Capstone: Build a Complete Departmental Budget Report

Combine four skills from four different tiers into one deliverable: a summary formula, a styled report header, a uniqueness-restricted column, and a protected final sheet.

What you will learn

• Summarise expenses by department with a formula that updates itself
• Style a report header so it reads as a finished document, not a draft
• Restrict a data-entry column with a custom validation rule
• Protect the finished summary sheet before it is considered done
• Combine several independent Excel skills into one coherent piece of work, the way a real deliverable requires

The task

This is the capstone: one deliverable that pulls together four separate skills, the way a real report actually does. The Expenses sheet lists every transaction; the Summary sheet needs to become a finished report from it.

You work in a real spreadsheet in your browser, and your answer is checked against hidden traps the moment you submit.
