2. Format Qty with regular numbers with no decimal points.

3. Centralize all the Titles

4. Divide the Costs by the Qty to develop a column of Cost per Unit, Use $ and two decimal points.

5. Develop a fifth column for "Profit" by subtracting sales minus costs. Use $ and two decimal points.

13. Divide the STDEV by the Average to determine with of the columns of has the best control. (Use an Statistical Book and look for Variation Coefficient)
