Question: Creating a pivot-table for the Excel Marketing Ethics Case: Open the Excel Data File, create the headings requested, compute & sort for information requested use

Creating a pivot-table for the Excel Marketing Ethics Case:

Open the Excel Data File, create the headings requested, compute & sort for information requested use Videos posted, then highlight the entire table:

Scenario: You are part of the top management team at a large car manufacturing company. The recent year has been good for your company as the profit has been improving greatly in the past few years and the team has decided to embark on a growth path. The team has decided on the following options:

Introduce the next generation model for one of the car models.

Increase marketing on low sales area.

To arrive at the best answer to this important decision, top management has asked the information resource department to collect aggregate sales from the past three years showing year, market, car type, unit sold in each, and average unit profit (use Winter 2023 Excel Assessment.xlsx for details of the data collected).

Now that you have the data, it is important for the top management team to determine the following:

1 - The Total Profit for each year. 2 - The Total Profit for each major market 3 - The Total Profit for each car type

However, Total Profit is not part of the data provided by your information resource department. Hence your team will have to compute this data.

Assignment:

Part 1: based on the excel data provided:

o Make Total Profits column and compute What formula did you use? _________

o "C" column combines geographic location and market, separate these by filtering this data:

H column label "Geographic";

I column label "Market"

Filter the information for these new created columns (note the formula used for this

step)

Part 2: with the new filtered information, make a Pivot table that will compute the following:

o The Total Profit for each year. o The Total Profit for each major market. o The Total Profit for each car type. o Once you make the Pivot Table
