Fact Pattern: Question 1:
You currently work for an automotive parts supply store. Your company is growing, and is considering
expansion. The company currently has three locations (North, South, and Central) in one state, and wants
to consider expanding within the same state. You have been presented with the sales figures for the last
three years for each of your locations. Based on this information, you’re tasked with analyzing current
sales.
You have decided to compare the performance of the three stores to get a better idea of where expansion
might be most beneficial. Respond fully to the following questions regarding this task.
A -
(TCO 9) The data has been provided to you in one .csv file showing weekly sales for all three stores for
the last three years. Explain the tasks you must complete in preparing the data for your analysis.
B -
(TCO 2) Explain, based on material covered in this class, your approach to setting up your worksheet
and organizing the data. Remember that you have only weekly sales totals for each store in the data.
C -
(TCO 3) Explain how you will visually represent the comparison of the total annual sales at the
individual stores for each of the three years. Describe methods to make your strongest performer (the
North store) stand out.
D -
(TCO 7) Once you have finished the above tasks, your Excel workbook will be placed on your company
server so that all of the managers can view it. You know that they may have questions regarding your
work, and want them to know that you created the workbook so that they can contact you. Describe how
you will convey the information regarding worksheet creation.

Fact Pattern: Question 2:
You own your own small party supply and rental business. You maintain an Excel list of potential
customers and clients who have rented or purchased from you in the past two years. The list includes both
physical mailing addresses and e-mail addresses for each person listed. You have a “category“ code to
show whether the contact is a client. If they have done business with you, they show a code of “CUST” for
customer. If they are potential customers who have not yet purchased or rented from you, they are coded
as “PROS” for prospect.
