Explanation of Solution

Spreadsheet to track project’s activities:

Step 1: Design a spreadsheet as shown below.

The below spreadsheet contains columns like “Start date”, “End date”, “Status”, “Estimated amount”, “Actual amount”, “Slippage”, and “Gain or Loss”.

Screenshot of the spreadsheet

In the above spreadsheet,

  • The activities are listed from “D6” to “D10”.
  • The start dates are listed in the cells from “E6” to “E10”.
  • The end dates are listed in the cells from “F6” to “F10”.
  • The statuses of the activities are listed in the cells from “G6” to “G10”.
  • The estimated amounts are listed in the cells from “H6” to “H10”.
  • The actual amounts are listed in the cells from “H6” to “H10”.

Step 2: Computing slippage for each activity:

Screenshot of the spreadsheet

In the above spreadsheet,

  • The slippage for each activity is calculated by subtracting actual amount from estimated amount.
  • The cell “J6” contains the formula “H6-I6”.
  • The cell “J7” contains the formula “H7-I7”.
  • The cell “J8” contains the formula “H8-I8”.
  • The cell “J9” contains the formula “H9-I9”.
  • The cell “J10” contains the formula “H10-I10”.

After calculating, the spreadsheet looks like the below screenshot.

Step 3: Computing Gain or Loss for each activity

Loss or Gain is calculated by using “IF” condition.

Screenshot of the spreadsheet

In the above spreadsheet,

  • The cell “K6” contains the formula “IF(J6>0, "Gain","Loss")”.
  • The cell “K7” contains the formula “IF(J7>0, "Gain","Loss")”.
  • The cell “K8” contains the formula “IF(J8>0, "Gain","Loss")”...

I cannot program smart home automation rules from my device using a computer or phone, and I would like to know how to properly connect devices such as switches and sensors together ? Cisco Packet Tracer 1. Smart Home Automation:o Connect a temperature sensor and a fan to a home gateway.o Configure the home gateway so that the fan is activated when the temperature exceedsa set threshold (e.g., 30°C).2. WiFi Network Configuration:o Set up a wireless LAN with a unique SSID.o Enable WPA2 encryption to secure the WiFi network.o Implement MAC address filtering to allow only specific clients to connect.3. WLC Configuration:o Deploy at least two wireless access points connected to a Wireless LAN Controller(WLC).o Configure the WLC to manage the APs, broadcast the configured SSID, and applyconsistent security settings across all APs.
