    Hi John,

    Regardng the approach towards marking the exam I have a question. I took CBE it was my first time and I’m not sure how is the examiners going to approach the marking, in the old times when the was the written version I was doing my workings below the final result and linking them final results. However now that we hav the Excel file I was rather in the cells making the links like is done generally in excel or I but the calculations in the cell it self . Let’s say i there ws sales supposed to have inflation in the sale I was typing =(500k which where the sales * 1.05) and I didnt add any other additional however in the cell it ws just reflected the final result, you will need to go to the cell to see what is in the backgroundThen im wondering if I made a mistake in the kink of the formulas I will receive at least few marks? Thanks for the clarification

    That is no problem – the markers are able to see everything that you have typed in the spreadsheet 🙂 You will still get marks for each bit of your workings that is correct.
