Troubleshooting
• Begin with the Excel template or supporting materials provided, unless the assignment instructs you to create a blank workbook.
• Use the Desktop app for Excel for Microsoft 365 on a Mac or Windows computer. This assignment cannot be completed on a Chromebook.
• Do not use Excel for the Web in your web browser; use Excel for Desktop. A free Microsoft 365 license is provided as part of your university enrollment.
• Save the initial template as an Excel Workbook (.XLSX file). You cannot submit the Excel Template (.XLTX file) that you initially download.
• Close Microsoft Excel before submitting your work to ensure a clean upload. Leaving the workbook open in Excel while uploading may result in a corrupted upload that cannot be graded.
