INTRODUCTION • Excel is a spreadsheet program made and distributed by Microsoft that can be used in numerous different ways. • The most common usage of excel is to organize data, make charts, and run statistical analysis. • Anyone can use Excel. • In this presentation, we will be showing how to make a weighted grade calculator. • To do this process, you will need a computer with the excel program installed.
STEP 1. Label the rows with the proper headings as listed: a. A2: Item b. B2: Worth c. C2: Points received d. D3: Total points possible for assignment (Out of) e. E2: Grade Revised f. F2: Weighted
STEP 2. Label the Columns from A3 downward with the appropriate assignments and one cell labeled “Total” Ex: a. A3: Exam 1 b. A4: Exam 2 c. A5: Exam 3 d. A6: Final e. A9: Total
STEP 3 In columns B3-B6 (Exam 1-Exam 4) insert the percent weighted as listed in the syllabus as a decimal a. In the column B9, enter the equation =SUM (B3:B6)
STEP 4 In columns C3-C6 enter the point received on an assignment
STEP 5 In columns D3-D6 enter the total points possible for the corresponding assignment
STEP 6 In columns E3-E6: enter a division function for each row of assignments by dividing cells in column C by cells in column D a. E3:= C3/D3 b. E4: =C4/D4 c. E5: =C5/D5 d. E6: =E5/E6
Step 7 In column F, enter the function B*E for each row of assignments a. F3: =B3*E3 b. F4: = B4*E4 c. F5: = B5*E5 d. F6: = B6*E6
Your Grade! Step 8 In cell F9: insert another SUM function from the range of F3-F6 a. F9:= SUM(F3:F6) * 100 b. Here your final grade will appear
