Incorrect - ANSWER ✔ Alt i w, Alt h i s, Shift F11 and Alt Shift F1 are all
keyboard shortcuts for adding more sheets to a workbook.
Alt h i w is not a valid shortcut.
2. What is a keyboard shortcut to open a file?
Ctrl o
Ctrl f
Alt o
Ctrl n - ANSWER ✔ The correct answer is Ctrl o.
Ctrl f is the shortcut to find, or find and replace, text on the worksheet. Alt o
is not a command. Ctrl n is the shortcut to open a new workbook.
3. What is the recommended workbook calculation setting for Excel?
Automatic
Manual
, Automatic except for Data Tables
Iterate - ANSWER ✔ The correct answer is "Automatic except for Data
Tables".
Data tables can significantly slow down Excel and other programs.
"Automatic", the default setting, will automatically calculate everything in
the workbook, including data tables, which will make the program run more
slowly. The Manual setting will require the user to frequently recalculate the
workbook in order to display correctly. "Iterate" is not a setting for
workbook calculation in Excel; iterative calculation is a toggle for users to
set for workbooks that may have circular calculations.q
4. Identify the formula that, based in user inputs in cells B1 and B2, outputs the
text "animal lover" for users who have at least 1 dog and at least one cat, and
outputs "lonely person" when those conditions are not met.
=IF(OR(B1>0,B2>0),"animal lover","lonely person")
=IF(AND(B1>1,B2>1),"animal lover","lonely person")
=IF(AND(B1>0,B2>0),"animal lover","lonely person")
=AND(IF(B1>0,"animal lover","lonely person"),IF(B2>0,"animal
lover","lonely person")) - ANSWER ✔ The correct answer is:
=IF(AND(B1>0,B2>0),"animal lover","lonely person")
=IF(OR(B1>0,B2>0),"animal lover","lonely person") will output "animal
lover" if the user owns a dog OR a cat.
=IF(OR(B1,B2>0),"animal lover","lonely person") is not valid formula
syntax.
=AND(IF(B1>0,"animal lover","lonely person"),IF(B2>0,"animal
lover","lonely person")) is not valid formula syntax.
5. What IF function will output revenue growth based on the Scenario selected
in cell F10?
=IF(F10=C14,F14,IF(F10=C15,F15,F16))
=IF(F10=C15,F15,IF(F10=C14,F14,F16))
=IF(F10=C16,F16,IF(F10=C14,F14,F15))
All of the above - ANSWER ✔ The correct answer is: All of the above.
This question uses a nested IF statement. Any of the cases (Best case, Base
case, Weak case) can be used as the logical test, which is the first argument
, in the IF statement. Two IF statements are required because there are thee
possible scenarios. The last argument in the function will have the case that
was not used in the two logical tests. These logical tests can be in any order.
6. Identify the best formula that will output 2016 expenses. Hint: Only select
the 'range lookup' argument if it is necessary.
=HLOOKUP(2016,B2:D4,2,0)
=HLOOKUP(2016,A1:D4,3)
=HLOOKUP("Expenses",A1:D4,2)
=HLOOKUP(2016,B2:D4,2) - ANSWER ✔ The correct answer is:
=HLOOKUP(2016,A1:D4,3)
=HLOOKUP(2016,B2:D4,2,0) will not result in a valid output because 2016
is not selected in the table array argument.
=HLOOKUP("Expenses",A1:D4,2) will result in a #NAME error because
"Expenses" is not a horizontal lookup reference.
=HLOOKUP(2016,B2:D4,2) will reference the Revenue line rather than the
expenses line because the third argument references the row 2 in the table
array.
