Pivot Table Problem
Below is the December 2009 sales data bysales representative for Papier Nouveau, a distributor of commercial printing supplies. As the Director of HR for Papier Nouveau, you are responsible for calculating monthly incentives. In previous months, bonuses were based on sales volume, however this month you are considering basing them on profit margin. Create pivot tables to help you answer the following questions in analyzing the December sales:
a) What is the highest volume of our highest margin product sold in December?
b) What is the average total profit generated for the month?
c) What is the total number of commercial copiers sold during December?
