A small company that manufactures makeup.

Its managers track each sales transaction in a


Microsoft Excel 2013 worksheet. Sometimes they want to extract, or filter out, a subset of their
sales data. For example, they might want to identify sales transactions that answer the following
questions:
1. How can I identify all transactions in which Jen sold lipstick in the East region?
2. How can I identify all transactions in which Cici or Colleen sold lipstick or mascara in the
East or South region?
3. How can I copy all transactions in which Cici or Colleen sold lipstick or mascara in the East
or South region to a different worksheet?
4. How can I clear filters from a column or database?
5. How can I identify all transactions that involved sales greater than $280 and greater than 90
units?
6. How can I identify all sales occurring in 2005 or 2006?
7. How can I identify all transactions in the last three months of 2005 or the first three months of
2006?
8. How can I identify all transactions for which the salesperson’s first name starts with C?
9. How can I identify all transactions for which the cell containing the product name is colored
in red?
10. How can I identify all transactions in the top 30 revenue values in which Hallagan or Jen was
the salesperson?
11. How can I easily obtain a complete list of salespeople?
12. How can I view every combination of salesperson, product, and location that occurs in the
database?
13. If my data changes, how can I reapply the same filter?
14. How can I extract all foundation transactions in the first six months of 2005 for which Emilee
or Jen was the salesperson and the average per-unit price was more than $3.20?
