Description of Development.
I started off with a black spreadsheet form Microsoft Excel. I changed the background colour of the whole sheet. I added a selection of command buttons to the form to navigate through the system; I also added a title to the page. I then renamed the sheet to “Welcome Page” I than added some more sheets as I thought I would need them as I progressed through the application.
I then moved onto the second sheet, which I called “Cost” On this form I used the “VlookUp function to link the shoe type with price, this will make sure tat the quality, shoe and price are all correct. I also used some validation on this form, in the type of list validation, this allows the user to select data from this list box only. I added a Command button to this page to navigate back to the welcome screen.
I then created a total sheet, all this sheet does is hold the total amount of shoes sold.
I then created the sheet called “Shoes” This shoes hold the prices per pair of shoes and the increment for the quality sole.
The next sheet I made was the Orders Sheet, this sheet holds all the details of orders placed. It also has a graph which I have made to display the amount of orders placed.
The final sheet is called customer Details, I have set this sheet up to store the details of all customers that place orders through super sports.
Throughout this project I have used the following advanced features:
I used the date function on all my sheets to display the date
I used the VlookUp function on my costs sheet to look up the costs shoes & sole increment
I used the % Calculation to calculate the cost of the shoes with the quality sole
I used a chart on my Order sheet to display the total number of orders.
I failed to use the pivot tables.

Appraisal
I think that my model will work fine and meet the majority of the requirements. I think that if I could re do my work I would spend more time using formulas and I would tidy up the interface as the one I have created is not very appealing. I didn’t plan my assignment as well as I would have liked to do, for this reason I think I would next time use a gantt chart to set myself deadlines and to get the topic done a bit more effectively.
