Formatting and Printing – Setting
Up the Menu and Price List
Day one, and Matt needs to list everything that’s on sale at Koffee Island along with their prices. He’s going to list the items in Excel and organise them into drink types. The list needs to be accurate and clear as well as appealing to customers.
Start Excel 2016
You’ll see this book is about Excel 2016, and Matt’s using Windows 10. You may be using a different version of Windows or Excel, but don’t panic. Most of what you will learn is the same for all versions.
Click or tap the Excel icon on the Start menu (1), or the shortcut on the desktop (2), or the shortcut on the task bar (3), and Excel will open.

To zoom in, click on the percentage – where it says 100% – and you will be offered a dialogue box with some pre-set percentages or the option to type in your own.
An easier option is to drag the slider or press the + or – signs. This is known as the Zoom Slider because that’s what it does!
Start Adding Text and Numbers
Now that Matt’s starting to find his way around and is comfortable with how the grid references work, he can start building his all-important menu and price list.
Add Text
All Matt needs to do is start typing where he wants the text to appear. Cell A1 is a good place to begin. Here he will have the name of the coffee shop, and underneath he will start to fill in the items on sale along with their individual prices.
Items for sale are in column A as you can see in Figure 6.

However, Matt’s concerned it’s not looking right. The items look as if they’re spilling over to the second column, which is where he wants to put the prices. It’s essential the whole thing is presented as professionally as possible. Matt wants to:
  • Centre the heading across the data
  • Resize the first column so the text fits exactly
  • Make the drink groups bold and coloured
  • Sort the items...
