Summary
Create a Microsoft Excel file with four worksheets that provides extensive use of Excel capabilities including
graphing, and written analysis and recommendations in support of a business enterprise.
A large rental car company has two metropolitan locations, one at the airport and another centrally located in
downtown. It has been operating since 2015 and each location summarizes its car rental revenue
quarterly. Both locations rent two classes of cars: economy and premium. Rental revenue is maintained
separately for the two classes of rental vehicles.


The data for this case resides in the file Excel Project 1-Data.txt and can be downloaded by clicking on the
Assignments tab, then on the data tile name. It is a text file (with the file type .txt).
Do not create your own data. You must use the data provided and only the data provided.

delete the blank Data worksheet, and then rename the new
worksheet which HAS the recently imported data as
“Data.” It may be necessary to change Revenue to

2015.

For the questions below, present your answers in a very readable format under the data. These
answers may be placed on the page below your chart if there is not sufficient room on page 1. Do
not let the answers be "split" over more than one page. You can type your answer in one cell (in
Column A), then highlighting and selecting several rows and columns, selecting merge cells and
selecting Wrap Text. Do NOT widen the columns as this will adversely impact the appearance of
the data above. You will want to change the text from Center to Left justification. Play with this a
bit. If you simply type your answer on a single line in Column A, that will also be ok. But be sure
the entire answer can be read without the reader having to change any formatting.
