Scenario Overview:

You are provided with a company sales data set containing 250 rows of transactions. Each row
records a sales transaction including information such as the date, salesperson, region, product
code, units sold, sales amount, and customer type. In addition, a separate lookup table maps each
product code to its product name, unit price, and category.

Questions (Connect both Tables using Lookup Functions first):


1. What is the total SalesAmount for all transactions in the North region?
2. What is the average SalesAmount for transactions where the SalesAmount exceeds $500?
3. What is the total SalesAmount for transactions with CustomerType "New"?
4. What is the average UnitsSold for transactions conducted by John?
5. How many transactions in the South region involve product code P005?
6. What is the total SalesAmount for transactions in the West region with a SalesAmount of
less than $1000?
7. How many transactions involve products in the Electronics category (using a lookup from
the Products table)?
8. What is the average SalesAmount for transactions in which UnitsSold is greater than 10?
9. Can you retrieve the Unit Price from the Products table, calculate the “Calculated Sales”
(UnitsSold × Unit Price), and indicate any discrepancies compared to the provided
SalesAmount?
10. Can you create a new column “Value Flag” that marks transactions with a SalesAmount
greater than $1000 as “High Value” and remainder as ‘-‘?
11. Can you build a summarizing total SalesAmount by Region and Salesperson?
12. Can you construct a summary table that calculates the monthly total SalesAmount?
13. Can you create a dynamic drop-down list for regions using Data Validation?
14. Can you count the number of transactions per Product Category?
15. Can you build a formula that returns the total SalesAmount for a region based on cell input,
while incorporating error handling for invalid inputs?

This comprehensive Assignment encourages students to explore a wide variety of Excel functions,
from simple text manipulation to complex nested logic. Happy analyzing!
