    Names are entered in cells A2:A500, and quantities are entered in cells B2:B500. To calculate the total quantity for the person named "Wilson", I would use the ___________________ worksheet function.

    Correct Answer
    SUMIF
    SUMIFS
    SUMPRODUCT
    Explanation
    To calculate the total quantity for the person named "Wilson", the appropriate worksheet function to use would be either SUMIF, SUMIFS, or SUMPRODUCT. These functions allow you to specify a criteria or condition (in this case, the name "Wilson") and sum the corresponding quantities. SUMIF is used when you have a single criteria, while SUMIFS is used when you have multiple criteria. SUMPRODUCT is a more versatile function that can handle multiple criteria and perform calculations on arrays of data.

    • A.

      Pivot Table

      AutoFormat

      Data Validation

    • D.

      Insert Comment

    • E.

      Named Range

    Correct Answer
    C. Data Validation
    Explanation
    Data Validation is the correct answer because it allows users to create a drop-down list in a cell. With Data Validation, you can specify a list of products as the source for the drop-down list, ensuring that users can only select from the provided options. This feature helps to maintain data integrity and consistency by restricting input to a predefined set of values. Pivot Table, AutoFormat, Insert Comment, and Named Range are not suitable for creating a drop-down list in a cell.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The sales tax rate is in cell H2. Sales totals are in cells B2:B20. To calculate the tax on each sale, you'll enter a formula in cell C2 to multiply the sales total in B2 by the sales tax rate. Then, you'll copy the formula down to cell B20. Which formula should you use?

    • A.

      =B2*$H$2

    • B.

      =$B$2*$H$2

    • C.

      =B$2*$H$2

    • D.

      =B2*H2

    • E.

      =B2*$H2

    Correct Answer
    A. =B2*$H$2
    Explanation
    The correct formula to use in this case is =B2*$H$2. This formula will multiply the sales total in cell B2 by the sales tax rate in cell H2. By using absolute references ($), the formula can be copied down to cell B20 without changing the reference to the sales tax rate. This ensures that each sale is multiplied by the correct tax rate.
