○
You are inserting a new column, next to a column that is already formatted as text.
○
Excel is trying to reference an invalid cell.
○
The lookup_value or the array you are searching resides in a cell containing unseen spaces at the start or end of that cell.
○
You are referencing an entire worksheet by clicking on the grey square at the top left of the worksheet.

Reference / correct answer:

Excel is trying to reference an invalid cell.

You are referencing an entire worksheet by clicking on the grey square at the top left of the worksheet.

The Lookup Function Won't Copy Down to Other Rows error occurs when a user uses a function in one cell and it works perfectly but when he attempts to copy the function down to other rows, he gets the #REF error. The #REF! Error arises when Excel tries to reference an invalid cell. This error occurs if the user has referenced an entire worksheet by clicking on the grey square at the top left of the worksheet. For Excel, this reference range is 1 to 1048576. Since the references are Relative References, Excel automatically increases the row references when this cell is copied down to other rows in the spreadsheet.

Answer option C is incorrect. The Failure to Look Up Values in Excel error occurs when a user gets an unexpected error while trying to look up or match a lookup_value within an array and Excel is not able to recognize the matching value. If the lookup_value or the array the user is searching resides in a cell, the user can have unseen spaces at the start or end of that cell. This will create the situation where the contents of the two cells that the user is comparing look the same but extra spaces in one of the cells cause the cells to have slightly different content. The other reason is that the contents of the cells that are being compared may have different data types.

Answer option A is incorrect. The Excel Won't Calculate My Function error occurs when a user types in a function and presses Enter; the cell shows the function as the user typed it, instead of returning the function's value. The reason that causes this problem is that the cells containing the formula are formatted as 'text' instead of the 'General' type. This happens when the user inserts a new column, next to a column that is already formatted as text due to which the new column inherits the formatting of the adjacent column.

Question 6

You work as an Office Manager for Blue Well Inc. The company has a Windows-based network. You have two budget situations in which one is the worst case and the other is the best case. You want to create both situations on the same worksheet and then switch between them with the change in requirements. Which of the following will you use to accomplish the task?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○
Goal Seek
○
Data table
○
Scenario
○
Solver add-in

Reference / correct answer:

Scenario

A scenario is defined as a type of what-if analysis tools. It is a set of values saved by Excel and can be substituted automatically in cells on a worksheet. A user can create and save different groups of values on a worksheet and then switch to any of these new scenarios to view different results. Scenario reports are not automatically recalculated. If the user changes the values of a scenario, those changes will not be displayed in an existing summary report and he must create a new summary report to show the reflection of the changed report. Answer option A is incorrect. Goal Seek is defined as a type of what-if analysis tools. It is used if a user knows the result that he wants from a formula, but he is not sure what input value the formula needs to get that result. It works with only one variable input value.

Answer option D is incorrect. The Solver add-in is used if a user knows the result that he wants from a formula, but he is not sure what input value the formula needs to get that result. It is used for more than one input value. It works with a group of cells related to the formula in the objective cell. Answer option B is incorrect. A data table is used to see all the outcomes in one place. It is defined as a type of what-if analysis tools. It is used if a user has a formula that uses one or two variables or multiple formulas that all use one common variable. It is used to examine a range of possibilities at a glance and since the user focuses on only one or two variables, results are easy to read and share in tabular form. If automatic recalculation is enabled, it is possible to recalculate the data in data tables immediately and as a result, the user always gets fresh data.
