Excel Project #3 - Gradebook

You need to create a workbook to track the grades in your class. Your gradebook needs to include:
  • A large merged cell with your name and the subject.
  • The names of at least twenty students listed down the left columns.
    1. Name should be in three columns:
      • Last
      • First
      • Full
    2. Each student should have a four-digit id#.
  • Twenty-five assignments that pertain to the class.
    1. For each assignment you need to give the points possible.
      • Your assignments should have different values, some values may be used multiple times, but not for all assignments.
    2. You also need to calculate the average score for each assignment.
  • A summary section to the right of the individual grades that includes summary information for each student:
    1. Total points
    2. Percentage
    3. Letter Grade
      • On a separate worksheet you will need to list your grading scale for letter grades (ABCDF).
  • Nicely formatted data that makes the spreadsheet easy to read. This should include cell borders and background color changes.
  • You need to use conditional formatting to highlight high scores and low scores.
  • You need to format your assignment names so that they are turned 90 degrees.
In class we will be working on formulas that:
  • Take a list of names that is in full name format and separate it into two columns
  • Take two columns of names and combine it for a full name
  • Create a random id-number
  • Create random grades in the proper range
  • Look up the letter grade
I will also take some time to work on more advanced conditional formatting and other issues we come across while working on this assignment.
