The purpose of this task is to learn how to use the course technology including
the homework submission software (Gradescope), and to use some basic features of
MS Excel.
One team member will save the MS Excel online spreadsheet created
in Task 2 to their device and open the file in the desktop
version of MS Excel.
In MS Excel online, click File ‣ Save As ‣ Download a Copy. This will save a copy of the file on your device.
Open the File Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac) and
find the document listed under your Downloads folder. Move
the file to your Excel_1 folder created in
Task 1, then double-click the file to open it in
MS Excel.
From the desktop version of MS Excel, print the spreadsheet to a
PDF by selecting File ‣ Print. Before you print, adjust
the scaling settings to fit all the information on a single page for
technical presentation. Then save the PDF in your Excel_1 folder with
the file name
ex1_team_teamnumber_values.pdf.
For PCs: Make sure the printer is set to Microsoft Print to PDF. Then select Print.
For Macs: Select Save as PDF… in the PDF
dropdown. For help printing to one page on a Mac, click

Now we will save a PDF copy of the spreadsheet with the formulas showing.
To do this, click on Formulas ‣ Show Formulas. Then follow
the steps above to print the spreadsheet with the formulas visible. Save the
PDF in your Excel_1 folder created in Task 1 and
name the file ex1_team_teamnumber_formulas.pdf.

Note
MS Excel Online will allow you to show formulas in the spreadsheet
but will not allow you to print a PDF with the formulas visible. Therefore,
this step needs to be completed in the desktop version of MS Excel.
Once you have both files saved as PDFs, go to Gradescope and upload all required
deliverables. Verify both files are uploaded
before you submit.
