following to display it:

1. Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.

2. In the Popular category, under Top options for working with Excel, select the Show Developer tab in the Ribbon check box, and then click OK.

2. To set the security level temporarily to enable all macros, do the following:

1. On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Macro Security.

2. Under Macro Settings, click Enable all macros (not recommended, potentially dangerous code can run), and then click OK.

3. On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Record Macro.

4. In the Macro name box, enter a name for the macro. The first character of the macro name must be a letter. Subsequent characters can be letters, numbers, or underscore characters. Spaces cannot be used in a macro name; an underscore character works well as a word separator. If you use a macro name that is also a cell reference, you may get an error message that the macro name is not valid.

5. To assign a CTRL combination to run the macro, in the Shortcut key box, type any lowercase letter or uppercase letter that you want to use. The shortcut key will override any equivalent default Excel shortcut key while the workbook that contains the macro is open.

/tt/file_convert/5ac3c6677f8b9a5c558c3147/document.docx Page 17 of 21

6. In the Store macro in list, select the workbook where you want to store the macro. If you want a macro to be available whenever you use Excel, select Personal Macro Workbook. When you select Personal Macro Workbook, Excel creates a hidden personal macro workbook (Personal.xlsb) if it does not already exist, and saves the macro in this workbook.

7. In the Description box, type a description of the macro.

8. Click OK to start recording.

9. Perform the actions that you want to record.

10. On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Stop Recording . You can also click Stop Recording on the left side of the status bar.

Produce Spreadsheets Activity 10You work for HotData, survey consultants. This month’s survey involves collating data on vehicle sales for the North Coast and New England Tablelands regions. Surveys are done weekly for 4 weeks throughout April and May when data is available. The surveys are charged to an external source at the following rates:

North Coast $380New England Tablelands $290

The areas surveyed are as follows:

North CoastCoffs Harbour, Sawtell, Nambucca Heads, New England TablelandsArmidale, Uralla and Guyra.

The sales figures found in each survey are shown below:

Coffs Harbour - $85,000 $250,000 $275,000 $600,000

Sawtell - $550,000 $800,000 $200,000 $450,000

Nambucca Heads - $900,000 $550,000 $1,200,000 $350,000

Armidale - $600,000 $400,000 $220,000 $400,000

Guyra - $300,000 $220,000 $90,000 $150,000

You need to include a column showing number of surveys for each area so you can calculate the cost of the surveys. The cost of each survey in the North Coast region is $125, while the cost of each survey in the New England Tablelands area is $88. (use an Absolute Reference).

Other calculations required are:a. Total sales for each areab. Total sales for each regionc. Total cost of surveys for each aread. Minimum sales for each regione. Maximum sales for each region.

Add an appropriate heading and subheading. Create a chart comparing the total sales for all areas. Place

on a separate worksheet. Create a macro that changes the page orientation to landscape and centres the

workbook horizontally and vertically on the page. Demonstrate this macro to your teacher.

Insert your name and date in the footer and the worksheet name in the header. Print a copy of your worksheet, showing formulae and fitting onto one page. Print a copy of your worksheet, showing results of calculations.
