Step-by-Step Instructions

Navigate to the Correct Worksheet:

Click on the tab labeled Top 20 Videos at the bottom of the Excel window to ensure you are on the correct sheet.

Select Column C:

Click on the letter C in the column header to select the entire column.

Open Column Width Settings:

Method A (Ribbon): Go to the Home tab. In the Cells group (towards the right), click Format. Select Column Width... from the dropdown menu.

Method B (Right-click): Right-click directly on the column header "C". A context menu will appear. Click Column Width...

Enter the Width:

A small dialog box labeled "Column Width" will appear.

Type 2 in the box.

Click OK.

Visual Verification

Before: Column C (containing the "Year" data) is likely wider, fitting the four-digit years comfortably.

After: Column C will become very narrow. The "Year" header and the dates (like 2011, 1984) might display as hashes (####) because the column is now too narrow to display the numbers, or the text will simply be cut off. This is expected behavior for the exam task; do not widen it back out unless instructed to do so.

Step 1: Select the Table

Navigate to theRecent Releasesworksheet.

Clickanywhereinside the data table (for example, click on the text "A Little to the Left").

Note:You do not need to highlight the whole table; just clicking one cell inside it is enough to activate the hidden menu.

Step 2: Go to the "Table Design" Tab

Look at the Ribbon at the very top of the Excel window.

Because you clicked inside the table, a new tab calledTable Design(or sometimes justDesign) will appear on the far right side of the Ribbon.

Click on theTable Designtab.

Step 3: Click "Convert to Range"

In theTable Designtoolbar, look for theToolsgroup (usually on the left side).

Click the button labeledConvert to Range.

Visual Reference:

Step 4: Confirm the Action

A confirmation dialog box will pop up asking:"Do you want to convert the table to a normal range?"

ClickYes.

Result:The table functionality (like the little filter arrows next to the headers) will disappear, but the cell colors and data will remain exactly where they are. The data is now a standard "Range."

To keep rows 1 through 3 visible while you scroll down the "Sold" worksheet, you will use theFreeze Panesfeature.

Step-by-Step Solution

Select Row 4: Click on the row number4on the far left of the screen to select the entire row.

Note: In Excel, "Freeze Panes" freezes everythingabovethe currently selected row.

Navigate to the View Tab: Click on theViewtab in the top Ribbon menu.

Click Freeze Panes: In theWindowgroup, click theFreeze Panesbutton.

Select Freeze Panes: From the drop-down menu, select the first option,Freeze Panes.

Verification

Scroll down the worksheet using your mouse or the scroll bar. You should notice that the "Clearance Sale" header and the "Item Type/Description/etc." header row (rows 1-3) stay locked at the top of the screen while the data in row 4 and below moves.

To display the formulas within the cells of the Qtr 2 worksheet instead of the resulting values, you can use the Show Formulas command.

Step 1: Navigate to the Qtr 2 Worksheet

Open your Excel workbook.

Click on the Qtr 2 sheet tab at the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: Enable "Show Formulas" via the Ribbon

Go to the Formulas tab on the Ribbon at the top of the Excel window.

Hover your mouse over thebottom-right cornerof the cell containing the sparkline.

Your cursor will change from a thick white cross to athin black cross (+).

Click and dragthe fill handle down to the bottom of the column to fill all the vacant cells in the "Trend" column.
