Custom Excel

Using what you learned about Excel, think of a practical way to use Excel in your life or to help someone else. Share the idea with Mr. Heil in class before the day it is due to gain feedback & get it approved; make sure your idea is practical and creative! Summer students should go ahead and create their idea after getting approval from a friend who thinks the idea is good. Here are some past examples. Then create it in Excel or a Google Doc Spreadsheet and make sure it has the following:

• Graph
• Simple and harder equations with cell references
• Format the cells in coordinating colors, not too flashy but not too plain
