Based on the Excel Table called "TableSales" which is in the SUMIFS tab, we need to do the following analysis:
1 Create a report that shows the average revenue per App sorted alphabetically in ascending order
2 If the average revenue is greater than the threshold in C9, a 10% bonus will be given for the app
- if revenue is 0, then 0% otherwise the bonus will be 2%.
3 We receive a list of 6 sales agents from our HR department (scroll down). We need to find out the bonus
percentage each sales agent can receive (based on our first table) - Test by adding a new app as specified in t
