This project requires you to develop a spreadsheet that tracks the cost of elementary school supplies distributed to teachers over a two-month period. You’ll assume the role of Office Manager, who has multiple responsibilities, including distributing and maintaining classroom supplies.

For this project, you must prepare an Excel spreadsheet and chart that will be sent to the school District Manager.

Paper For Above instruction

Develop an Excel spreadsheet titled "School Supplies" that tracks elementary school supplies distributed to teachers over two months, September and October. The spreadsheet should include data entry, formatting, formulas, sorting, and a chart as specified.

Begin by creating a new Excel workbook. Enter the data provided in the assignment, ensuring all columns are appropriately sized for clarity. Merge and center cells A1 through H1, formatting this as the Title style with the school name. Similarly, merge and center cells A2 through H2, formatting as Heading 1. Bold and right-align labels in row 4, and enter appropriate data for supplies, including costs per unit, quantities, and costs for September and October.

In column D, create formulas using cell references to compute costs for September; format the results as Currency with two decimal places. In cell A16, enter "Grand Total" in bold, and in D16, use a function (SUM) to calculate total expenses for September. In column E, calculate the percentage of each supply’s total cost relative to the grand total, using formulas with absolute references and formatting as Percentage with no decimal places. Repeat the calculations for October in columns F, G, and H accordingly.

Sort the supplies alphabetically by name. Select cells A5:H14, and sort to ensure data remains aligned. Save the spreadsheet.

Create a 3-D Clustered Column chart representing costs of supplies. Select the ranges for supply names and costs, including multiple columns, then insert the chart, positioning it with the top left corner at cell A18 and extending it to column H. Change the chart title to "Cost of Supplies" and accurately size and position it.

Enter the following information into cell A41: your name, email address, student number, course name and number, and project number. Save and close the file, then follow your institution’s submission process, which involves uploading the file on your student portal after entering the specified exam number, and ensuring all data, formulas, and formatting are correctly applied.
