 Test your Skills: Named Ranges
1. A travel expenses template has been compiled for your company to make it easier for
staff to record their expenses when travelling to branches in other countries. It has
recently been updated and the named ranges have been damaged in the process so
most of the formulas are returning an error. You need to correct the named ranges to
fix the problem.

Have a look at the Travel Expense worksheet. Note there are quite a few errors. Start
by addressing the problem of the missing exchange rates by naming the ranges. Go
to the Currency Rates worksheet and use Create from Selection to name all the
rates (A4:B12) using the labels in column A.

7. Have a look at the worksheets Absences Term 1 through to Term 4, they contain a
list of dates that students were absent. We need to create a summary showing a count
of how many days each student was absent. Go to the Absence Report Sheet. Click
in A4, and then use the Consolidate tool to consolidate the data on the other
Absences sheets. The results look a bit odd, but that is because the count values
have been formatted as dates. Change the formatting to General or Number. Sort the
data by Total Absences. How many students were absent for more than 15 days?

8. Go to the Student Report worksheet. Some of the information still needs to be

completed. Create a formula in D4 to return the Student's full name, this should be
First Name followed by a space and then Surname. The case must also be corrected
