[16]

QUESTION 3: SPREADSHEET

Use formulae and/or functions for ALL calculations in the spreadsheet. Use absolute cell references only where necessary to ensure that formulae are correct when you copy it to other cells in the same column (copy down). All formulae and/or functions should be inserted in such a manner that the correct results will still be obtained, even if changes are made to the existing data.

Data was gathered about extreme temperatures and rainfall.

3.4 Use a combination of functions to extract the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (131oF) from cell C4 (the degrees Celsius column) and insert it into cell D4 (in the column for degrees Fahrenheit).
NOTE: Ensure that the correct results will still be obtained, even if the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit in cell C4 changes (for example to 27oC or 80oF).

HINT: First find the position of the space. All the data after the space must appear in the column for degrees Fahrenheit. You may use any of the empty columns, such as columns K and L, for calculating any interim results. (7)

3.5 The following formula is used to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit:

oC × 9 ÷ 5 + 32 = oF

Add a formula in cell D7 using the temperature in degrees Celsius in cell C7 and convert it to degrees Fahrenheit. (2)

3.6 Use a function/formula in cell G4 to determine the number of full days that have passed since the date of the highest temperature (cell F4) experienced in Africa.

For example, if the date of the highest temperature was Monday, 11 February 1935, the number of days that have passed would be 29 470. (5)

3.7 Change the page setup as follows:

  • Set the range A2:D32 as the print area.
  • Use a spreadsheet feature to ensure that all the data will fit on one sheet.

    NOTE: Do NOT print the spreadsheet. (2)

Save and close the 3Extreme_Uiters spreadsheet. [28]

QUESTION 4: SPREADSHEET

Use formulae and/or functions for ALL calculations in the spreadsheet. Use absolute cell references only where necessary to ensure that formulae are correct when you copy it to other cells in the same column (copy down). All formulae and/or functions should be inserted in such a manner that the correct results will still be obtained, even if changes are made to the existing data.

A study was done about all the species threatened with extinction. A summary of these threatened species has been stored in a spreadsheet.

Open the 4Species_Spesies spreadsheet and work in the Spec_Spes worksheet.

4.1 Change the height of row 1 to 30 pt. (1)

4.2 Use a VLOOKUP function in cell B6 to determine to which type 'Birds' in cell A6 belongs by using the table in the Type_Tipe worksheet.

Ensure that this function will work correctly if copied to the other cells. (4)

4.3 Add a function in cell C10 to calculate the total number of vertebrate species. (2)

4.4 Add a function in cell L5 to calculate the percentage of the number of mammals threatened in 2014 (column K) in relation to the total number of species evaluated (cell D10). (2)

4.5 Insert a function in cell N6 to determine the severity level by using the severity percentage in column M as follows:

Related Items

  • A severity percentage of more than 50% is classified as 'Very severe'.
  • A severity percentage of more than 15% and less than or equal to 50% is classified as 'Severe'.
  • A severity percentage of less than or equal to 15% is classified as 'Moderate'. (5)

  • Display this number as a whole number.

Save and close the qry5_5 query. (7)

5.6 Create a report called rep5_6 based on the Survey_Opname table.
