PROJECT STEPS
- Malai Wattana is the director of social media for Orange Tree Labs, a software
company in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Malai and her colleagues post content
on the Orange Tree website and on social media sites to promote the company
and its products. She asks for your help in analyzing the user response to this
content. She also needs to complete a schedule for launching a website for a
new product.
Go to the Overview worksheet. In the range B5:B9, Malai wants to consolidate
data that summarizes user responses to the Orange Tree website. In cell B5,
insert a formula that references cell B17 on the Website worksheet to insert the
total number of page views on the website during the last 12 weeks. Insert
similar formulas in the range B6:B9 to insert the totals for likes, comments,
shares, and follows on the website during the last 12 weeks. - The doughnut chart in the range H4:K12 compares the totals of each type of
user response. Resize the chart proportionally to a width of 5″ to make the chart
easier to interpret. Position the chart so that the upper-left corner is in cell H4
and the lower-right corner is in cell M22. - Malai has formatted cell A3 to indicate that it contains a table title. Create a
new cell style named Table Title based on the formats in cell A3. Apply the
new Table Title style to cells A12 and A18. - In the range A13:E16, Malai wants to include data about the types of posts the
company makes on their website and social media webpages. This data is
stored in a text file. Import the CSV file Support_EX365_2021_EOM5-
2_Posts.csv as a table starting in cell A13 of the existing worksheet. [Mac Hint:
Use column delimation while importing the .csv file.]
- Apply the Orange, Table Style Light 11 style to the table to use a format similar
to the other data ranges on the worksheet. Clear the formats from the header
row and the range A14:A16. Resize columns B:E to a width of 11.88 characters. - In the range A19:F32, Malai wants to summarize the weekly engagement data
for the Orange Tree Labs website, Facebook, and Twitter interactions.
In cell B20, enter a formula using the SUM function and a 3D reference to total
the number of page views in Week 1 (cell B5) for the website, Facebook, and
Twitter. Fill the range B21:B31 with the formula in cell B20 to consolidate the
total page view data for the remaining weeks. Fill the range C20:F31 with the
formulas in the range B20:B31 to consolidate the data for likes, comments,
shares, and follows. - Go to the Website worksheet. Use the text in the range A5:A6 to fill the range
A7:A16 with the week numbers. - Malai has set a goal of 400 page views per week on the Orange Tree Labs
website. In the range B21:E21, project the page views per week by filling the
series with a linear trend. She also wants to increase follows by 10 percent
every four weeks. In the range B23:E23, project the follows based on a growth
series using 1.10 as the step value. - Go to the Schedule worksheet, which contains the beginnings of a schedule for
developing the new website. In cell B3, enter a formula using the DATE function
to enter April 3, 2023 as the date. - For milestones 2–10, the dates are five days after the previous start date. To
exclude weekends for those days, enter a formula in cell C7 using the
WORKDAY function that adds five days to the date in cell C6. Fill the range
C8:C15 with the formula in cell C7 to complete the schedule. - Move the Website Project Timeline chart to the Overview worksheet. Position the
chart so its upper-left corner is in cell H23 and its lower-right corner is in cell
M36 on the Overview worksheet. Change the number format of the horizontal
axis values in the Website Project Timeline chart to display dates with an
abbreviated month name, a hyphen, and the year abbreviated, as in Mar-23. - Return to the Schedule worksheet to prepare it for printing. Set top and bottom
margins of 1″, and then center the worksheet vertically on the page. Insert a
footer that displays the Sheet Name in the center section.
