Excel Project

Working with Excel to complete the project was relatively simple. The scavenger hunt and video tutorials made following the instructions much easier. I have only used Excel in college classes and have no real world experience with the program. I can imagine that many working, online students would find the project even easier.
In the past, I have used Excel functions in finance, math and computer classes. I've mainly used the basic functions like sum, divide and multiply. I had used various pages of data and made charts. In this project, I learned and applied the fixed cell function by utilizing the dollar sign before each letter and number. I was surprised I hadn't learned that before.
It was interesting to see how easy it was to apply data to a pivot table. I used two pivot tables for the assignment and the work went quickly. I wasn't sure if there was a better way to do a screen capture and using Excels help had no real help, so... here it is.
