Copy and paste the contents of cell A4 into cell B5.

Delete rows 3 and 4.

Place in the header, centre aligned, the text Spreadsheet prepared by followed by a space, your
name, centre number and candidate number, then a space followed by on followed by a space
and today’s automated date, then a space followed by at followed by a space and the automated
time.

Save your spreadsheet with the file name project_centre number_candidate number, for example,
project_ZZ999_9999

Race_Time and LPF_Uplift in this order, with data and labels displayed in full. Do not group
the data
• sorts the data into ascending order of Country and descending order of LPF_Ratio
• has a page orientation of landscape
• fits a single page wide
• includes only the title GBR Category Results displayed in a larger font size, fully visible, at
the top of the page
• calculates the longest race time and places this at the end of the report, fully visible and right
aligned with the race times in the Race_Time column
• has the label Longest race time fully visible to the left of this value
• has your name, centre number and candidate number in the footer of the report so it appears
in the same position on every page.
