Check with friends and family to get their recommendations on credit card companies to research. Use Excel s Research tool to locate and insert the appropriate information. You may also conduct research on the Web at After you finish conducting your research, prepare the basic worksheet and enter the data. Then, do the following: Include descriptive worksheet title(s) and column labels and apply attractive fonts. Format the numeric data as appropriate. Adjust column widths, row heights, and font sizes. Apply an AutoFormat, or use Excel s formatting features to devise your own format. Insert one or more clip art images. Add functions that calculate the minimum and maximum APR. Create a chart that compares the APR for the five companies. Be sure to choose a chart type that fits the data, and format the chart to enhance its appearance and readability (include the interest rates as data labels). Add a graphic arrow to the chart that draws attention to the credit card company that looks the most attractive to you and your team. Preview the worksheet and chart, and make any necessary adjustments such as changing the page orientation or centering the data on the page. Include your team name in a footer. When you re finished, review and discuss the information and make any necessary changes. Verify that you ve entered the data correctly and that all formulas are correct.
