Summary
Create a Microsoft Excel workbook with four worksheets that
provides extensive use of Excel capabilities
including charting, and written analysis and recommendations in
support of a business enterprise.
A large rental car company has two metropolitan locations, one
at the airport and another centrally located in
downtown. It has been operating since 2015 and each location
summarizes its car rental revenue
quarterly. Both locations rent four classes of cars: economy,
premium, hybrid, SUV. Rental revenue is
maintained separately for the four classes of rental vehicles.
The data for this case resides in the file
summer2019rentalcars.txt and can be downloaded by clicking
on the
Assignments tab, then on the data file name. It is a text file

(with the file type .txt).
Do not create your own data. You must use the data provided
and only the data provided.

a. Create new worksheets:
Data, Initial Analysis, and Profit Analysis
Upon completion, there should be Analysis by as well
as the three newly created worksheets.
b. Delete any other worksheets.
Note: The three new worksheets might not have Arial 10 point
as
the default type so it may be necessary to change the font and
point to Arial 10 for the new worksheets.
6
If necessary, reorder the four worksheets so they are in the

following
order: Analysis by, Data, Initial Analysis, Profit Analysis.
7
After clicking on the blank cell A1 (to select it) in the Data
worksheet, import the text file summer2019rentalcars.txt into
the
Data worksheet. The data should begin in Column A, Row 1.
It will be necessary to change Revenue data to Currency format
($
and comma (thousands separators) with NO decimal points, and
to
change NumCars data to number format, with NO decimal
points,
but with the comma (thousands separator). Note: in the
Currency
format there is NO space between the $ and the first numeric
character that follows the $.
Though the intent is to import the text file into the Data
worksheet,
sometimes when text data is imported into a worksheet, a new
worksheet is created. If this happens, delete the blank Data
worksheet. Then change the name of the new worksheet with the
imported data as “Data”. Make sure worksheets are in the
correct
order per Item 6.

Format:
all data (field names,
data text, and data
numbers)
• Arial 10 point
• Normal font
The field names should
be in the top row of the
worksheet with the
data directly under it in
rows. This action may
not be necessary as
this is part
of the Excel table
creation process. The
data should begin in
column A.
Step

In the Data worksheet:
a. Create an Excel table with the recently imported data.
b. Pick a style with the styles group to format the table
(choose a style that shows banded rows, i.e., rows that
alternate between 2 colors).
c. The style should highlight the field names in the first row.
d. Ensure NO blank cells are part of the specified data range.
e. Ensure the table has headers.
f. Ensure that Header Row and Banded Rows are selected in
the Table Style Options Group Box, but do NOT select a
Total row.
Some adjustment may
be necessary to
column widths to

ensure all field names
and all data are
readable (not truncated
or obscured).

In the Initial Analysis worksheet, using the Excel table just
copied
there:
a. Create a Pivot Table using all 2015 and 2016 data.
b. Locate the top edge of the Pivot Table at the top edge of
Row 1 and a few columns to the right of the data.
c. Display the total revenue for all four types (CarClass) of
vehicles in four columns. (Put CarClass in the columns area
of the PivotTable fields)
d. Display the total revenue for both Airport and Downtown
locations in two rows . (Put Location in the rows area of the
PivotTable fields). In the Pivot Table Fields set-up, DO NOT
put a check in the box for Quarter.
e. Row and column calculations (sum) are required so that the
total revenue for EACH location and the total revenue for
EACH CarClass are visible in the pivot table. There must be
a grand total that represents the sum of ALL revenue.
f. Ensure that the formatting is as listed in the Comments
column.
g. Left align both locations and Grand Total below and right
align four car classes and Grand Total to the right of the four
car classes in the pivot table.
h. Final step: Adjust column widths, if necessary, to eliminate
title and data truncation of the pivot table.

Format (for pivot table
label, text, data as
appropriate):
• Currency (leading
dollar sign) with no
space between the $
and the first number
• No decimal places
• Arial 10 point
• Normal font
• No title or data
truncation in the
pivot table.
• Right-align the five
column labels.
12
In the Initial Analysis worksheet, using the pivot table:
a. Create a column or bar type of chart that shows the total
revenue for each of the four vehicle types at each location.
b. Add a title that reflects the information presented by the
chart.
c. The upper left corner of the chart should be one or two rows

below the above referenced pivot table and left-aligned with
the pivot table.
d. The chart should clearly indicate location and type of car.
The chart should allow a
viewer to determine
approximate revenue
totals for each vehicle
total revenue at each
location.
The chart should have
no more than 8 bars or
columns.
For the two questions that follow, present your answers in the
Initial Analysis worksheet in a very
readable format. These answers should be placed on the page
below the pivot table and chart Do not let
the answers be "split" over more than one page. You can type
your answer in one cell, then highlighting

and selecting several rows and columns, selecting merge cells
and selecting Wrap Text. Do NOT widen
the columns as this will adversely impact the appearance of the
pivot tables above. You will want to
change the text from Center to Left justification. Play with this
a bit. If you simply type your answer on a
single line, that will also be ok. Be sure the entire answer can
be read without the reader having to
change any formatting, scroll horizontally, or view the results
in the cell contents box. Use Currency
(leading dollar sign) with no space between the $ and the first
number format for dollar figures.

Expenses costs include maintenance, cleaning, and
administrative
expenses associated for a car rental. The Expenses for one
rental
transaction will be determined from the values specified in the
worksheet. DO NOT enter the values in this column on a cell by
cell
basis.
a. In the first cell directly under the Expenses label, calculate
the
total Expenses that corresponds to the number of cars rented
IN THAT ROW (NumCars) using an "IF" statement to as part
of the formula to determine the value of Expenses for one
vehicle.
b. First, use the "IF" statement to determine the single vehicle
Expenses (by comparing the values in the “CarClass”
column and second, edit the cell contents to multiply it by the
NumCars so that the Expenses value represents the total
Expenses costs for the Number of Cars (NumCars) rented
that row. Expenses = Numcars * Expense per Car

c. Use the absolute cell address for the numerical Expenses
value for ONE vehicle which should then be multiplied by the
number of cars in each row.
d. Adjust column width as needed to eliminate truncation after
format adjustments.
Note: the use of absolute cell addresses allows those Expenses
values to be changed and then by recalculation, update the
entire
Excel table. It can be helpful to double-check a hybrid and a
non-
hybrid row with a calculator for calculation accuracy.
Format:
space between the $
and the first number.

In the Profit Analysis Worksheet:
a. In the first cell directly under the Profit label, calculate total

profit by subtracting Expenses from revenue (should be a
positive number). (Revenue – Expenses). Then repeat the
formula for each row below.
b. In the first cell directly under the ProfitperCar label, divide
Profit by NumCars (Profit/Numcars). Then repeat the formula
for each row below.
c. Adjust column widths as needed to eliminate truncation after
formatting.
Verifying the accuracy of a few cells calculation with a
calculator can
be helpful.
