Analysis and Conclusion :

Information helps reduce uncertainty about the outcome of a decision. To make tactical and
strategical decisions that involve implementing policies and goals of the organization, a
manager needs more summarized and analysed information from both inside and outside the
organization.
In the mentioned case, some processed information about total sales, total revenue, grading of
sales amount, sales overview of Branch B etc. were required by the manager for taking decision
for the upcoming year. We’ve calculated the given data of Year 2021 by using Microsoft Excel.
We’ve applied some formulas of Excel such as SUM, SUMIF, COUNTIF, Average, NESTED IF etc.
for the calculations.
From the calculation, it is seen that the sales amount of Branch B was less than 5,000 for six
times in 12 months. From the case we found that the store made 10,000 shoes available for
sale at the beginning of each month. So, in proportion to 10,000 stock of shoes, sales of <5,000
for six times is not satisfactory.
From the grading, we can see that the total sales of Branch A was “Best”; Branch B- “Better”;
Branch C- “Good”; Branch D- “Good”. So, Branch A is in the right track. Branch B’s performance
is comparatively better but some steps should be taken to improve the total sales. But Branch C
and D are not in satisfying situation. The managers of Branch C and D must adopt some new
strategies to improve the sales. More promotional activities and customer oriented programs
can be adopted.
The total sales amount of the company including all branches was 11064400. From a overall
view, it is good enough.
From the pivot chart of Branch A, it’s found that the amounts of sales value, sales unit and
revenue are fluctuating. The management may take steps to make the amounts more steady
because too much fluctuation is risky for the firm.
The sales value of Branch B for the first month ‘January’ was fairly good in comparison with
other branches.
The pivot table for Branch A provides analysed numerical data in detail and answer
unanticipated questions about the data. The manager can have a clear idea about Branch A’s
performance from the pivot table.

The biggest feature of Excel is its flexibility. That moderately complicated spreadsheet can and
does change all the time, to accommodate new requirements and optimize workflow. By doing
calculations using excel, the Ren shoe store can ensure the flexibility of their analysis. The use
of Excel is convenient as well. Calculation of large amounts of data is possible within seconds
by using excel. Based on the analysed information, the manager of “Ren shoe store” will be able
to take decisions easily which will save time. So, it can be undoubtedly said that the use of Excel
will increase the efficiency and productivity of the “Ren Shoe Store”.
