Week 2 Quiz Answers
Quiz 1: The “IF” Command in Excel
Q1. Remember: IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false])
The table shows A1, A2, and A3 entries as a dog, cat, and rabbit respectively Using the table above, what would be the result of the following formula?
[expand title=View Answer] Based on the provided table, the result of the formula =IF(A1=”dog”, “bark”, “no bark”) would be “bark” if the content of cell A1 is “dog,” and “no bark” if it’s anything other than “dog.”
=IF(A1=“dog”, “bark”, “no bark”)
[/expand]
Q2. Select all statements below that are true.
[expand title=View Answer]
=IF(1=2, “incorrect”, “correct”)
returns: incorrect
=IF(TRUE, “yes”, “no”)
returns: yes
[/expand]
Quiz 2: The “IF” Command in Excel Using Numerical Data
Q1. Given the formula
=IF(A1>1000, 1000, A1)
Which of the following is true?
[expand title=View Answer] No matter the value of A1, the highest value this formula will return is 1000. [/expand]
Q2. A1-C3 have integers 1-9; the IF() function entries are shown on the right
Assume the formula shown above was entered into cell D1, then copied down to D2 and D3. The resulting values in cells D1, D2, and D3 would be:
[expand title=View Answer] small, small, small[/expand]
Quiz 3: The “Nested IF” Command in Excel
Q1. The formula
=IF(FALSE, 1, IF(TRUE, 2, 3))
will return:
[expand title=View Answer] 2[/expand]
Q2. Given the formula
=IF(A1<10, “low”, IF(A1<20, “middle”, “high”))
If the value of A1 is 10, what will the formula return?
[expand title=View Answer]
If the value of A1 is 10, the formula:
=IF(A1<10, “low”, IF(A1<20, “middle”, “high”)) will return: middle In this formula, if A1 is less than 10, it returns "low." But if A1 is greater than or equal to 10, it goes to the next IF statement and checks if A1 is less than 20, which is true for the value 10. Therefore, it returns "middle." [/expand]

Quiz 8: Spreadsheet Functions to Organize Data
Q1. Download the spreadsheet “Store Sales 2012.xlsx” below. Use the data in this spreadsheet for the remainder of the assignment.

[expand title=View Answer]
The formula would always return “Small”
The formula would always return “Medium”
The formula would always return “Large”
The formula would only return “Large” or “Small”
[/expand]
Q2. Assuming you want the formula in H2 to always reference the cell directly to its left, correct the formula. Once the formula is fixed, copy the formula down the column. What is the “Order Type” of Order ID 11428, placed on 1/21/2012?
[expand title=View Answer]
Small
Medium
Large
Extra Large
[/expand]
Q3. The boss decides that using only 3 levels—small, medium, and large—does not give the shipping department enough information. She wants to use the 10 levels shown in Lookup Table 1 (A3:B12). Write a formula in the “Expanded Order Type” column to assign the correct type to each order by “Order Quantity.” Copy the formula down to all the rows. Based on the layout of Lookup Table 1, should you use a VLOOKUP function or an HLOOKUP function?
[expand title=View Answer] VLOOKUP [/expand]
Q4. Using your newly created “Expanded Order Type” column, calculate the total “Sales” for all orders of “Medium” type (rounded to 2 decimal places). Hint: The SUMIF() function is useful here.
Enter answer here
Q5. The company gives a 1% discount on any Extra Large or larger orders. In the “Discount” column, create a formula that returns 0.01 if the “Expanded Order Type” is Extra Large, XX Large, or XXX Large, and returns 0 otherwise. You can accomplish this by using a (select all that apply):
[expand title=View Answer]
VLOOKUP formula
HLOOKUP formula

Q6. Create the formula from the previous question and copy the formula down to all the rows. How many orders will have a discount applied?
Hint: The COUNTIF() function is useful here.
Enter answer here
Q7. The “Sales with Discount” can be calculated by applying the discount to the original “Sales” entry:
Sales with Discount = Sales – (Sales * Discount)
or
Sales with Discount = Sales * (1 – Discount)
Create a formula in the “Sales with Discount” column and copy it down to all the rows. What is the impact of the discount on total sales in 2012? In other words, what is the difference between the sum of the “Sales” and the sum of the “Sales with Discount” (rounded to 2 decimal places)?
Enter answer here
Q8. Currently, customers are responsible for paying the shipping costs. The sales team suggests that customers really dislike paying shipping costs, and that offering “free shipping” instead of the 1% discount would likely increase sales. Create a formula for the “Sales with Free Shipping” column that subtracts the “Shipping Cost” from the “Sales” only if the “Expanded Order Type” is Extra Large, XX Large, or XXX Large. Copy the formula down to all the rows. What would total 2012 sales have been if the company had offered free shipping instead of the 1% discount (rounded to 2 decimal places)?
Enter answer here
Q9. How much money would the company have saved in 2012 if it had offered free shipping instead of the 1% discount on Extra Large, XX Large, or XXX Large orders (rounded to 2 decimal places)?
Enter answer here
Q10. What would 2012 total “Sales” have been if the company had offered free shipping on any order shipped by Delivery Truck, and no additional discounts (rounded to 2 decimal places)?
