Summary Create a Microsoft Excel file with four worksheets that provides extensive use of Excel capabilities for graphing. The graphs will be copied into a Microsoft PowerPoint file and the student will develop appropriate findings and recommendations based on analysis of the data. 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 3-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. Element # Requirement Points Allocated Comments 1 - Open Excel and save a blank worksheet with the following name: 1 a.“Student’s First InitialLast Name Excel Project 1” 0.2 Example: JSmith Excel Project 1 b.

In the Data worksheet, import the text file Excel Project 3.txt. 0.5 Arial 10 point Bold Align values left in the cells The field names should be in the top row of the worksheet with the data directly under it in rows. This action may not be necessary as this is part of the Excel table creation process. The data should begin in Column A. a. In the Data worksheet, create an Excel table with the recently imported data. 8 b. Pick a style with the styles group to format the table. c. The style should highlight the field names in the first row. 0.6 d. Ensure NO blank spaces are part of the specified data range. Insure the table has headers. 9 e. Insure that Header Row and Banded Rows are selected in the Table Style Options Group Box. f. Do NOT check the Total Row. In the Data worksheet, delete rows that contain 2015 data as well as 2017 data. The resulting table should consist of Row 1labels followed by 2016 data, with NO empty cell rows within the table. 0.2 a. In the Data worksheet, select the entire table (data and headers) using a mouse. 10 b. Copy the table to the both the Slide 2 as well as the Slide 3 worksheets. 0.1 c. The upper lefthand corner of the header/data should be in cell A1. 11 d. Adjust columns widths if necessary to insure all data and field names are readable. In the Slide 2 worksheet, based solely on the 2016 data: a. Create a Pivot Table that provides a quarterly breakdown (columns) of the number of car rentals by car class (rows). Totals for rows and columns should be included. Numerical format with no decimal places and 12 Arial normal for the entire pivot table. Place the pivot table two rows below the data beginning in column A. b. Create a Pivot Table that provides a quarterly breakdown (columns) of number the of cars rentals by location (rows). Totals for rows and columns should be included. Numerical format with no decimal places and 12 Arial normal for the entire pivot table. Place this pivot table two rows below the above pivot table beginning in column A. 2.0 Some adjustment may be necessary to column widths to insure all field names and all data are readable (not truncated or obscured). 12 In the Slide 2 worksheet, based solely on the 2016 data: a. Using the pivot table created in 11 a, create a bar graph that displays the number of car rentals by car class for the four 2016 quarters. Ensure both car types and quarters are clearly visible. Position the top of the graph in row 1 and two or three columns to the right of the data table. Use this same type of bar graph throughout this project the remaining three graphs. 1.6 b. Using the pivot table created in 11 b, create a bar graph that displays the number of car rentals by location for the four 2016 quarters. Ensure both locations and quarters are clearly visible. Left align this graph with the left side of the first graph and below it. The same type of bar graph should be used throughout this project. In the Slide 3 worksheet, based solely on the 2016 data: 13 a. Create a Pivot Table that provides a quarterly breakdown (columns) of the revenue from car rentals by car class (rows). Totals for rows and columns should be included. Numerical format currency with no decimal places and 12 Arial normal for the entire pivot table. Place the pivot table two rows below the data beginning in column A. b. Create a Pivot Table that provides a quarterly breakdown (columns) of the revenue from cars rentals by location (rows).
