ActiveX controls are used on worksheet forms, with or without the use of VBA code, and on VBA UserForms. They are used when a user needs more flexible design requirements than those provided by Form controls. They have extensive properties that can be used to customize their appearance, behavior, fonts, and other characteristics. The user can control different events that occur when an ActiveX control is interacted with. He can also write macros that respond to events associated with the ActiveX controls. When a user interacts with the control, the VBA code runs to process any events that occur for that control. The ActiveX controls cannot be added to chart sheets from the user interface or to XLM macro sheets. It is not possible to assign a macro to run directly from the ActiveX control.

A data table is used to see all the outcomes in one place. It is defined as a type of what-if analysis tools. It is used if a user has a formula that uses one or two variables or multiple formulas that all use one common variable. It is used to examine a range of possibilities at a glance and since the user focuses on only one or two variables, results are easy to read and share in tabular form. If automatic recalculation is enabled, it is possible to recalculate the data in data tables immediately and as a result, the user always gets fresh data. Answer option D is incorrect. A scenario is defined as a type of what-if analysis tools. It is a set of values saved by Excel and can be substituted automatically in cells on a worksheet. A user can create and save different groups of values on a worksheet and then switch to any of these new scenarios to view different results. Scenario reports are not automatically recalculated. If the user changes the values of a scenario, those changes will not be displayed in an existing summary report and he must create a new summary report to show the reflection of the changed report. Answer option A is incorrect. Goal Seek is defined as a type of what-if analysis tools. It is used if a user knows the result that he wants from a formula, but he is not sure what input value the formula needs to get that result. It works with only one variable input value. Answer option B is incorrect. The Solver add-in is used if a user knows the result that he wants from a formula, but he is not sure what input value the formula needs to get that result. It is used for more than one input value. It works with a group of cells related to the formula in the objective cell.

Correct Answer: C

A sparkline is defined as a tiny chart in the background of a cell. Unlike charts on an Excel Worksheet, sparklines are not objects. It is used because data presented in a row or column is useful, but patterns can be hard to spot at a glance. It is used to display a trend based on adjacent data in a clear and compact graphical representation by taking up a small amount of space. The benefit of using the sparklines is that these can be printed when a user prints a worksheet that contains them. This feature is not available in charts. Answer option D is incorrect.

Line charts are ideal for showing trends in data at equal intervals.

A line chart should be used where category labels are text, and are representing evenly spaced Values such as months, quarters, or years.

Correct Answer: AB

The Failure to Look Up Values in Excel error occurs when a user gets an unexpected error while trying to look up or match a lookup_value within an array and Excel is not able to recognize the matching value. If the lookup_value or the array the user is searching resides in a cell, the user can have unseen spaces at the start or end of that cell. This will create the situation where the contents of the two cells that the user is comparing look the same but extra spaces in one of the cells cause the cells to have slightly different content. The other reason is that the contents of the cells that are being compared may have different data types. Answer option C is incorrect. The Lookup Function Won't Copy Down to Other Rows error occurs when a user uses a function in one cell and it works perfectly but when he attempts to copy the function down to other rows, he gets the #REF error. The #REF! error arises when Excel tries to reference an invalid cell. This error occurs if the user has referenced an entire worksheet by clicking on the grey square at the top left of the worksheet. For Excel, this reference range is 1 to 1048576. Since the references are Relative References, Excel automatically increases the row references when this cell is copied down to other rows in the spreadsheet. Answer option D is incorrect. The Excel Won't Calculate My Function error occurs when a user types in a function and presses Enter, the cell shows the function as the user typed it, instead of returning the function's value. The reason that causes this problem is that the cells containing the formula are formatted as 'text' instead of the 'General' type. This happens when the user inserts a new column, next to a column that is already formatted as text due to which the new column inherits the formatting of the adjacent column.

Correct Answer: D

A macro is defined as a tool that permits a user to automate tasks and add several functionalities to forms, reports, and controls. For example, if a user adds a command button to a form, he associates the button's OnClick event to a macro,

and the macro consists of the commands that are to be performed by the button each time it is clicked. The macro records the user's mouse clicks and keystrokes while he works and lets him play them back later. The macro can be used to

record the sequence of commands that the user uses to perform a certain task. When the user runs the macro, it plays those exact commands back in the same order.

Answer option B is incorrect. Evaluate Formula is a formula examination tool provided by Microsoft Excel. This tool is useful for examining formulas that do not produce any error but are not generating the expected result.

Answer options A and C are incorrect. The benefit of connecting to external data from Microsoft Excel is that a user can automatically update Excel workbooks from the real data source wheneverthe data source is updated with new

information. It is possible that the external data connection might be disabled on the computer. For connecting to the data source whenever a workbook is opened, it is required to enable data connections by using the Trust Center bar or by

putting the workbook in a trusted location.

Correct Answer: AB

The various issues with exporting XML data are as follows:

1.

MAP CAN BE EXPORTED BUT SOME REQUIRED ELEMENTS ARE NOT MAPPED:

This error occurs under the following situations:

The XML map associated with this XML table contains one or more required elements that are not mapped to the XML table. The element is a recursive structure. The XML table contains a variety of mixed content.

2.

EXCEL CANNOT SAVE THE WORKBOOK BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY XML MAPPINGS: Excel cannot save the user's workbook in the XML Data file unless one or more mapped ranges are created.

3.

XML MAPS IN MY WORKBOOK ARE NOT EXPORTABLE: An XML mapping cannot be exported if the relationship of the mapped element with other elements is not preserved due to the following reasons:

The mapped element's schema definition is contained within a sequence with the following attributes:

The maxoccurs attribute is not equal to 1.

The sequence has more than one direct child element defined or has an extra compositor as a direct child.

Nonrepeating sibling elements with the same repeating parent element are mapped to dissimilar XML tables.

Various repeating elements are mapped to the same XML table and the recurrence is not defined by an ancestor element.

Child elements from various parents are mapped to the same XML table. XML schema constructs a list of lists, denormalized data, or a choice construct.
