Assignment 7: IF Function and Conditional Formatting
Assignment Goal: This exercise is designed for students to learn how to create IF functions and use conditional formatting to better visualize data trends.
Weekly Outcomes: At the completion of this week’s assignment, students will have two new columns reflecting “Gains” and “Losses” based on each month’s open and close values.
Weekly Topics/Tasks: IF Function and Conditional Formatting
Create an IF function to determine if each month saw a “Gain” or “Loss” in value (in both years)
Set up the test as [Close Value – Open Value > 0], if true “Gain”, if false “Loss”
Copy the formula to each month by dragging the bottom right corner of the cell down
