EXERCISE 10 CREATING YOUR OWN SPREADSHEET

You are to create a spreadsheet that will keep track of withdrawals and deposits in your
bank account. Deposits will increase your bank balance and withdrawals will decrease
your bank balance. The spreadsheet must keep a running balance of the daily balance.

Include the following column headings in your spreadsheet:

o Date
o Description
o Deposit Amount
o Withdrawal Amount
o Daily Balance

Add an appropriate spreadsheet title and column and row headings to describe the
spreadsheet content.

Enter the information provided under the appropriate column headings (Date,
Description, etc.)

Feb 27 Balance.............................................................................800.00
Feb 28 Deposited bi-weekly salary................................................650.00
Feb 28 Withdrew cash...................................................................100.00
Mar 2 Deposited a cash refund......................................................25.00
Mar 4 Paid rent for the month......................................................500.00
Mar 5 Paid monthly phone bill........................................................50.00
Mar 6 Used debit card for purchase of a new jacket......................40.00
Mar 8 Deposited my birthday money...........................................150.00
Mar 8 Used debit card for purchase of groceries.........................105.00
Mar 10 Deposited bi-weekly salary................................................650.00
Mar 10 Withdrew cash.....................................................................80.00
Mar 12 Paid monthly VISA bill.......................................................245.00

Create one formula to calculate the daily balance so that it works whether the
transaction is a deposit or a withdrawal. The daily balance equals previous days
balance + deposits – withdrawals. Use the formula to calculate the February 28 daily
balance and copy the formula down the column.

Add a variety of Excel formatting features.

Save the spreadsheet file as ex10.

Add a footer.
