Orange Tree Labs

GETTING STARTED
 Open the file SC_EX19_EOM5-2_FirstLastName_1.xlsx, available for download from
the SAM website.
 Save the file as SC_EX19_EOM5-2_FirstLastName_2.xlsx by changing the “1” to a
“2”.
o If you do not see the .xlsx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do not type it.
The program will add the file extension for you automatically.
 To complete this SAM Project, you will also need to download and save the following data
files from the SAM website onto your computer:
o Support_EX19_EOM5-2_Posts.csv

 With the file SC_EX19_EOM5-2_FirstLastName_2.xlsx still open, ensure that your first
and last name is displayed in cell B6 of the Documentation sheet.
o If cell B6 does not display your name, delete the file and download a new copy
from the SAM website.

PROJECT STEPS
1. Malai Wattana is the director of social media for Orange Tree Labs, a software company
in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Malai and her colleagues post content on the Orange Tree
website and on social media sites to promote the company and its products. She asks for
your help in analyzing the user response to this content. She also needs to complete a
schedule for launching a website for a new product.
Go to the Overview worksheet. In the range B5:B9, Malai wants to consolidate data that
summarizes user responses to the Orange Tree website. In cell B5, insert a formula that
references cell B17 on the Website worksheet to insert the total number of page views
on the website during the last 12 weeks. Insert similar formulas in the range B6:B9 to
insert the totals for likes, comments, shares, and follows on the website during the last
12 weeks.
2. The doughnut chart in the range H4:K12 compares the totals of each type of user
response. Resize the chart proportionally to a width of 5" to make the chart easier to
interpret. Position the chart so that the upper-left corner is in cell H4 and the lower-right
corner is in cell M22.
3. Malai has formatted cell A3 to indicate that it contains a table title. Create a new cell
style named Table Title based on the formats in cell A3. Apply the new Table Title style
to cells A12 and A18.
4. In the range A13:E16, Malai wants to include data about the types of posts the company
makes on their website and social media webpages. This data is stored in a text file.
Import the CSV file Support_EX19_EOM5-2_Posts.csv as a table starting in cell A13 of
the existing worksheet. [Mac Hint: Use column delimation while importing the .csv file.]
5. Apply the Orange, Table Style Light 11 style to the table to use a format similar to the
other data ranges on the worksheet. Clear the formats from the header row and the
range A14:A16. Resize columns B:E to a width of 11.88 characters.
6. In the range A19:F32, Malai wants to summarize the weekly engagement data for the
Orange Tree Labs website, Facebook, and Twitter interactions.

In cell B20, enter a formula using the SUM function and a 3D reference to total the
number of page views in Week 1 (cell B5) for the website, Facebook, and Twitter. Fill the
range B21:B31 with the formula in cell B20 to consolidate the total page view data for
the remaining weeks. Fill the range C20:F31 with the formulas in the range B20:B31 to
consolidate the data for likes, comments, shares, and follows.
7. Go to the Website worksheet. Use the text in the range A5:A6 to fill the range A7:A16
with the week numbers.
8. Malai has set a goal of 400 page views per week on the Orange Tree Labs website. In the
range B21:E21, project the page views per week by filling the series with a linear trend.
She also wants to increase follows by 10 percent every four weeks. In the range B23:E23,
project the follows based on a growth series using 1.10 as the step value.
9. Go to the Schedule worksheet, which contains the beginnings of a schedule for
developing the new website. In cell B3, enter a formula using the DATE function to enter
April 3, 2021 as the date.
10. For milestones 2–10, the dates are five days after the previous start date. To exclude
weekends for those days, enter a formula in cell C7 using the WORKDAY function that
adds five days to the date in cell C6. Fill the range C8:C15 with the formula in cell C7 to
complete the schedule.
11. Move the Website Project Timeline chart to the Overview worksheet. Position the chart
so its upper-left corner is in cell H23 and its lower-right corner is in cell M36 on the
Overview worksheet. Change the number format of the horizontal axis values in the
Website Project Timeline chart to display dates with an abbreviated month name, a
hyphen, and the year abbreviated, as in Mar-21.
12. Return to the Schedule worksheet to prepare it for printing. Set top and bottom margins
of 1", and then center the worksheet vertically on the page. Insert a footer that displays
the Sheet Name in the center section.
Your workbook should look like the Final Figures on the following pages. Save your changes, close
the workbook, and then exit Excel. Follow the directions on the SAM website to submit your
completed project.
