Calculate the payment amount for the loan in cell C15. Reference the cells containing the appropriate loan information as the arguments for the function you use. Cells C20-C67 in the "Payment" column are populated with the payment amount from cell C15. =PMT(C13/12,C12,C11) Calculate, in cell D20, the interest amount for period 1 by multiplying the balance in period 0 (cell F19) by the loan interest rate (cell C13) divided by 12. Dividing the interest rate by 12 results in the monthly interest rate. This formula is reusable. The interest for a given period is always the monthly interest rate times the balance from the previous period. f =F19*C$13/ Copy the Interest amount calcualtion down to complete the "interest" column of the amortization table. Paste down column. Calculate, in cell E20, the principal amount for period 1. The principal amount is the difference between the payment amount (cell C20) and the interest amount (cell D20) for period 1. Construct your formula in such a way that it can be reused to complete the "principal" column of the amortization table. =C20-D
Copy the principal amount calculation down to complete the "principal" column of the amortization table. Copy and paste down. Calculate, in cell F20, the balance for period 1. The balance is the difference between the balance for period 0 (cell F19) and the principal amount for period 1 (cell E20). This formula is reusable. The balance is always calculated as the difference between the balance from the previous period and the principal amount for the current period. =F19-E Copy the balance amount calculation down to complete the balance column of the amortization table. Copy and paste down. Calculate, in cell G12, the total amount paid by multiplying the payment amount (cell C15) by the term of the loan (cell C12). =C15*C Calculate the total interest paid in cell G13. The total interest paid is the sum of all interest paid in the "Interest" column of the amortization table. =SUM(D20:D67) Check to see if the total interest calculation in the amortization table is correct. The total interest paid is also equal to the difference between the total amount paid over the course of the loan and the original loan amount. Insert a formula into cell G14 to calculate the difference between the total amount paid and the original loan
Use the IF function to complete the "Time Bonus $" column of table 1. If an employee earns a time bonus (i.e., the corresponding cell in the "Time Bonus?" column is TRUE), then "Time Bonus $" is the "Job Pay" for that project times the bonus percentage in cell M11. Otherwise "Time Bonus $" is 0. =IF(I16=True, K16M$11,0) Use the IF function to complete the "Outcome Bonus $" column of table 1. If an employee earns an outcome bonus (i.e., the corresponding cell in the "Outcome Bonus?" column is TRUE), then "Outcome Bonus $" is the "Job Pay" for that project times the outcome bonus percentage in cell M12; otherwise, "Outcome Bonus $" is 0. =IF(J16=True, K16M$12,0) Use the IF function to complete the "Comments" column of table 1. Display "Good Job" if both the "Hours Worked" are less than or equal to the "Estimated Hours" for a project and the assessed "Quality" of that project is greater than 1. Display "Too Much Time" if the "Hours Worked" on a project exceed the "Estimated Hours" for that project; otherwise, display "Poor Quality." =IF(AND(E16<=C16, H16>1) , "Good Job", IF(E16>C16,"Too Much Time","Poor Quality")) Use the Vlookup Function to complete the "employee" column of table 2. Use "job Id" from table 2 as your lookup_value(s) and table 1 as your reference. =vlookup(B40,B$16:D$35,3)
Use the Vlookup function to complete the "difficulty" column of Table
- Again use "job ID" from table 2 as the lookup_value(s) and table 1 as the reference table. =Vlookup(B40,B$16:H$35,6) Use the Countif function to complete the #of Jobs, column in table 3. Reference the "employee" names in table three as your criteria. =Countif(B16:D35,G39) Use the SUMIF function to complete the "total hours" column in table 1 as your range and the "employee" names in table three as your criteria. =sumif(D$16:D$35, G39, E$16:E$35) Use the SUMIF function to complete the "Total Pay" column in table 3. Reference the "Employee" field in table 1 as your range, the "Employee" names in table 3 as your criteria, and the "Total Pay" field in table 1 as your sum_range. =SUMIF(D$16:D$35,G39,N$16:N$35) Use the COUNTIF function to complete the "# of Touch-ups" column in table 4. Reference the appropriate field in table 2 as your range and the "Difficulty" rating in table 4 as your criteria. =COUNTIF(D$40:D$46,G46) Use the SUMIF function to complete the "Cost Touch-ups" column in table 4. Reference the appropriate field in table 2 as your range and the "Difficulty" rating in table 4 as your criteria. =SUMIF(D$40:D$46,G46,E$40:E$46)

Use the LEN function in cell D10 to determine the number of characters in the statement template in cell D9. =LEN(D9) Use the SEARCH function in cell D11 to determine the position of the "#" character in the statement template (cell D9). =SEARCH("#",D9) Use the SEARCH function in cell D12 to determine the position of the "$" character in the statement template (cell D9). =SEARCH("$",D9) Use the LEFT function in cell D13 to return the text "I spent $" from the statement template in cell D9. Refer to the location of the "$" character you calculated in cell D12 as the "num_char" argument for your function. =LEFT(D9,D12) Use the MID function in cell D14 to return the text "at merchant #" from the statement template in cell D9. Refer to the location of the "$" (in cell D12)—adjusted by adding 1—as the "start_num" argument. Use the difference between the location of the "#" character (in cell D11) and the "$" character (in cell D12) as the "num_char" argument. =MID(D9,D12+1,D11-D12) Use the RIGHT function in cell D15 to return the text "on:" from the statement template in cell D9. Use the difference between the length
Use the CONCAT function (or the CONCATENATE function if you are using Excel 2013 or earlier) in cell J18 to create the "Date" by combining the "Month" in cell E18 with the "Day" in cell F18. "Date" should use this syntax: "Month/Day." Your function should, therefore, also insert the "/" character between the "Month" and "Day." Copy and paste your formula down to complete the "Date" column of the table. =CONCAT(E18,"/",F18) Use the CONCAT function (or the CONCATENATE function if you are using Excel 2013 or earlier) to create the "Transaction Statement" in cell K18. The statement in cell K18 should read "I spent $24.06 at merchant #4931 on: 8/1". To make this statement, combine "Statement P1" in cell D13, the "Amount" in cell D18, "Statement P2" in cell D14, the "Merchant ID" in cell C18, "Statement P3" in cell D15, and the "Date" in cell J18.
