 To perform the task requested by my client Professor Duberrie I used the Microsoft Excel
program to compute many long and difficult mathematical tasks. This Program helps us perform
these mathematical equations faster than humanly possible. Prof. Duberrie has requested to
create and complete a breakdown of his class grades specifically wanting his student names in
alphabetical order. Furthermore, finalizing his class grades by Assignments worth a total of 20%,
Mid-Term 35% and the Final worth 45%. He also wants his class grades separated into separate
categories such as A+ all the way down to F. All these tasks would have been a long a tedious to
perform, thankfully Microsoft Excel allows its users to self-program equations needed to be
performed. Technological advancements in Excel come with many pre-set algorithms that
completes a task with a few clicks of your mouse without having to write equations. The
following paragraph will break down in detail how I used to excel to the best of my ability to
help me complete my client’s tasks with each formula starting with = or + to allow the program
to read what you are writing as a formula.

To perform the first task, I had to make a table of 16 rows by 6 columns in order to create
my headers and in the first row. These headers were represented as:

The table was filled out in the order Prof. Duberrie has given me. The first three columns
rs e
would be filled by the personal identification of each student and the next three columns would
ou urc
be the personal grade of each student in terms of (%) on that assessment. This graph looked like
this:

In order to get these plugins in alphabetical order, Excel has a written code to filter a
sh

selected column alphabetically in the Data names A-Z. Once the first column was selected this
button was pressed and it automatically filtered each name by alphabet and the rest of the cells
attached to that name was arranged as well. After this task was done I added a clear format to the
chart giving it a more aesthetically pleasing look as well as making it easier to follow rows. This
first chart was then finished with a last row filled with the class average for each assessment.
This was performed by selecting all numbers in a row (for example assignment row) and typed in

 a formula in the cell I wanted the average to show. This code was written as
=AVERAGE(E8:E21), E8 being the first cell in the row and E21 being the last cell in the row.
This allowed Excel to read the program and add all numbers up and find the class average for
that column (assignments). The next two assessments were programed the same way in
accordance to their cell numbers. The first Final graph looked like:

As for my second chart I started off by creating a table of 16 rows and 8 columns. This
aC s

table will represent each student’s weighted average grade for each assessment as well as their
vi y re

final class grade in terms of % and finally separating each student’s final grade into specific
categories as asked (A+ - F). Instead of refilling each cell by hand I copied the inputs in the first
table and pasted it into the second table.

In order to get the weighted average of each assessment (20%,35%,45%), once again I
used another pre-programmed coding feature of Excel. I first wrote down 20%, 35% and 45% in
three different cells out of the table (R8, R9, R10). Secondly, I clicked the cell 20% and copied it.
sh

Next step I highlighted the row in which 20% was the weighted average ( Assignments) and
clicked special paste. This opened up a system allowing me to choose multiply each value in the
highlighted cell by the selected cell of 20%. The steps are the same for the next two assessments
with its respected cell %.

 Finally, there are two columns left unfilled (Final Student Mark and Grade). This cell was
filled out by once again hand writing a code to automatically add the three weighted averaged
together. Once highlighted the row needed to be inputted the code was written as =L8+M8+N8.
This allowed Excel to read add cell L8+M8+N8 as well as all the cells highlighted. Now all
student grades were added and finalized this is where I self-analyzed each grade and placed them
in the right group:

Grade total
A+ 90
A 85 - 90-
A- 80 - 85-
B+ 77 - 80-
B 73 - 77-
B- 70 - 73-
C 60 - 70-
F 60-

Once again, the final class average was calculated and added a different colour clear format to

The final request given by Professor Duberrie was to give a graph representing statistical
distribution, therefore Excel allowed me to take my table and automatically transfer it into a line
graph for class statistical distribution per assessment as well as a bar graph for individual student
statistical distribution.
