Excel Project: Data Pivoting You are a data analyst for the city of Burlington, Vermont. Download the data file “P6-

2BurlingtonVermontData.xlsx” from the student download page at http://www.pearsonhighered.com/romney, which contains the annual account balance information for city departments for six fiscal years. For this problem, use the sheet titled “Annual Data”, which contains data aggregated to the annual level for the different city departments.

REQUIRED Using this data, prepare a different sheet that has a PivotTable that answers each of the following questions:

a) How have total department budgets changed each year? To answer the question, create a PivotTable that shows the budgeted amount of expenditures for each fiscal year. Do not include grand totals. Add conditional formatting data bars to show which amounts are the greatest.

b) Which funds have the largest expense budgets for fiscal year 6? Create a PivotTable that shows fund names and budgeted amounts for fiscal year 6. Sort the data so the greatest budgets amounts are listed at the top.

c) Regardless of department, organization, or fund, what type of activities were most costly during the entire time period (hint: use the “Detail_Description” field for this question)? How much did they pay for this activity?
