?? MS Excel Final Project: Student Performance Management System

? Project Objective Students will design a complete Excel-based system to: - Record student data - Perform calculations automatically - Apply formatting and validation - Visualize data using charts - Analyze performance using Pivot Tables

? 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
