Step 2: Apply Formatting

 1. Apply bold headers and a background color of your choice.
2. Format Price, Total Sales, and Final Amount as Currency (₹).
3. Format Date of Sale as "DD-MMM-YYYY".
4. Apply Conditional Formatting:
o Highlight Quantity Sold > 8 in Light Green.
o Highlight Discount > 10% in Yellow.
o Apply a data bar for Final Amount to visually compare values.
o Use Icon Sets to indicate High, Medium, and Low Total Sales values.
5. Add Borders to the table for better visibility.
6. Make headers bold and align text to center for better readability.

Task 2: Perform Calculations Using References & Functions

1. Calculate Total Sales using absolute cell reference:
o =D2*$E$2 (Apply to all rows)
2. Calculate Final Amount after Discount:
o =F2 - (F2 * G2)
3. Use SUMIF to calculate total revenue of a specific category (Electronics):
o =SUMIF(C:C,"Electronics",F:F)
4. Find the highest-priced product in the dataset:
o =MAX(D:D)
5. Find the lowest quantity sold using full-column range referencing:
o =MIN(E:E)
6. Find the average quantity sold using range referencing:
o =AVERAGE(E2:E11)
7. Find the number of products in the "Gadgets" category using COUNTIF:
o =COUNTIF(C:C,"Gadgets")
8. Find the number of blank cells in the "Total Sales" column:
o =COUNTBLANK(F:F)
9. Calculate the sum of all discounts given:
o =SUM(G2:G11)
10. Calculate the total quantity of products sold:

 =SUM(E2:E11)

11. Find the product with the maximum quantity sold using INDEX & MATCH:

 =INDEX(B:B, MATCH(MAX(E:E), E:E, 0))

Task 3: Advanced Mathematical & Logical Functions

1. Find the absolute difference between the highest and lowest price:
o =ABS(MAX(D:D)-MIN(D:D))
 2. Find LCM of the lowest and highest quantity sold:
o =LCM(MIN(E:E),MAX(E:E))
3. Find power of price with quantity sold:
o =POWER(D2,E2)
4. Find remainder when the highest price is divided by 7500:
o =MOD(MAX(D:D),7500)
5. Generate a random discount between 5% and 20%:
o =RANDBETWEEN(5,20)/100
6. Find square root of the highest price:
o =SQRT(MAX(D:D))
7. Round final amounts to nearest 10:
o =ROUND(H2,-1)

Task 4: String Manipulation & Text Functions

1. Extract first two letters of Product ID:
o =LEFT(A2,2)
2. Extract last three letters of Seller Name:
o =RIGHT(J2,3)
3. Find length of Product Name:
o =LEN(B2)
4. Convert Seller Name to different cases:
o =UPPER(J2)
o =LOWER(J2)
o =PROPER(J2)
5. Remove spaces from Product Name:
o =TRIM(B2)
6. Replace "Electronics" with "Tech Gadgets" in Category:
o =SUBSTITUTE(C2,"Electronics","Tech Gadgets")
7. Repeat "★" based on Discount % (max 5 stars):
o =REPT("★",G2*10/2)
8. Concatenate Product Name and Seller Name:
o =CONCATENATE(B2, " - ", J2)
9. Find the position of "a" in Seller Name:
o =FIND("a",J2)

Task 5: Data Validation & Consolidation

1. Set Data Validation for Discount:
o Allowed range: 5% - 20%
o Input Message: "Enter a discount between 5% - 20%."
o Error Alert: "Invalid Discount!"
2. Use Data Consolidation to combine sales data from multiple worksheets.
Task 6: Charts & Data Analysis
1. Create a Column Chart comparing Quantity Sold by Product.
2. Create a Pie Chart for Total Sales by Category.
3. Sort the data by Final Amount in Descending order.
4. Apply Filter to show only products with sales above ₹3,00,000.
5. Create a Pivot Table summarizing:
o Total Sales by Category
o Average Discount by Category
6. Create a Histogram for Price Range of Products.
