Professional Formatting Of Worksheets And Creating Tables In Excel

Format the two worksheets to create professional looking work sheets for each of these two worksheets. At this stage, none of the data in the two worksheets should be modified.   Please note the mobile phone number needs to start with a zero. This will also require that you modify row height and column width.  It is best not to use Excel to create tables.

Those columns missing headings, please give the columns appropriate headings.

Task 2

After completing task 1, a sequence of tasks needs to be completed on the Employee information worksheet.  These tasks are listed below: Hide the columns that you no longer need as you have formatted them, do NOT delete them.

1. Join the State & Postcode data into one column. This must be done using the various text functions available in Excel.  It will require that you insert one additional column into this worksheet.  One column should be labelled “State Postcode”.  In addition, all excess spaces should be removed from the text and all “State” text should be full upper case.  This must be done using functions from Excel.
2. All columns should be formatted to use the correct data type for their contents.
3. Using conditional formatting, identify any cells with missing mobile phone numbers and change their background colour to light green.
4. Format the data in both “First Name” and “Last Name” and so that it begins with a capital letter. This must be done by using the appropriate Excel function.
5. Sort the data alphabetically on “Last Name”. This will put the employee number out of order.
