Spreadsheet lessons in Kenya

Teach spreadsheet skills by building a small, transparent workbook from fictional records.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional XLS-129 teaches a four-row sales sheet: quantities 2,3,1,4 and unit prices 50,20,80,25. Columns A item, B quantity, C price, D line total; D2=B2*C2 copied through D5. Expected totals 100,60,80,100 and SUM(D2:D5)=340. This is a practice workbook, not accounting advice.

Who is the first customer?

Shop owners, administrators and learners who need everyday spreadsheet confidence.
