Chapter 10, Problem 13ICA

You are interested in analyzing different implant parts being made in a bioengineering production facility. The company can make nine different parts for shoulder, knee, or hip replacement.

On the worksheet shown, you have created a place for the user to choose the body location (shoulder, knee, or hip) in cell B5 using a data validation list. Once the body location is set, a list of material choices will appear in cells D5 to F5. The user can choose a material in cell B6 using a data validation list. If the material chosen does not match one of the possible choices in cells D5 to F5, a warning will be issued for the user to choose another material.

In cell B9, the user will choose if the part is size small (S), medium (M), or large (L) using a data validation list. Based upon body location and size, the part number will adjust automatically using a VLOOKUP function. After the part number has been determined, the material weight (cell B11) and part volume (cell B12) will adjust automatically using a VLOOKUP function.

The user will enter the number of desired parts in cell B14. If the user requests more than 250 parts, a warning of “Too Many” will be issued; if the user requests fewer than 20 parts, a warning of “Too Small” will be issued in cell C14.

The amount of material to be ordered will be determined in cell B16 by multiplying the number of pans and the material weight. The cost of the material to be ordered will be determined in cell B17. If the order cost is greater than $1000, a request to “Check with Purchasing” will appear, otherwise, the cost of the order will appear. Finally, in cell B18 the amount of boxes needed for shipping will appear determined by the number of parts requested and the number of pans per box, based on the pan number chosen in cell B10.

Lookup functions in Excel contain four parts.

=VLOOKUP (__ (1) __,__(2) __,__ (3) __,__ (4) __)

1. a. Fill in the following information in the VLOOKUP function used to determine the third possible material choice in cell F5 based on the choice of body location in cell B5

   An IF statement in Excel contains three pans. Fill in the following information in the IF function used to determine the following conditions:

   = IF(__ (1) __,__ (2) __,__ (3) __)

1. b. In cell C6, a warning is issued to the user if the material chosen in cell B6 does not match the list of materials provided in cells D5 to F5. Fill in the IF statement used to create this error message, containing a complex IF test using AND or OR.

   A nested IF statement in Excel contains three parts per IF statement. Fill in the following information in the IF function used to determine the following conditions:

=IF (__ (1a) __,__ (2a) __, IF(__ (1b) __,__ (2b) __,__ (3b) __))

1. c. In cell B14, the user can enter the number of parts needed in production. If this value is more than 250 parts, a warning will appear in cell C14 telling the user the quantity is too high; if the value is less than 20, a warring will tell the user the quantity is too small; otherwise, the cell remains blank.
2. d. In order for Excel to display the correct number of boxes needed, the following functions are tried. Which one will correctly display the number of boxes needed to ship the parts?
   1. A.    = B14/VLOOKUP(B10, J1:L10, 3, FALSE)
   2. B.     = ROUND(B14/VLOOKUP(B10, J1:L10, 3, FALSE), 0)
   3. C.     = ROUNDDOWN(B14/VLOOKUP(B10, J1:L10, 3, FALSE),0)
   4. D.    = ROUNDUP(B14/VLOOKUP(B10, J1:L10, 3, FALSE), 0)
   5. E.     = TRUNC(B14 VLOOKUP(B10, J1:L10, 3, FALSE), 0)
