Microsoft Excel 2007
Range names and absolute references exercise
Harder than average exercise

This Microsoft Excel 2007 RANGE NAMES AND ABSOLUTE REFERENCES exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to assess their suitability for the Wise Owl EXCEL 2007 BUSINESS MODELLING course only, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Exercise: Sales reps - Range names and absolute references

A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!

1)	Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-817.zip (and click here if you experience any problems unzipping this file after downloading it).
2)	Create the following range names: Sales - referring to C5:C11 Rates - referring to D4:M4
3)	Use the range names to calculate the commission for each salesperson.
	You can copy the single formula across then down
4)	Try repeating the exercise using absolute references instead of range names.
You should be able to create a single formula in D17 that you can copy across and then down.  Range names are much easier though!
