INFORMATION
By utilizing business software tools such as Microsoft Excel and business skills
such as calculation and analysis. Information presented in the Excel spreadsheet
shows the weekly sales and number of units sold for AirCraft Components, Inc.
Given the price of each aircraft component, this spreadsheet shows how many
units of each component are purchased, then through Excel formula calculations,
the total sales are shown. Once summary is created, then data on that sheet is then
used for chart creation, as an visual aid to show the percentage of component
sales. Finally, data from summary sheet is then converted into a pivot table, where
data is then manipulated to show the best selling and worst selling components of
the aircraft. Analysis answers following:
- Total daily sales, total unit sales, total weekly sales, and total weekly units
- Pie chart for data analysis
- Which components are the best and worst selling products
