Design Specification

The system is required to calculate the weekly income including bonuses and tips for each driver, and also the weekly Income for the Boss.  The system should be able to tell automatically which drivers are to be taxed and which ones shouldn’t.  It should be able to compare which drivers earned well and which drivers didn’t earn so well.

Printouts of work and income details of each driver should be available from the simple click of a button.  Navigating around the necessary spreadsheets in the workbook should be made simple with the use of fully working buttons that run macros that replace tab clicking.

Hardware Required

Minimum Specification for PC:

Pentium 200 Mhz    

64 MB Memory

SVGA Monitor

Software Required

Opening and configuring spreadsheet

To open the spreadsheet, open the file harveys.xls

To configure the lay out of the spreadsheet, click on the ON or OFF buttons on the Calculations worksheet.

OFF Button runs GridOff macro

The OFF button switches off the Standard and Formatting Toolbars, sheet tabs, column and row headings.  The Off button also changes the font colour of the hidden cells (i.e. cell link values) white, on the Calculations worksheet

ON Button runs GridOn macro

The ON button switches on the Standard and Formatting Toolbars, sheet tabs, column and row headings.

The ON button also changes the font of the hidden cells to black, on the Calculations worksheet.

It is recommended that the ON button is pressed first, or all the tool bars and column row headings etc are switched on or visible, when configuring the spreadsheet
