  4. Question 4 sur 17

    You want to quickly highlight the 10 largest sales in a column. Which menu do you use?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Conditional Formatting > Top/Bottom Rules > Top 10 Items

    Top/Bottom Rules > Top 10 Items highlights the highest values in the range without changing the order of the data.

  5. Question 5 sur 17

    How do you highlight email addresses that appear more than once in a column?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Duplicate Values

    Duplicate Values highlights repeated entries so you can review them. Remove Duplicates deletes them instead.

  6. Question 6 sur 17

    You select B2:B20 (B2 is the active cell) and want to colour each cell when the value in column E of the same row is over 300. Which rule formula do you enter?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. =E2>300

    Write the formula for the active cell with a relative reference (E2), so it adjusts for every row. $E$2 would check only row 2.

  7. Question 7 sur 17

    You type A2>B2 (with no equal sign) as a conditional formatting formula. What happens?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Excel adds quotes, so the rule is read as text and fails

    Microsoft warns that if you leave out =, Excel adds = and quotes, and you must remove the quotes before the formula works.

  8. Question 8 sur 17

    Two rules apply to B2:B10: "greater than 60,000: blue fill" is above "greater than 70,000: yellow fill" in the Rules Manager. B2 holds 75,000. What fill does B2 get?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Blue

    When conflicting rules apply, the rule higher in the list has precedence. 75,000 is over 60,000, so the blue rule wins. Use Move Up/Move Down to change the order.

  9. Question 9 sur 17

    In the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager, what does the Stop If True box do?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Lower rules are not checked when this rule is true

    Stop If True stops rule evaluation at that rule, so lower rules are not applied to those cells.

  10. Question 10 sur 17

    Which command lets you make a drop-down list in a cell?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Data > Data Validation, then Allow: List

    In the Data Validation box, choose List in Allow, then type the items separated by commas (for example Low,Average,High) in Source.

  11. Question 11 sur 17

    You want a cell to accept only whole numbers from 1 to 40. What do you choose in Data Validation?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Whole Number, between, minimum 1 and maximum 40

    Whole Number limits the cell to whole numbers, and "between" sets lower and upper limits.

  12. Question 12 sur 17

    Which Error Alert style stops people from entering a value that breaks the rule?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Stop

    Stop prevents invalid data; the user can only retry or cancel. Warning and Information let the user keep the value.

  13. Question 13 sur 17

    You added a validation rule to a column that already had data. How can you find old entries that break the rule?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Use Circle Invalid Data

    Excel does not warn you about existing invalid data. Circle Invalid Data draws circles around those cells.

  14. Question 14 sur 17

    A co-worker pastes values into a cell that has data validation. What happens?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. It may get through, since validation checks typed entries

    Microsoft says data validation shows messages and blocks invalid entries only when users type directly in a cell. Copied or filled data can bypass it.

  15. Question 15 sur 17

    You select A1:C8 below and use Data > Remove Duplicates with all three columns checked. How many data rows are left?
    ABC
    1NameEmailShift
    2Ana Diazana@example.comDay
    3Ben Coleben@example.comNight
    4Ana Diazana@example.comDay
    5Chen Wuchen@example.comDay
    6Ben Coleben@example.comDay
    7Dina Roydina@example.comNight
    8Chen Wuchen@example.comDay
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. 5

    A row is removed only if all checked columns match an earlier row. Ana Diaz/Day and Chen Wu/Day repeat; Ben Cole has Night and Day, so both stay: 7 - 2 = 5.

  16. Question 16 sur 17

    You select A1:C8 below and use Remove Duplicates with only the Email column checked. How many data rows are left?
    ABC
    1NameEmailShift
    2Ana Diazana@example.comDay
    3Ben Coleben@example.comNight
    4Ana Diazana@example.comDay
    5Chen Wuchen@example.comDay
    6Ben Coleben@example.comDay
    7Dina Roydina@example.comNight
    8Chen Wuchen@example.comDay
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. 4

    Now only Email is compared, so each email address is kept once: ana, ben, chen and dina.

  17. Question 17 sur 17

    In the sheet below, what does =UNIQUE(B2:B8,FALSE,TRUE) return?
    ABC
    1NameEmailShift
    2Ana Diazana@example.comDay
    3Ben Coleben@example.comNight
    4Ana Diazana@example.comDay
    5Chen Wuchen@example.comDay
    6Ben Coleben@example.comDay
    7Dina Roydina@example.comNight
    8Chen Wuchen@example.comDay
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. dina@example.com

    With exactly_once set to TRUE, UNIQUE returns only values that appear exactly once. Only dina@example.com appears once.
