its use of a set of protocols called TCP/IP (for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Two
recent adaptations of Internet technology, the intranet and the extranet, also make use of the TCP/IP
protocol. Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds

Basic Formatting and Spreadsheet Manipulation

1. Add rows and columns to an existing spreadsheet
2. Reformat data (center, comma and currency styles, bold, text color)
3. Work with a simple formula (product) and function (sum)
Assignment
1. Create a workbook as shown below.
2. To enter new rows or columns, simply click on the row or column header to select the whole row
or column. Then right click with the mouse and choose insert.
3. Add the new row for S Spade with the data that’s shown below (between the original rows 7 and
8).
4. Add a column for gender and the data as shown below (between the original columns A and B).
Enter the appropriate gender for yourself in the last row.
A B C D
Name Male/Female Genre Number of Songs
J Smith F Blues 50
B Doe M Country 110
S Spade F Country 200
F Zappa M Blues 1400
F Zappa M Alternative 2300
J Smith F Alternative 150
S Spade F Blues 1000
B Doe M Blues 75
yourname M Blues 800
5. Center the data in columns B and C. Do this by selecting the whole column and click the center
icon on the ribbon.
6. Bold the data in row 1, the column headings (ensure that the data all remains visible within the
column boundaries).
7. Change the font color for row 1 to Blue.
8. Change the format of the data in column D to comma style (no decimal places showing).There is
an icon on the home tab that sets it to comma style easily.
9. Add two new column labels to the right of the current columns; Unit Price and Total Cost. (They
will be in columns E and F.) These two columns of data should be currency type so that the dollar
sign is shown. There is an icon to quickly format the selected column as currency type.
10. All tunes are $.99, so enter that value for all rows in Column E. You can copy quickly by using the
Auto Fill handle and drag that amount down. When you over your mouse over the tiny square in
17
the bottom right hand corner of the active cell, your mouse shape will become a skinny plus sign,
and you can click and drag that cell to make a copy.
11. Calculate Total Cost (column F) as column D times Column E. You will type in a formula like this
into cell F2: =D2*E2 (Be sure to begin the formula with an equal sign)
12. Use the AutoFill (skinny plus sign) again to copy the formula down column F; down to F10.
Double check the picture below to make sure yours has the correct values
13. Add a border to all of the cells (A1-f10) using the Borders tool in the Fonts group on the Home
Tab.
14. Change the page layout to landscape. Do this by clicking the Page Layout tab on the ribbon and
then to Orientation to Landscape.
15. Save the file.
16. Click in cell F11 and Use the sum function or the shortcut icon that looks like ∑ to get the total of
the Total Cost column.
17. Ensure that the data is all visible within the column boundaries. Make the columns wider if
needed.
18. Save the workbook. Your final spreadsheet should look like the following when printed.
Name Male/Female Genre Number of Songs Unit Price Total Cost
J Smith F Blues 50 $ 0.99 $ 49.50
B Doe M Country 110 $ 0.99 $ 108.90
