Summary Create a Microsoft Excel file with four worksheets that provides extensive use of Excel capabilities including creating a pivot table, graphing, and written analysis and recommendations in support of a business enterprise. A large rental car company has two metropolitan locations, one at the airport and another centrally located in downtown. It has been operating since 2015 and each location summarizes its car rental revenue quarterly. Both locations rent two classes of cars: economy and premium. Rental revenue is maintained separately for the two classes of rental vehicles. The data for this case resides in the file Excel Project 2-Data.txt and can be downloaded by clicking on the Assignments tab, then on the data tile name. It is a text file with the file type .txt). Do not create your own data. You must use the data provided and only the data provided. Requirement � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � a. Open Excel and save a blank worksheet with the � � � � following name: 1 � “Student’s First InitialLast Name Excel Project 2″� � � � � � � Example: JSmith Excel Project 2 � � � � � � � � b. Set Page Layout to Landscape � � � � � � � 2 � Change the name of the worksheet to Analysis by. � � � � � � � � In the Analysis by worksheet, enter the four labels � � � � vertically in column A in the following order: Name:, 3 � � � � Class/Section:, Project:, Date Due: with a row between � � � � each label, please note the colon, � : � � , after each label. � � � � It may be necessary to adjust the column width so the � � � � � � � � four labels are clearly visible. � � � � � � � � � � � � a. In the Analysis by worksheet, with all entries in � � � � column C, enter the appropriate values for Name, � � � � Class and Section, Project, Date Due. 4 � � � � � � � � � � � � � b. It may be necessary to adjust the column width so � � � � � � � � the four labels are clearly visible. � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Create new worksheets: Data, Initial Analysis, Profit 5 � � � � Analysis. Upon completion, there should be Analysis � � � � by as well as the three newly created worksheets. � � � � Delete any other worksheets. � � If necessary, reorder the four worksheets so they are in 6 � the following order: Analysis by, Data, Initial � � � � � � Analysis, Profit Analysis. � � � � � � � � � � � � In the Data worksheet, import the text file Excel � � Project 2-Data.txt. � � � � � Though the intent is to import the text file into the Data � � � � worksheet, sometimes when text data is imported into � � � � a worksheet, a new worksheet is created. If this � � � � happens, delete the blank Data worksheet, and then � � 7 � rename the new worksheet which HAS the recently � � � � imported data as “Data.”� It may be necessary to � � � � change Revenue to Currency format with NO decimal � � � � points and to change NumCars to Number format with � � � � NO decimal points, because of the import operation. � � � � � � � � � � � � � This may or may not occur, but in case it does it needs � � to be corrected. � � � � � � � � a. In the Data worksheet, create an Excel table with � � � � � � � � � the recently imported data. Pick a style with the � � styles group to format the table. The style � should � � highlight the field names in the first row. � � � � � b. Ensure NO blank spaces are part of the specified � � data range. Insure the table has headers. � Insure 8 � that Header Row and Banded Rows are selected in � � the Table Style Options Group Box. Do NOT check � � the Total Row. � � � � � � c. Delete all 2017 data. There should be one row for � � titles and thirty-two rows of data after the 2017 data � � is deleted. � � � � � d. There should be no column or data truncation. � � � � In the Data worksheet, select the table entire table � � (data and headers) using a mouse. � � � 9 � a. Copy the table to the Initial Analysis worksheet. � � The upper left hand corner of the header/data � � � � should be in cell A1. � � � � b. Adjust columns widths if necessary to insure all � � data and field names are readable. � � � � � � � a. Copy the entire table (column headings and data) to � � the Initial Analysis worksheet. Some column 10 � adjustments may be necessary to insure the field � � names as well as the data is all readable. � � � � � � � � � � � � b. Format all data, both text and numerical content, as � � Arial 10 normal � � � � � � 11 � a. In the Initial Analysis worksheet, using the table � � just copied there, create a Pivot Table. � � � � � � � � � � � � � b. It should be located a few columns to the right of � � the data and begin in Row 1. It should provide the � � combined revenue for Economy as well as Premium � � class cars, and display the total revenue for both � � � � Airport and Downtown locations, and include a total � � � � of all revenue for each location and each vehicle � � � � type. � � � � � � � � a. In the Initial Analysis worksheet, create a graph � � that shows the total revenue for both vehicle types � � at each location. � � b. The upper left corner of the graph should be one or 12 � two rows below the above referenced pivot table � � and left aligned with the pivot table. � � c. Insure the location and type of car is clearly � � indicated in the graph. Only use 2015 and 2016 � � data. � � � � � � In the Initial Analysis worksheet, Question 1: Which � � location, for 2015 and 2016 combined, produced the � � most revenue? How much revenue was it? 13 � � � Label your response Question 1 � � � � � � � � � � a. From the Data worksheet, copy the entire table � � (column headings and data) to the Profit Analysis 14 � worksheet. � � b. Some column adjustments may be necessary to � � � � insure the field names as well as the data is all � � readable. � � � � In the Profit Analysis worksheet, in the column to the 15 � immediate right of NumCars label, create a label called � � Overhead. � � � � � � a. In the Profit Analysis worksheet, in the first cell 16 � only under the Overhead label, calculate the � � overhead that corresponds to the number of � � NumCars (number of cars rented). � � b. Use an IF statement in the calculation to determine � � whether to use $50 or $75 times the NumCars so � � that the Overhead value represents the total � � Overhead costs for the Number of Cars (NumCars) � � � � rented. � � � � Overhead costs include maintenance, cleaning, and � � � � administrative expenses associated with a car rental. � � � � The Overhead for one rental transaction is $50 for an � � economy car and $75 for a premium car. This � � � � Overhead cost includes maintenance, cleaning, and � � administrative costs for each car rental. � � � � � � � � � � 17 � � � In the Profit Analysis worksheet, copy the formula to � � all the cells below in the column. � � Adjust the column width if necessary for legibility. � � � � � � In the Profit Analysis worksheet, in the next column to 18 � the right, create a label called Profit. � � � � � � In the Profit Analysis worksheet, profit represents the � � difference between Revenue and Overhead (Revenue � � “� Overhead). Profit is for all cars rented during the � � quarter. 19 � � � � � a. In the first cell below Profit, calculate the profit, � � � � then copy the formula for all cells in that column. � � � � b. Adjust the column width if necessary for legibility. � � � � In the Profit Analysis worksheet, in the next column to 20 � the right, create a label called Profit per Car � � � � � � a. In the Profit Analysis worksheet, in the next cell 21 � down under the Profit per Car label, calculate the � � profit per car rented. � � � � � � 22 In the Profit Analysis worksheet, create a Pivot Table that provides the total profit for Economy as well as Premium class cars rented as well as totals by location. Include a grand total profit for all cars rented. Only use 2015 and 2016 data. Position the upper left corner of the Pivot Table in Row A two columns to the right of the table in the Profit Analysis worksheet. 23 In the Profit Analysis worksheet, create a Pivot Table that shows the Average Profit per car, averaged by Car class and averaged by location. Only use 2015 and 2016 data. Position the upper left corner to align with the pivot table above and two rows below the pivot table above. The column and row categories should match those of the above pivot table.
