Week 4 Project Tips
Below are tips to help you start your Week 4 Project.
The tips show you, step by step, how to create a spreadsheet in

Microsoft Office
Excel. This includes creating a table, creating a header, entering
labels and
numerical data, using formulas, and applying some basic
formatting.
The tips also show you how to create a chart from your data.
The tips do not use the same data as your project, so will need
to follow carefully
the instructions in your project to use the correct data, but the
organization of the
data is the same as in your project.
Also, the formatting of the spreadsheet is as shown in the
instructions for the
project, but you are encouraged to create a spreadsheet and a
chart with your
own original presentation.
Now, let’s see how to tackle your Week 4 Project.
Page 3 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 1. Open Excel and click on Blank workbook to create a
new
workbook.

Week 4 Project
Step 2. Double click on the sheet name; the default name Sheet1
is
highlighted as shown.

Week 4 Project
Step 3. Type the new name on the name tag for the worksheet.
Here, the name is changed to Budget. Then type the header text
across, as shown, and the item names for the budget in column
A.
No formatting is applied yet.

Step 4. Double-click on the right-most boundary of column A,
as
indicated with the red arrow in the screen capture below. That
has
the effect of widening column A, such that its content will fit
nicely
within column A’s boundaries, and will not encroach on the
space of
the columns to the right.

Step 5. Now, enter the numerical data per the instructions of the

Week 4 Project. Note that the data below are different from
what is
specified in your project instructions. So, make sure to follow
your
project instructions; do not use the numerical values shown
below.

Week 4 Project
Step 6. In cell B5, corresponding to Monthly Income for
January,
type =SUM(B3,B4). This is the sum formula applied to the
values in
cells B3 and B4. Then hit <Enter>.

Week 4 Project
Step 7. As a result, the value in B5 appears as the sum of the
value in
B2 + value in B3. Then, select cell B5, right-click and select
Copy.

Week 4 Project
Step 8. Select and highlight cells C5 and D5, right-click and
select
the first Paste icon of the Paste Options.
Page 11 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 9. As a result of the last step, Excel places sum formulas in
cells
C5 and D5, corresponding to the formula in B5, but applied to
cells
in columns C and D respectively. This is a shortcut rather than
retyping the sum formulas manually in C5 and D5. Note how
now
the value in C5 is equal to the sum of values in C3 and C4, and
the

value in D5 is equal to the sum of values in D3 and D4, as
required.

Week 4 Project
Step 10. Now, let’s see another technique to apply the Sum
formula.
Select cell B19, corresponding to Monthly Expenses for
January.
Then, under the Home tab, under group Editing, click on
AutoSum
and select Sum.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 11. Excel selects the column of values above your selected
cell
and applies the SUM formula =SUM(B8:B18) in cell B19.
Page 14 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 12. When you hit <Enter> cell B19 displays the numerical
sum
of values from B8 through B18 as expected.
Page 15 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 13. Right-click on cell B19 and select Copy.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 14. Then select and highlight cells C19 and D19, right-
click and
select the first of the Paste Options.
Page 17 of 58
Week 4 Project

Step 15. As a result, Excel places the formulas =SUM(C8:C18)
and
=SUM(D8:D18) in C19 and D19 respectively.
Page 18 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 16. In cell B21, type the formula =B5. This is to make the
value in
B21 equal to whatever value is in B5. So, if B5 changes later,
B21 will
match the value in B5 automatically.

Week 4 Project
Step 17. Right-click on cell B21 and select Copy.
Page 20 of 58
Week 4 Project
select the first of the Paste Options.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 19. Let’s do the same with the Monthly Expenses. In cell
B22,
type =B19. This is to make the value in cell B22 always match
the
value in cell B19.
Page 22 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 20. Select cell B22, right-click and select Copy.
Page 23 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 21. Select cells C22 and D22, right-click and select the
first
option of the Paste Options.
Page 24 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 22. Now, let’s work on the Net revenue or loss. In cell
B23, type
the formula =B21-B22 as shown and hit <Enter>.
Page 25 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 23. As a result, the Net value of Monthly Income minus
Monthly Expenses for the month of January is displayed in cell
B23.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 24. Right-click on cell B23, and select Copy.
Page 27 of 58
Week 4 Project

select the first Paste option of Paste Options as shown.
Page 28 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 26. Now, the data in your spreadsheet is complete. Next,
let’s
apply some formatting to the sheet Budget.
Page 29 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 27. Highlight the cells between B3 and D5 as shown, and
under
the Home tab, under group Number, click on the Accounting
Number Format option as shown.
Page 30 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 28. As a result, the cells for Monthly Income for January,
February, and March are displayed in Accounting Number
Format,
with $ sign left-justified, and the dollar amount right-justified.
Also, a

comma is automatically displayed as a thousands separator.
Page 31 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 29. Apply the Accounting Number Format to all the
numerical
cells as described above.
Page 32 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 30. Now, since the dollar amounts appear a little crowded,
let’s
adjust the columns width. Select columns B, C, and D as shown.
Make sure to select the entire columns by placing the cursor of
your
mouse on the letter B, holding the left key of your mouse, and
sliding the mouse to the right such that you cover and highlight
the
3 columns as shown.
Page 33 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 31. Right-click and select Column Width…

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 32. A Column Width form appears. Enter the desired value
in
the box. Here the value 12 is chosen.
Page 35 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 33. As a result, all 3 columns B, C, and D widen as
expected, and
the currencies appear less crowded than before. Notice how the
$
sign is still left-justified according to the Accounting Number
Format.
Page 36 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 34. Next, select and highlight the header in row 2 as
shown.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 35. Click on the Center option under the Alignment group
in
the Home tab, then click on the Bold option under the Font
group.
Page 38 of 58
Week 4 Project

Step 36. Do the same with the other header in row 7.
Page 39 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 37. Also, select Monthly Income and apply the Bold
option,
and repeat with the next occurrence of Monthly Income. Do the
same with Monthly Expenses, and Net.
Page 40 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 38. Now, let’s apply more formatting to the Budget sheet.
Select
and highlight the box of cells between A3 and D4 and, under the
Home tab, in the Font group, click on the Borders icon to open
the
Borders drop-down menu, and select Thick Outside Borders.
Page 41 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 39. Repeat the previous step with the box of cells between
cells
A8 and D18 as shown.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 40. As a result, you have now created some basic
formatting to
your Budget sheet.
Page 43 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 41. Finally, select cells B22 through D22 as shown. Again,
from
the Font group, click on the Borders icon to open the drop-down
menu of Borders options, and select Thick Bottom Border.
Page 44 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 42. Now your budget sheet is complete and fully formatted.
Keep in mind that the formatting here is simply and example of
what
can be done to make your Budget sheet look professional. You

are
encouraged to experiment with different formatting effects
when you
create your own Budget sheet, but be careful not to overdo it.
Page 45 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 43. Next, you need to open a new sheet for your chart.
Click on
the + sign for New Sheet at the bottom of your Excel window as
shown.
Page 46 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 44. As you did earlier with the Budget sheet, double-click
on
the name tag of the new sheet and type your new name. Here,
we
typed the name Chart.
Page 47 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 45. Select your entire table as shown, then under tab
Insert,
click on the lower-right corner of the group Charts, to display
All

Charts as shown. As an example, select the third chart from the
top
under the Recommended Charts folder. Note here that if you
only
want to chart the expenses, then, only select and highlight the
part
of the table with expenses; below that’s the box between cells
A7
and D19. The advantage of not including the income data is that
your chart will show the expenses with better precision in dollar
amounts.
Page 48 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 46. The chart is displayed in sheet Budget as shown. Next,
you
need to cut it and paste it on your new sheet Chart.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 47. Select the chart, right-click and select Cut.
Page 50 of 58
Week 4 Project

Step 48. Click on the sheet Chart name tag to open it and paste
the
chart on that sheet. When you paste the chart, make sure to
select the
option Keep Source Formatting, not Picture!
Page 51 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 49. Experiment with different design options for your
chart. To
do so, select your chart, and the contextual tab set Chart Tools
appears at the top. Click on the Design tab. From there, try
different
Chart Styles. You may also manually move the legend around
and
edit and format any text in your chart. Below, the title of the
chart is
edited to Monthly Budget.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 50. In the example here, Style 6 is selected from the Chart
Styles options.
Page 53 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 51. The chart below is enlarged via the Format tab under
the
contextual tab set Chart Tools. To edit the text, for example in
the
legend, select the text box as shown, and from the Font group
under
the Home tab, select the desired Font Size. Here the value 12 is
selected.
Page 54 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 52. Finally, open a new sheet, as was described earlier, and
rename it with a name of your choice. Here its is named
Analysis.
Then, in Budget sheet, select the entire data space on that sheet.
To
do so, place your cursor in the upper-left corner of the data
space as

shown, and click on the little triangle icon there, as pointed by
the
red arrow.
Page 55 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 53. Right-click and select Copy.
Page 56 of 58

Week 4 Project
Step 54. Go to sheet Analysis, select the entire data space as in
the
previous step, right-click and select the first Paste option of
Paste
Options.
Page 57 of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 55. Now you have copied the same data, including all the
formulas, and with the exact same formatting, from sheet
Budget to
sheet Analysis.

of 58
Week 4 Project
Step 56. Finally, experiment with this spreadsheet by changing
some
of the data, but don’t modify the cells where you have formulas!
Below,
values for Jane’s March income, and March Rent/Utilities
Expenses are changed. Notice that the values in total Monthly
Incomes for March (in cell D5), Monthly Expenses for March
(cell
D19), Monthly Expenses (cell D22), and Net for March (cell
D23),
get updated automatically from the formulas in those cells.
Again, remember that the example here does not use the same
data as
your project. Therefore, you need to follow carefully the
instructions in

your project to use the correct data. Also, you are encouraged to
create
your workbook with your own original presentation.

And “is the just person happier than the unjust person?” What is
the relation of justice to happiness? Socrates addresses this
question both in terms of social communities and in terms of the
