Data tables can significantly slow down Excel and other programs.

The Manual setting will require the user to frequently recalculate the workbook in order to display correctly. "Iterate" is not a setting for workbook calculation in Excel; iterative calculation is a toggle for users to set for workbooks that may have circular calculations.q To add a cell reference from a different worksheet into an existing formula with your keyboard, you should follow the following steps: 1.

Alt a w t is a shortcut to build data tables. Please select the answer that best describes the shortcut to Split (not freeze) an excel sheet into just two panes (top and bottom) To navigate from pane to pane 1. Anywhere in the Excel worksheet hit Alt W S to split the panes to a top and bottom. 2. Hit F6 to jump from pane to pane (in some versions of Excel you will need to hit F6 several times to get from one pane to the other). 1. With the active cell on any row but in column A, hit Alt W S to split the panes to a top and bottom. 2. Hit F6 to jump from pane to pane (in some versions of Excel you will need to hit F6 several times to get from one pane to the other). 1. With the active cell on any column but in row 1, hit Alt W S to split the panes to a top and bottom. 2. Hit F6 to jump from pane to pane (in some versions of Excel you will need to hit F6 several times to get from one pane to the other). - >>>The correct answer is: With the active cell on any row but in column A, hit Alt w s to split the panes to a top and bottom.

Identify the formula that will output 2016 expenses (55). =OFFSET(B1,3,2) =OFFSET(B1,2,3) =OFFSET(A1,2,2) =OFFSET(A1,3,3) - >>>The correct answer is: =OFFSET(A1,2,2) =OFFSET(B1,3,2) will return 65. =OFFSET(B1,2,3) will return (75). =OFFSET(A1,3,3) will return 55. Identify the formula that will output 2016 expenses: =CHOOSE(2,B3:D3) =CHOOSE(2,B3,C3,D3) =CHOOSE(2,A3,B3,C3,D3) - >>>The correct answer is: =CHOOSE(2,B3,C3,D3) =CHOOSE(2,B3:D3) is not valid syntax for this formula; cells must be individually selected. =CHOOSE(2,A3,B3,C3,D3) will output 2015 expenses. Identify the formula that outputs 2016 expenses. =VLOOKUP("Expenses",A1:D4,3,1) =VLOOKUP("Expenses",A1:D4,3) =VLOOKUP(2016,A1:D4,3) =VLOOKUP("Expenses",A1:D4,3,0) - >>>The correct answer is: =VLOOKUP("Expenses",A1:D4,3,0) =VLOOKUP("Expenses",A1:D4,3,1) looks for an approximate match and requires that the reference range be in ascending order. =VLOOKUP("Expenses",A1:D4,3) also looks for an approximate match as specified by match type 1, and requires that the reference range be in ascending order. Identify the formula that outputs data from the table based on the user inputs in cells C6 and C7. =OFFSET(A1,MATCH(C6,A2:A4),MATCH(C7,B1:D1)) =OFFSET(B1,MATCH(C6,A2:A4,0),MATCH(C7,B1:D1)) =OFFSET(A1,MATCH(C6,A2:A4,0),MATCH(C7,B1:D1)) =OFFSET(A1,MATCH(C7,B1:D1),MATCH(C7,A2:A4,0)) - >>>The correct answer is: =OFFSET(A1, MATCH(C6,A2:A4,0),MATCH(C7,B1:D1)). =OFFSET(A1,MATCH(C6,A2:A4),MATCH(C7,B1:D1)) does not return the correct value because an exact match is not specified for the MATCH function used for the 'row' argument of the OFFSET function. =OFFSET(B1,MATCH(C6,A2:A4,0),MATCH(C7,B1:D1)) uses an incorrect cell reference for the reference argument of the OFFSET function, which must be in the upper left corner of the table. =OFFSET(A1,MATCH(C7,B1:D1),MATCH(C7,A2:A4,0)) reverses the MATCH functions used for the row and column references in the OFFSET function, returning #N/A. What INDEX & MATCH combo will create a dynamic reference based on whatever metric and date you input in cells F10 and F11, respectively? =INDEX(D6:H8,MATCH(F10,C6:C8,0),MATCH(F11,D5:H5,0)) =INDEX(D6:H8,MATCH(F10,C6:C8,1),MATCH(F11,D5:H5,0)) =INDEX(D6:H8,MATCH(F10,C6:C8,1),MATCH(F11,D5:H5,1)) =INDEX(D6:H8,MATCH(F10,C6:C8,0),4) - >>>The correct answer is: =INDEX(D6:H8,MATCH(F10,C6:C8,0),MATCH(F11,D5:H5,0)). =INDEX(D6:H8,MATCH(F10,C6:C8,1),MATCH(F11,D5:H5,0)) uses match type 1 for the first argument, which requires values to be in ascending order, and is not valid for this reference. =INDEX(D6:H8,MATCH(F10,C6:C8,1),MATCH(F11,D5:H5,1)) uses match type 1 for both MATCH function, which requires values to be in ascending order, and is not valid for this reference. =INDEX(D6:H8,MATCH(F10,C6:C8,0),4) selects the fourth column instead of the fifth, and is static; it will not change if a different date is entered. Below is a Data Table designed to display the effect on 2015 Net Profit based of changes in 2015 Revenue Growth and 2015 COGS %. Please provide: The cell reference required in D22. The row input cell required by the Data Table. The column input cell required by the Data Table. Provide all three cell references, in order above, separated by commas with no space (i.e. A1,A2,A3) Note: Do not include spaces within answer - >>>The correct answer is: E8,E10,E11 E8 is the cell reference for 2018 Net Income, the output variable, which must be in the top left corner of the table. E10, the 2015 revenue growth rate, is the row input cell, the variable that is being sensitized in the top row of the table. E11, the COGS %, is the column input variable that is being sensitized. Identify the formula that sums the property values of properties in Boston. =SUMIF(B2:B5,"Boston",C2:C5) =SUMIF(C2:C5,"Boston",B2:B5) =SUMIF(C2:C5,Boston,B2:B5) - >>>The correct answer is: =SUMIF(C2:C5,"Boston",B2:B5) =SUMIF(B2:B5,"Boston",C2:C5) does not use the correct range for matching with the sum criteria =SUMIF(C2:C5,Boston,B2:B5) does not use quotes for "Boston", which will return an error Identify the formula that outputs the sum of property values for properties in Boston that were built after 1950. =SUMIFS(B2:B5,C2:C5,"Boston",D2:D5,">1950") =SUMIFS(C2:C5,"Boston",D2:D5,">1950",B2:B5)
