Problem
Management would like to decide whether they should discontinue any products. Any product with 50% fewer sales over the previous year should be discontinued. Are there any products that they should discontinue? List the product(s) and your recommendation in the worksheet. Which 3 products had the highest increase in sales?
1) Change the tab called 2017 vs. 2018 to Q2 - 2017 vs. 2018 and move the tab to the second position.
2) Add a new column to calculate the percentage change from 2017 to 2018. Percentage change is computed using the following formula: (current year sales-last year sales) / (last year sales). Represent the numbers as percentages.
3) Calculate the total and average for each year.
4) Format the title at the top, so it stands out. Add distinct formatting to the column and row headings. Format the data in the cells to show currency.
5) Use conditional formatting to highlight the Percent Change cells with a negative percent change in red.
6) Use conditional formatting to highlight the top 3 cells with the highest green increase.
7) make a pie chart showing the contribution of each product to 2018 total sales. Ensure the percentages are displayed on the chart and the product names are displayed in the legend. Add a title to the chart.
8) Which product was the highest contributor in 2018?
