MS Excel Tutorials - Basic to Advance
?? MS Excel Final Project: Student Performance Management System
? Project Overview
Students must create an Excel workbook with 3 main sheets:
? Sheet 1: Data Entry
? Sheet 2: Analysis
? Sheet 3: Dashboard
? Part 1: Sheet 1 – Data Entry
? Step 1: Create Table Structure
| ID | Name | Subject | Marks | Grade | Result |
|---|
? Step 2: Apply Data Validation
- Subject → Dropdown list:
ICT,Math,English
- Marks → Whole number (0–100)
? Step 3: Apply Formulas
Grade:
=IF(D2>=80,"A",IF(D2>=60,"B",IF(D2>=50,"C","Fail")))
Result:
=IF(D2>=50,"Pass","Fail")
? Step 4: Apply Formatting
- Bold header
- Borders
- Fill color
- Center alignment
? Step 5: Conditional Formatting
- Marks ≥ 80 → Green
- Marks < 50 → Red
? Part 2: Sheet 2 – Analysis
? Step 6: Calculate Summary
- Total Marks:
=SUM(D2:D20)
- Average:
=AVERAGE(D2:D20)
- Highest:
=MAX(D2:D20)
- Lowest:
=MIN(D2:D20)
? Step 7: COUNTIF Analysis
- Pass Count:
=COUNTIF(F2:F20,"Pass")
- Fail Count:
=COUNTIF(F2:F20,"Fail")
? Step 8: Create Pivot Table
- Rows → Subject
- Values → Marks (Sum/Average)
? Part 3: Sheet 3 – Dashboard
? Step 9: Create Charts
- Column Chart → Student Marks
- Pie Chart → Pass vs Fail
? Step 10: Insert Pivot Chart
- Based on Pivot Table
? Step 11: Add Slicer (Optional)
- Filter by Subject
? Step 12: Design Dashboard
- Add titles
- Align charts properly
- Use consistent colors
? Part 4: Page Layout & Printing
? Step 13: Apply Page Layout
- Orientation → Landscape
- Fit to 1 page
- Add Header/Footer:
Student Performance Report
Your Name | Page Number
? Step 14: Export as PDF
- File → Save As → PDF
