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

2. Do the work in Excel

  1. Total each region. On the Summary sheet, fill B2:B5 with formulas that total Sales for the region in column A.
  2. Add a grand total. In B6, add a formula that totals the regions.

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