Before You Begin
This
discussion begins by creating a sample spreadsheet that
analyzes 9 months of data-technically the first 3 quarters of sales.
1. Try This: Open a Sample Spreadsheet
Open a sample spreadsheet: Sales 2013.xlsx
Go to the Sales Subtotal by Month sheet.
What Do You See? This sheet shows the product sales for
Charlotte's Website. There are two Columns showing: Month and Amount
(the other Columns are hidden.) There is an Outline on the left side
next to the Row numbers.
Keep
going...
Memo to Self: You do not have to MATCH the numbers shown on
these pages. It is more important that you begin with some data and
understand the options.
Another Memo: We will learn
how to summarize data with Subtotals and PivotTable reports in the
Advanced Guide to Excel 2013.
