Excel Advanced

Hi,
I am working with creating data table on page 16 of the Excel 2003 Advanced documentation.
I can`t seem to get the example to work and I don`t know what I am doing wrong.
Can anyone please help me?

Thank you

Best regards

Stefania

Hello Stefenia

Thank you for your question and apologies for the delay in response.

I am assuming that you are referring to the practice activity that uses the file called Lookup practice, on the 1v data table sheet.

First you will need to select cell G6 to put your formula into.

Then enter the formula:
=PMT(10%/12,C6,B6)

Then select from F6 down to G21.

Go to Data - Table.

click next to Column input cell and select cell C6.

Click OK.

The table should fill with all the results.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda

Hi Amanda,

Unfortunately this is not the item I am talking about.
In the documentation "MS Excel 2003 Advanced, Reference Manual" that we are able to take away with us from the course, on page 16 and 17 there begins the section about Creating Data Tables.

Anyway, I tried to recreate the examples that are there and they are not working, so I am confused and want to know where I am going wrong, I follow the examples to the letter but then nothing happens or works like it says it is supposed to.

Can you help me with this please?

Thank you.

Hello Stefania

I found the example you are referring to, and the book doesn't explain how to set it up correctly.

I've attached a file for you with the example, and a few instructions - hopefully it will work for you.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Adding date and time

Here are two quick ways to add the date and time to your spreadsheet:

1) Type =NOW(), which displays both date and time in the same cell
or
2) Hold Ctrl and type the colon (:) into one cell for the date and the semi-colon(;)into another for the time.

Note that =NOW() updates to the current date/time whenever the spreadsheet recalculates.
