Excel 2013 Expert Part One: 77-427

Correct Answer: BD

The Lookup Function Won't Copy Down to Other Rows error occurs when a user uses a function in one cell and it works perfectly but when he attempts to copy the function down to other rows, he gets the #REF error. The #REF! Error arises when Excel tries to reference an invalid cell. This error occurs if the user has referenced an entire worksheet by clicking on the grey square at the top left of the worksheet. For Excel, this reference range is 1 to 1048576. Since the references are Relative References, Excel automatically increases the row references when this cell is copied down to other rows in the spreadsheet. Answer option C is incorrect. The Failure to Look Up Values in Excel error occurs when a user gets an unexpected error while trying to look up or match a lookup_value within an array and Excel is not able to recognize the matching value. If the lookup_value or the array the user is searching resides in a cell, the user can have unseen spaces at the start or end of that cell. This will create the situation where the contents of the two cells that the user is comparing look the same but extra spaces in one of the cells cause the cells to have slightly different content. The other reason is that the contents of the cells that are being compared may have different data types.

Answer option A is incorrect. The Excel Won't Calculate My Function error occurs when a user types in a function and presses Enter; the cell shows the function as the user typed it, instead of returning the function's value. The reason that causes this problem is that the cells containing the formula are formatted as 'text' instead of the 'General' type. This happens when the user inserts a new column, next to a column that is already formatted as text due to which the new column inherits the formatting of the adjacent column.

Correct Answer: D

The PivotChart report is used to provide a graphical representation of data in a PivotTable report in an interactive way. Whenever a user creates the PivotChart report, PivotChart report filters are displayed in the chart area. These are used for sorting and filtering the underlying data of the PivotChart report. Changes made to the layout and data in the associated PivotTable report are immediately reflected in the layout and data in the PivotChart report. The PivotChart report shows data series, categories, data markers, and axes in the same way as the standard charts do. It is possible to change the chart type and other options such as titles, legend placement, data labels, and chart location. Answer option A is incorrect. Stand-alone slicers are referenced from Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) Cube functions. These stand-alone slicers can be connected with any PivotTable in future. They can be added by using the slicer button on the Ribbon. They need to be manually linked into grids as required.

Answer option C is incorrect. A form control is an original control that is compatible with old versions of Excel, beginning with Excel version 5. 0. It is designed for use on XLM macro sheets. It can be used when a user wants to simply interact

with cell data without using VBA code and when he wants to add controls to chart sheets. By using form controls, the user can run macros. He can attach an existing macro to a control, or write or record a new macro. These controls cannot

be added to UserForms, used to control events, or modified to run Web scripts on Web pages.

Answer option B is incorrect. A PivotTable report is used to summarize large amounts of data, to analyze numerical data, and to answer unexpected questions about data.

Correct Answer: A

A trendline is defined in Excel 2013. It is a data visualization tool to display the trend of a particular data range. It is used to show the slope of data points in a chart. There are various types of trendlines, such as linear trendlines, exponential trendlines, and linear forecast trendlines. Answer option B is incorrect. A sparkline is defined as a tiny chart in the background of a cell. Unlike charts on an Excel worksheet, sparklines are not objects. It is used because data presented in a row or column is useful, but patterns can be hard to spot at a glance. It is used to display a trend based on adjacent data in a clear and compact graphical representation by taking up a small amount of space. The benefit of using the sparklines is that these can be printed when a user prints a worksheet that contains them. This feature is not available in charts. Answer option C is incorrect. The Microsoft Office Backstage view is used to replace the traditional file menu with a new approach that uses In and Out features for efficiency. The improved Ribbon enables users to access their preferred commands rapidly and create custom tabs to personalize the way they work.Answer option D is incorrect. Excel provides a column chart facility to display data that is arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet. Line charts are used to display continuous data over time, set against a common scale. In a line chart, category data is distributed along the horizontal axis, and all value data is distributed along the vertical axis. Line charts are ideal for showing trends in data at equal intervals.

A line chart should be used where category labels are text, and are representing evenly spaced values such as months, quarters, or years.
