Excel Project 2 MS Excel (Spring 2021)
Note: Microsoft Office 365, the online version, is not appropriate for the course. But anyone who has an Office 365 subscription has access to a fully functioning downloadable version of Office 2013 or 2016 If you do not have an Office 365 subscription you may download the 2016 or 2019 version of Microsoft Office Professional Plus or Microsoft Office Home & Business from OntheHub. (See the Course Resources link.) If you are using a Chromebook, the only Excel product available from the Google Play Store is not a full version of Excel and cannot be used to complete the steps in our Excel projects (it is missing about 30% of the normal Excel functions). The Chromebook will not allow you to download the full Excel from UMGC 365
If you are using a Chromebook, you can complete the Excel Projects using the online Virtual Lab option. In LEO, under Content, Virtual Lab Access, youll find instructions for accessing the virtual lab. Use the project description below to complete this activity (all the details are included in this document). For a review of the complete rubric used in grading this exercise, click on the Assignments tab, then on the title “Excel Project 2.” Click on Show Rubrics if the rubric is not already displayed.
