... by pulling vectored data from two different worksheets into a new formula
-
Copy cells A4 through A54 from the 09-USA-OASDI worksheet.
Paste these cells into cells B7 through B57 on the Summary worksheet.
Then, in cell D7, insert a formula that will draw values from two other worksheets.
The formula should divide Alabama's "65 or older" from the 09-USA-OASDI worksheet
by Alabama's "Total Living Korean War Veterans as of September 30, 2017" from the 10-KoreanWar_State worksheet.
Remember, this is a formula, not a function.
Then we will demonstrate cell formatting skills based on the type of data the cells contain
-
Once you have created the formula,
format the cell to display percentages to two decimal places.
Remember to format the output of all functions and formulas so that the numbers are displayed as the type of number they are.
-
Once you have formatted the data in the cell,
drag the cell down the column to apply the same formula and formatting for all state rows
