Excel – Tutorial 2 – Absolute Cell Address, Formatting
Open the file Sales and Expenses and save as Net Profit
Insert Rows
To select a row 2, click the mouse at row numbered 2.
Click Insert icon and choose Insert Sheet Rows.
Excel will insert a new row at row 2.
Type the following:
At cell E1 – Tax
F1 – Net Profit
E2 – 7%
To calculate Tax at 7% for Alex, in cell E3, type the formula =D3*E2 and press Enter.
Place the pointer in cell E3 and copy down the formula till cell E6.
Hmm…. Something is not right!
Let us find out what happened.
Place the pointer in cell E4 and look at the Formula Bar.
It displays =D4*E3.
D4 has the profit, but E3 does not have 7%. Right?
Why this has happened?
Whenever you copy a formula down, row numbers in the formula will increase.
While this is OK for column D (profit), the tax rate 7% is only at cell E3 and should not be changed.
So how we can fix this?
$E$2 (absolute cell address) is to keep the cell fixed, while you copy a formula so it always refers to 7%.
To calculate Net Profit for Alex, in cell F3, type the formula =D3 – E3 and press Enter.
Place the pointer in cell F3 and copy down the formula till cell F6.
Type the following:
Save the file.
Use the formatting tool bar and try to format the spreadsheet as follows.

Whenever you copy a formula down, row numbers in the formula will increase.
While this is OK for column D (profit), the tax rate 7% is only at cell E3 and should not be changed.
So how we can fix this?
- First, select cells E3 to E6 and press Delete button.
- Now in cell E3, type the formula =D3*$E$2 and press Enter.
- Place the pointer in cell E3 and copy down the formula till cell E6.
$E$2 (absolute cell address) is to keep the cell fixed, while you copy a formula so it always refers to 7%.
To calculate Net Profit for Alex, in cell F3, type the formula =D3 – E3 and press Enter.
Place the pointer in cell F3 and copy down the formula till cell F6.
Type the following:
- At cell A9 – Total
- To find total sales at B9, type =sum(B4:B5) and Press Enter.

- Setup Spam filters.
- Delete all unnecessary emails that escapes spam filter. Add the sender to Junk list.
- FYI emails are junked or filed according to its content.
- If an email ping-pong more than THREE times, I will pick up the phone or Skype. The person do not understand my writing.
- Use Reply. Only when absolutely necessary, Reply to all.
- Is that CC really necessary?

Am I overworked?
I use a simple calculation.
I need 8 hours of good sleep, every night. For me, good sleep in the night is well connected to my next day's productivity.
So I am left with 24 - 8 = 16 hours per day.
That is 16 x 7 days = 112 hours per week.
I total up my lecture, consulting, training, preparation, exercise, personal time for the week.
If it is more than 112 hours, then I am overworked.
I re-look at my calendar, review my tasks and the time I spent on them. If any of my tasks can be simplified, automated or outsourced, I will do that immediately.
How about you?

Do it right, first time and every time
One of my tuition student submitted a poor quality home work. I asked him "Why?" and he replied that he do not have enough time to do a good job.
I asked him to resubmit it again and this time round he has done well.
If he does not have the time to do it correctly how he can find the time to do it again? Actually he had the time, but done his work last minute and submitted an incomplete work.
Imagine you have rushed and reached your client's office, only to find that you forgot to bring your product samples to show the client for closing the important order.
Now you have to reschedule the meeting and wasted your client's time.
If you have spent a few more minutes to check all items before you leave your office....
So whenever you do your job, put your full focus and do it right. If not, it will cost you more time, effort and money.

- Place the pointer in cell B10, type the formula as above and press Enter.
How the formula works
- Vlookup search a vertical list (A2:C6) for a unique lookup value (A10) and return the corresponding value from the second (2) column of the list.
Now type a similar formula for cell C10.
Tip: You just have to change the number 2 to 3, as Price is in the third column.

Now they really know where their time goes.
I ask them whether any slots filled in with "All Others" is really important or necessary. If they find any of these slots unnecessary (usually they will), I ask them whether these slots can be used productively.
