    hello everybody,
    I am doing research on Topic 17 (corporate governance issues), it is mostly complete but now my mentors says I should include a spreadsheet as OBU fails reports which do not include spreadsheets but my problem is my topic does not use any numbers or anything that uses spreadsheet. what should I do? are they really necessary for topic 17? If they are how can I use them when my whole research is not based around numbers?

    any help is greatly appreciated.

    There is almost certainly scope to use a spreadsheet for all topics and yes unless you show at least 3 different formulae you will be failed.. As I have just commented to another student – download share price over a period and insert functions relating to that. (See recent reply on Topic 20)

    Another one may be calculating percentage increase in executive pay or percentage increase/ decrease in dividends paid
