In this project extension, you will enhance your career research by adding a new sheet to your spreadsheet. This additional sheet is designed to summarize the results of the data you’ve gathered about different careers, making it more straightforward for you to understand and evaluate your research. Start by adding a new sheet to your spreadsheet. It’s important to give each sheet a brief, yet clear name that accurately describes the information it contains. Once your new sheet is in place, begin the process of transferring information. Copy the column headers from your original Career Research table and paste them onto the new sheet. Next, copy the names of each career you have researched and paste them under the “careers” header in the new sheet.
Now, focus on the data that represents the averages for each career. Copy these rows and use the “paste special” option to transfer them into your new sheet. The “paste special” feature is particularly useful as it allows you to paste only the cell values, omitting any formulas or formatting from the original sheet. This ensures that your data is displayed correctly in the new sheet. Once you have all the necessary data in place, it’s time to format the new sheet. To do this efficiently, you can copy the formatting from your original sheet and apply it to the new one. This method maintains a consistent and professional look across your spreadsheet. With these steps completed, you’ll have a new, well-organized sheet that simplifies the comparison of different career paths. As you continue your research, adding more careers and new categories to your original sheet, remember to update your summary sheet accordingly. Now it’s your turn to take these steps: Add a new sheet and name both sheets, copy and paste your original column headers, career titles, and averages data into the new sheet, and then apply the appropriate formatting.
