For Precint# : If gender is Male or M, the precint # is 208-C, for Female or F, the precint# is 102-A

For UserCode: if the length of the voter’s name is 15 and above, output STRONG CODE
if not output WEAK CODE
For Value : output the surname in small letter, together with the gender and age, use the
formula based on the voter’s name ( a dash will separate value from the other)
For Validation, output voters id where in all zero digit will become * and the first 3 letter of
the name of the voter’s name. ( a dash will separate value from the other)
For Priority, if the age is 60 and above, output PRIORITY if not there will be no output

CREATE A FORMULA FOR SUMMARY-SECTION D

STUDENT REPORTS: Create a string formula that will use join(), lower() together with
left(),right() or mid() based on the sample output. (see sample output)
N-NAME: Output the student nickname by using left(), right() or mid(). See sample
RETAKE: use if condition for remarks where in if passed ok is the output, else RETAKE
ADVANCED: Concatenate the age, then convert the join() for N-NAME in capital letter,
but if the age is still a minor just compare the value that will output for FALSSE.
