Correct Answer: D

The various Protect Workbook options are as follows:

1.

Mark as Final: This option is used to make the document read-only. When a spreadsheet is marked as final, various options such as typing, editing commands, and proofing marks are disabled or turned off and the spreadsheet becomes

read-only. This command helps a user to communicate that he is sharing a completed version of a spreadsheet. This command also prevents reviewers or readers from making inadvertent modifications to the spreadsheet.

2.

Encrypt with Password: When a user selects the Encrypt with Password option, the Encrypt Document dialog box appears. In the Password box, it is required to specify a password. Microsoft is not able to retrieve lost or forgotten

passwords, so it is necessary for a user to keep a list of passwords and corresponding file names in a safe place.

3.

Protect Current Sheet: This option is used to select password protection and permit or prohibit

other users to select, format, insert, delete, sort, or edit areas of the spreadsheet. This option

protects the worksheet and locked cells.

4.

Protect Workbook Structure: This option is used to select password protection and select options to prevent users from changing, moving, and deleting important data. This feature enables a user to protect the structure of the worksheet.

5.

Restrict Permission by People: This option works on the basis of Window Rights Management to restrict permissions. A user is required to use a Windows Live ID or a Microsoft Windows account to restrict permissions. These permissions

can be applied via a template that is used by the organization in which the user is working. These permissions can also be added by clicking Restrict Access.

6.

Add a Digital Signature: This option is used to add a visible or invisible digital signature.

It

authenticates digital information such as documents, e-mail messages, and macros by using computer cryptography. These signatures are created by specifying a signature or by using an image of a signature for establishing authenticity,

integrity, and non-repudiation.

Correct Answer: D

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. Answer option A is incorrect. A form control is an original control that is compatible with old versions of Excel, beginning with Excel version 5. 0. It is designed for use on XLM macro sheets. It can be used when a user wants to simply interact with cell data without using VBA code and when he wants to add controls to chart sheets. By using form controls, the user can run macros. He can attach an existing macro to a control, or write or record a new macro. These controls cannot be added to UserForms, used to control events, or modified to run Web scripts on Web pages. Answer option B is incorrect. The accounting template is used for numbering months of a financial year to period numbering. It is used to compare month to month, actual v budget, quarter to quarter, year to year variances. It is the initial point for other reports that need the use of months. Answer option C is incorrect. Trust Center is where a user can find security and privacy settings for Microsoft Office 2013 programs.

Correct Answer: ABC

The various limitations of recording an Auto_Open macro are as follows:

1.

If the workbook where a user wants to save the Auto_Open macro already contains a VBA procedure in its Open event, then all actions in the Auto_Open macro are overridden by the VBA procedure used for the Open event.

2.

The Auto_Open macro will be ignored when a workbook is opened programmatically using the Open method.

3.

The Auto_Open macro runs before any other workbooks are opened. Therefore, if the user records actions he wants Excel to perform on the default workbook or a workbook loaded from the XLStart folder, the Auto_Open macro will fail when the user restarts Excel because it runs before the default and start-up workbooks are opened. Answer option D is incorrect. This is an invalid answer option.

Correct Answer: BD

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 C is incorrect. 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 A 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

The PivotChart report is used to provide a graphical representation of data in a PivotTable report in an interactive way. Whenever a user creates the PivotChart report, PivotChart report filters are displayed in the chart area. These are used for sorting and filtering the underlying data of the PivotChart report. Changes made to the layout and data in the associated PivotTable report are immediately reflected in the layout and data in the PivotChart report. The PivotChart report shows data series, categories, data markers, and axes in the same way as the standard charts do. It is possible to change the chart type and other options such as titles, legend placement, data labels, and chart location. Answer option A is incorrect. Stand-alone slicers are referenced from Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) Cube functions. These stand-alone slicers can be connected with any PivotTable in future. They can be added by using the slicer button on the Ribbon. They need to be manually linked into grids as required.

Answer option C is incorrect. A form control is an original control that is compatible with old versions of Excel, beginning with Excel version 5. 0. It is designed for use on XLM macro sheets. It can be used when a user wants to simply interact

with cell data without using VBA code and when he wants to add controls to chart sheets. By using form controls, the user can run macros. He can attach an existing macro to a control, or write or record a new macro. These controls cannot

be added to UserForms, used to control events, or modified to run Web scripts on Web pages.

Answer option B is incorrect. A PivotTable report is used to summarize large amounts of data, to analyze numerical data, and to answer unexpected questions about data.

Correct Answer: AB

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.

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.
