Spreadsheet Modelling – Assignment 3 – Excerpt

User Documentation [P9]

Introduction

The following document details the process of submitting information about yourself and your visit to the United Kingdom using the form on the appropriate computers in our tourist information offices. This form is created using Microsoft Excel, and uses a macro to submit the data to a separate table. We can then collect the information people have submitted from around the country, and generate a wide variety of statistical information about tourism in the UK. The information you submit is anonymous, and we respect your right to leave any of the form fields blank if you feel the information is too personal.

Data Submission

The first field of the form, the Date field, should already be filled in with the current date. If this is not the case, please tell a member of staff. This cell does not require any input from you.

The second field requires you to enter a home country. The easiest way to do this without causing trouble is by clicking the downward arrow to the right of the cell when it is selected. This will show a list of nations available for selection. If your own is not shown, please select Rest of World, and tell a member of staff.

Continue the process of selecting the most appropriate option from the lists provided in each field. The last two fields, Cost of Visit (£) and Comments require you to instead type an answer. The images below may help to illustrate the process.

The page may flicker for a short period of time, but a window will appear afterwards confirming that the data has been submitted if everything has worked. If this window does not appear, please tell a member of staff in the tourist office.
