PivotTable analysis

Answer a manager’s question with a PivotTable, the way analysts really do it.

1. Download your workbook

Each download has its own data, so your answers are yours alone.

2. Do the work in Excel

  1. Build a PivotTable. Create a PivotTable from the Data sheet, on a new sheet, with Region as the rows and Sales as the values, summed.
  2. Answer the question. On the Answer sheet, type the name of the region with the highest total sales into B2.
  3. Show the number. In B3, type or link to that region’s total sales.

Save the file as an Excel Workbook (.xlsx) when you’re done.

3. Upload it for checking
