Open and examine the files wreck.csv and diveplanner.csv in a spreadsheet package.
Save the dive planner file as a spreadsheet with the file name planner_ followed by your centre number and candidate number, for example, planner_ZZ999_9999
Insert a new row between the rows containing Planned dive time and Safe?
Format the top of the spreadsheet to look like this:
A B C
1 Just-Dive-4-Rust
3 Dive planner
5 Dive 1 Dive 2
6 Wreck code
7 Wreck code
Format the merged cell A1 to have white text on a dark blue background.
Format the merged cell B3 to have black text on a pale blue background.
Save the spreadsheet.
[11]
Place your name, centre number and candidate number, left aligned in the header.
Place the text Last edited on followed by an automated date, centre aligned in the footer.

In cell B7 use a function to look up the wreck name. Use the Wreck code cell for this dive for the lookup value and the file wreck.csv for the array. [8]
In cell B8 use a function to look up the depth of the dive. Use the Wreck code cell for this dive for the lookup value and the file wreck.csv for the array. [4]
Replicate the functions used in steps 3 to 4 for both dives. [1]
It is safer to do the deepest dive first. Just-Dive-4-Rust want an error message displayed if the second dive is deeper than the first.
Merge cells B11 and C11. In this merged cell use a formula to display the text Unsafe, second dive is deeper if the second planned dive will be deeper than the first, or to display Yes if this is not the case.
Format this merged cell to have a red background with white text only if the message Unsafe, second dive is deeper is displayed in it.

Task 3 – Web Page
You are going to create a web page and edit a stylesheet for Just-Dive-4-Rust. The web page and stylesheet must work in any browser. All colour codes, except those provided in the source files, must be in hexadecimal. Make sure that your stylesheet contains no HTML.
Create a new folder called jd4r
Locate the following files and store them in your jd4r folder.
aircraft.png jd4r.css jd4rlogo.png ship.jpg wreck1.mp4
Display the contents of your jd4r folder showing the folder name, all file names, extensions, image dimensions and file sizes.

EVIDENCE 2
Take a screenshot of your jd4r folder and place this in your Evidence Document. Make sure that the folder name, all file names, extensions, image dimensions and file sizes are clearly visible.
Create a web page called jd4r.htm
This web page must work in all browsers and will have a table structure as shown below:
A
1000 × 200
B C
360 × 270
640 × 390
D
360 × 120
E F
360 × 270 640 × 270
Each table cell is identified with a letter and all dimensions are in pixels. The letters and dimensions shown in the table must not appear on your final web page.
Table borders must appear on the final web page.
[10]
Place in cell:
• B the image to be used to select diving ship wrecks
• C a placeholder 640 pixels wide and 354 pixels high containing the video clip wreck1.mp4 Display an automated text-based error message if the browser does not support this video type
• E the image to be used to select diving aircraft wrecks.
[10]
Enter in cell F the text:
We offer some of the best wreck diving in the world.
On a new line below this enter the text:
