apstone – Level 2 Working With Sales
ata
These instructions are compatible with both Microsoft Windows and Mac operating systems.
In this project, you will work with sales data from Top’t Corn, a popcorn company with an online store, multiple food trucks, and two retail stores. You will insert a new worksheet and enter sales data for the four food truck locations, formatting the data, and calculating totals. You will create a pie chart to represent the total units sold by location and a column chart to represent sales by popcorn type. You will format the charts, and then set up the worksheet for printing. Next, you will help Top’t Corn decide whether or not a new truck loan is a good idea. Working with the daily sales data for one of the brick-and-mortar stores, you will calculate the sales for each date, and the average, minimum, and maximum sales. Finally, you will work with the online sales data to format it as an Excel table and apply sorting and filtering.

Excel 365/2021 Capstone Level 2 Working With Sales
Data
These instructions are compatible with both Microsoft Windows and Mac
operating systems.
In this project, you will work with sales data from Top’t Corn, a popcorn company with an online
store, multiple food trucks, and two retail stores. You will insert a new worksheet and enter sales
data for the four food truck locations, formatting the data, and calculating totals. You will create
a pie chart to represent the total units sold by location and a column chart to represent sales by
popcorn type. You will format the charts, and then set up the worksheet for printing. Next, you
will help Top’t Corn decide whether or not a new truck loan is a good idea. Working with the
daily sales data for one of the brick-and-mortar stores, you will calculate the sales for each date,
and the average, minimum, and maximum sales. Finally, you will work with the online sales data
to format it as an Excel table and apply sorting and filtering.
