2) Notes for creating this exercise:
  • You should avoid any cell references (except in the date headings in row 1, where they are allowed)
  • You get brownie points for applying styles, data validation and protection
3) Now create a calculation sheet following the same principles:
Exercise screen-shot 562 Again, the middle months have been hidden for the diagram
