Perform various tasks in Microsoft Excel related to a spa schedule project, including opening files, renaming sheets, copying worksheets, entering data, applying themes and styles, formatting cells, inserting formulas, hiding columns, setting print headers, applying tables and conditional formatting, autofitting columns, setting page orientation, autofilling lists, merging cells, and saving/exiting workbooks for grading purposes.

The project begins with opening an initial Excel workbook named e01ws02_grader_a1.xlsx and saving it with a new name that includes the user's identification, for example, e01ws02_grader_a1_YourOffice.xlsx. Following this, the worksheet named "Schedule by Date" is renamed to "Sheet1," and the sheet "Consultants" is renamed to "Sheet2." These steps help organize the workbook for subsequent data entry and formatting.

The next step involves opening an external documentation file, e01ws02ADoc.xlsx. Within this file, the "Documentation" worksheet is copied to the end of the current workbook and subsequently closed. Then, relevant data is entered into specific cells in the documentation worksheet, including dates, names, and descriptive text to provide context and labels for the project.

In the "Documentation" worksheet, specific entries are made: dates such as 12/31/2015 are typed into designated cells, along with staff and client names, and labels indicating the schedule type and status. These entries provide a foundational context for the data analysis and visual representation that follows.

The workbook theme is changed to "Savon," enhancing visual consistency. On the "Schedule by Date" worksheet, several formatting enhancements are made: merge and center a range of cells A1:J1, apply a specific style to this title row, and set background colors for header rows. The header row A1:J1 and subsequent row A4:J4 are filled with a lighter turquoise color for differentiation. Text formatting such as bold and italics are applied to specific ranges to emphasize headers.

Adjustments are made to insert hard returns within certain cells to control text wrapping, specifically after words like "Client’s" and "Payment" in designated cells. The date format from cell A6 is copied to the rest of the column A to maintain consistency, while number formats are applied to currency and time data for clarity.

Formulas are added to calculate total service charges for specific days—Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday—by inserting SUM functions into designated cells. Additionally, column H is hidden to streamline the view, and print headers are set to specify date ranges for printing.

Measures are implemented to analyze sales data: formulas are entered to compute maximum and minimum daily sales totals from a range of cells. These results are formatted to appear prominently using merge, alignment, and style features. The data range A4:J24 is formatted as a table, including header rows and total calculations; currency formatting is applied to specific cells for accuracy.

Conditional formatting is employed to identify totals exceeding $250, making such figures bold and green to draw attention. Column widths are auto-fitted for optimal display, with the exception of column H. The worksheet's print setup is adjusted to landscape orientation and to fit all columns on a single page.

On the "Consultants" worksheet, lists of weekdays are completed using auto-fill methods, and cell ranges are merged and styled to highlight headers. Text formatting such as bold, vertical orientation, and middle alignment are applied to certain ranges to column headers and descriptive labels. The formatting is duplicated across multiple cell ranges using the Format Painter tool.

The final steps involve saving the completed workbook and exiting the application. The entire process ensures the spreadsheet is properly formatted, styled, and ready for review or grading, fulfilling all specified project requirements.
