   • C7
   • D2
   Mostrar resposta

   Resposta: A. 3

   A filter hides the rows that don't match. Safety vests, Hard hats and Gloves are PPE, so 3 rows stay visible.

6. Pergunta 6 de 17

   What happens to rows that do not match a filter?

   • AThey are sorted to the bottom
   • BThey are deleted from the sheet for good
   • CThey are hidden for now, not deleted

   Mostrar resposta

   Resposta: C. They are hidden for now, not deleted

   Filters temporarily hide data so you can focus on what you need. Clearing the filter shows all the rows again.

9. Pergunta 9 de 17

   You selected only one column inside a larger list and chose Sort. Excel asks whether to expand the selection. What should you usually choose, and why?

   • ACancel, because a list can't be sorted
   • BContinue with the current selection, so the sort is faster
   • CExpand the selection, so each row's data stays together
   • DContinue with the current selection, so other columns stay put
   Mostrar resposta

   Resposta: C. Expand the selection, so each row's data stays together

   Sorting only part of a list can separate values from the rest of their row. Expanding the selection keeps rows together.

10. Pergunta 10 de 17

    In the inventory sheet below, you use Number Filters > Between to show Qty from 10 to 70. How many data rows are visible?

11. Pergunta 11 de 17

    You have selected a cell in a list. Which command turns the list into a formatted Excel table?

    • AData > Filter, then pick a column
    • BHome > Format as Table, then pick a style
    • CView > Freeze Panes, then pick a row
    • DPage Layout > Print Area > Set Print Area
    Mostrar resposta

    Format as Table on the Home tab asks you to pick a style, confirm the range and say whether the table has headers.

12. Pergunta 12 de 17

    When you create a table, what does the "My table has headers" check box tell Excel?

    • AThat the first column should be frozen
    • BThat every column holds numbers
    • CThat row 1 holds column names, not data
    • DThat the table should print on one page
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. That row 1 holds column names, not data

    Tick it when your top row has labels such as Name or Hours, so Excel uses them as column headers.

13. Pergunta 13 de 17

    In an Excel table, you type a formula in one cell of an empty column. What does Excel do?

    • AIt deletes the other rows in the table
    • BIt fills the formula down the whole column
    • CIt turns off the table's filter arrows
    • DIt changes the formula to an absolute reference
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: B. It fills the formula down the whole column

    This is a calculated column: the formula is applied to all the other cells in that column of the table.

14. Pergunta 14 de 17

    You type a new entry in the row directly below the last row of a table. What happens?

    • AExcel shows an error message

    • CA new worksheet is created for it
    • DThe table grows to include the new row
    Mostrar resposta

    Typing just below or just to the right of a table makes the table expand to include the new data.

15. Pergunta 15 de 17

    The data below is an Excel table with a Total Row that sums Hours. You filter the Shift column to show only Night. What does the total show?

    	A	B	C	D
    1	Data	Shift	Guard	Hours
    2	Oct 5	Day	Kim	8
    3	Oct 5	Night	Raj	10
    4	Oct 6	Day	Lee	8
    5	Oct 6	Night	Kim	10
    6	Oct 7	Day	Raj	7.5
    7	Oct 7	Night	Lee	10

    • A53.5
    • B30
    • C3
    • D23.5
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: B. 30

    The Total Row uses the SUBTOTAL function, which ignores rows hidden by a filter. Only the three Night shifts count: 10 + 10 + 10 = 30.

16. Pergunta 16 de 17

    • CData > Filter > (Select All)
    • DView > Freeze Panes > Freeze Top Row
    Mostrar resposta
