Instructions
This assignment should be completed at the conclusion of the course, once all 12 units have
been completed. The submission date is approximately two weeks after the final session of
the course; please check the course details for the exact date. The goal of the assignment is
to demonstrate how you are thinking about applying course concepts to achieve the
following course learning outcomes:

1. Apply suitable data types for common scenarios.


2. Navigate, manipulate, and clean data from multiple sources.
3. Implement formulas to solve real-world problems.
4. Create interactive dashboards and meaningful data visualisations.
5. Leverage Artificial Intelligence capabilities in Excel.

Details

You are required to use Excel to solve a real-world business challenge. This should
encompass the various aspects you've learned throughout the course, including data entry
and manipulation, formulas, data visualisation etc. Your project can be in any domain, such
as Sales, Human Resources, Finance, Marketing, etc., and you are free to use whatever
data you wish.

The project should be submitted along with a written report. The report should be around
800-1,000 words, excluding references. It should clearly outline the challenge/problem you
are trying to solve, the steps you took to solve it, and the insights gained.

Your submission should therefore be two files:
