Salesperson and Region.
2. Instructions:
o Insert a Pivot Table based on the dataset.
o Set up the Rows to display Salespersons and the Columns to
display Regions.
o Add Sales Amount to the Values area to show total sales.
What insights can you derive from the resulting Pivot Table regarding
salesperson performance across different regions?

Question: 2
Create a pivot chart using a dataset of your choice (e.g., sales data, employee
performance, or product inventory). Show how the pivot chart helps in
visualizing key metrics such as totals, averages, or trends over time. Include
steps for creating the pivot chart and explain the insights drawn from it."

Product Name, and Price. The data is structured as follows:
Product ID Product Name Price

P002 Widget B 20.00
P003 Widget C 25.00
1. Task: Using the LOOKUP function, find the price of a product based on
its Product ID. For instance, if you enter "P002", the function should
return the price of Widget B.
2. Instructions:
o Set up a cell where you can input the Product ID.
o Write a LOOKUP function to retrieve the corresponding price from
the dataset.
What will the LOOKUP function look like in this case?
