Most Excel projects start by choosing the most appropriate and useful data to enter into the workbook in a way that will help make meaning of the gathered data. Practise entering data into a new Excel workbook by creating a thorough itinerary for your dream vacation. Your workbook should include the following information: - Travel dates - Modes of transport (car rental reservations, bus or flight tickets, taxi hire, etc.) - Travel routes (main stops in towns, cities, airports, bus stations, etc.) - Travelling time - Accommodation arrangements - Sightseeing stops and other activities - Reservations (for restaurants, amusement parks, etc.) - Any other useful information Use the following tips to create, a well-organised itinerary: - Carefully plan what headings to include in the columns and rows. - Format the cells so that the headings are made clear, and that similar data is easy to identify. - Summarise data by using the SUM, COUNT, and AVERAGE formulas. For example, you can work out total travelling time per day, and compare this to the average daily travelling time.
