HELLO, HOW TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS IN EXCEL?
1.Five girls are in bakery business, and they want to check how they have done sales in every month.
2.They have different products like Cake, Pies, Sandwich, Bread, Burger, and Donuts.
3.Please create pie chart to understand which product is sold high and low by all the ladies
4.If the sales of cakes are more than 100, that lady is announcing 10% discount for the next month
5.Ladies with only 5 letters in their name are allowed to use data validation for their cake products
Dear FODAY,
Thank you for your response. As per your query-
1. You can create a Pie Chart to visualize the sales from the “Insert” option.
Imagine a dataset with multiple Bakery Products and their Total Sales. Now we will create a pie chart using the information from the dataset.
First, select the products and total sales column and then press “Recommended Chart” from the “Insert” option.
Second, from the new dialog box choose “Pie Chart” and press OK to continue.
Finally, within a moment your final pie chart will be in your hands showing sales of multiple products.
2. As per your second query-
We will use the IF function to calculate the “10%” discount price if the sales of cake is more than 100.
To do that choose a cell (G5) and write the following formula down-
=IF(E5>100,(D5-(D5*0.1)),D5)Hence, hit Enter and the final output will be in your hands.
3. Now coming to the last query you wanted to use the data validation for ladies with only 5 letters in their name. Well, below I have shared the simplest solution.
Suppose we have a dataset with some Lady Names. Now we will use data validation for the name list.
First, selecting the names from the list click the “Data Validation” option from the “Data” feature.
Second, click “Settings” and choose criterias according to the screenshot and press OK to continue.
Finally, we have applied data validation over the name list. To check try editing any names not fulfilling the condition and you will get a notification about “This Value doesn’t match the data validation restrictions defined for this cell.”
