The last row needs to be adjusted to show
the total amount of all gifts sold per day, as well as for the week.
The first thing that needs to be done is to merge cells. To merge
cells, select the first two columns by dragging the mouse through
the cells, click Table on the Menu Toolbar, then select merge cells.
Continue to merge two cells at a time, leaving the last cell as one.
Refer to the table above.
Before you enter formulas, you must understand
the way the cells are aligned within the table. Columns are represented
by the letters of the alphabet, beginning with the letter A, and continuing
B, C, D, and so forth.
Rows are represented by numbers (1, 2,
3, 4, etc.) See the table below (Notice I have not included the last
row in the representation because you will not need to use any of
these cells for your formulas):
To understand where your formulas
and what numbers you will use, look at the table below. You now know
how the table is laid out so all you will need to do is enter formulas
that will automatically calculate the daily and weekly sales of each
sales item as well as the total amount for each day and the total sales
for the week.
Yellow-Where you will place
your formula
Red-The columns that contain the data you wish to calculate
You will need to enter a formula that will
multiply the number of items sold that day by the cost of each item.
Position the insertion point in D3 (check the table page layout document
above) and follow the directions below to enter a formula that will
automatically calculate daily and weekly sales:
Click Table and then Formula.
At the Formula dialog box, you want
to enter the formula =B3*C3 to multiply the cost of the item (B3)
by the number sold (C3)
Click OK
$95.40 should now appear in the cell
Continue to enter formulas across cells
multiplying (*) the cost of the item by the number sold. Check your
answers on the calculator under Accessories on the Computer (Start>Program>Accessories>Calculator)
The Total for Week is the daily cost added
for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. You first need
to write down the cells where the daily cost are displayed. To calculate
the Total for Week:
Click Table then Formula
At the Formula Dialog Box, enter the following
formula to add the daily cost for the Chocolate Cell Phone:
First write down the daily sales cell
number for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (D3, F3,
H3, J3, L3)
You want to add (+) these numbers together,
so at the Formula Dialog Box, enter =(D3 + F3 + H3 + J3 + L3)
to add all the numbers in these cells together
Click OK
$1033.50 should now appear in the Total
Sold For Week Column
Continue entering formulas for the rest
of the gift items using the appropriate cells
The bottom row will hold the Total Sales of
all Gift Items Daily and Weekly. You will need to write down the cells
that hold the numbers that you will use to get the Daily and Weekly
Results. You will also split the cells into two rows in order to make
the data more acceptable to read.
To split the cell immediately to the right
of Total Sold Each Day:
Place your cursor in the cell you wish
to split
Click Table on the Menu Toolbar and Select
Split Cells
At the Split Cells Dialog box, the default
is to split columns into two columns, however, we want to split the
cell into two rows. Change the columns default of 2 to 1 and then
change the rows default of 1 to 2
Click OK
The cell should now be split horizontally
Continue with the next four cells (refer
to table example above)
Type the name of the week in the top of
the cell and you will enter a formula in the bottom of the cell
To Calculate the Total Daily Sales for Monday:
Write down the cells you want to add together
(D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8)
Place your cursor in the cell directly
under the cell that contains the word Monday
Click Table and then select Formula
At the Formula Dialog box, enter the formula
that will calculate the total amount of cells for Monday: =(D3 + D4
+ D5 + D6 + D7 + D8)
Continue entering formulas to calculate
the total for the remaining days of the week
