Formula kid — finale

Grades, pocket money and a dashboard — everything counts itself.

Formula kid = the spreadsheet thinks for you

Twelve lessons: equals, SUM, average, copying a formula, MIN, MAX, COUNT, dollars, references between sheets, errors, pocket money, colours by rules. The finale = everything together in workbook Tables with Martin.

Then pick up the Formula kid certificate ➗ on 修了証.

💡

A certificate makes sense when you can really change a grade and the average recalculates itself. Show a parent. You are not a “lesson clicker” — you are someone who can do a formula.

Big project: three sheets + a dashboard

  1. Grades: B3+ grades. Under them Total =SUM(...), Average =AVERAGE(...), Best =MIN(...), Worst =MAX(...). The range fits. Conditional formatting for ≥3.

  2. Pocket: D2 =B2-C2 dragged to D8. B10–B12 totals and the week difference. Negative D in red.

  3. Survey: column B votes. Total votes =SUM(...), Number of answers =COUNT(...).

  4. Dashboard: B3 =AVERAGE(Grades!...), B4 =SUM(Pocket!B2:B8) or the week difference, B5 =SUM(Survey!...). No number copied by hand that another sheet already counts.

  5. Change one grade, one spend, one vote. The Dashboard and summaries must move.

⚠️

Go through the whole workbook for errors. No #DIV/0!, #REF!, #VALUE! in the version you hand in. If there is, fix data or a range — do not delete the formula.

A live test — a teacher simulation

  1. Add a subject and a grade on Grades. Average and MIN/MAX OK?

  2. Delete the content of one cell in a formula — an error? Fix it.

  3. Open the Dashboard. Do three numbers match the sheets?

  4. Sharing: the teacher Viewer. You still Editor.

🏫 Grade average One sheet, two columns: subject and grade. At the bottom a sum and an average.
💰 Pocket money Rows = days, columns = income / spend / left.
📊 Class survey One question, answers in one column, later a chart.
🏆 Mini dashboard Three numbers at the top and one chart. Numbers as a link, not copied by hand.

What next — Chart maker

A chart from the survey, number format, print. Formula kid gave logic. Chart maker gives a picture. The mini dashboard will get a chart — three numbers you already have as links.

Now you 💪

Final Formula kid checklist — all YES:

  1. Grades: an average in a formula, not a pencil. MIN/MAX under the data.
  2. Pocket: the whole of column D with a formula. Totals under the week.
  3. Survey: SUM of votes.
  4. Dashboard: three live links via Sheet!.
  5. A change of data = a recalculation everywhere.
  6. Conditional formatting on grades or the pocket.
  7. No error cell in the finished workbook.
  8. Cell kid look still fits (headings, borders).

Formula kid 完了. You can do equals, functions, copying, references between sheets and fixing errors. 修了証 ➗ Formula kid on 修了証. Next level: Chart maker — from numbers we will make a chart.
