the table is arranged such that the highest profit is displayed first?

Answer: Find the Sort By option and make sure that Profit is selected

Question/Activity 69: We need another table that will allow us to see and compare the Profit generated
by each of the company’s Sales People per Month. How do we create this chart? Also rearrange Page 6
as seen in the expected outcome.

Question/Activity 83: What happens when you include all item groups in the coverage of the data?

Filter.
Question/Activity 93: Change the ranking so that the Bottom 5 Sales People according to Profit will be
shown. The result will be blank. Why is this?

Answer: Because there the Bottom 5 Sales People were excluded by our Profit Filter. This means that
none of those people had a profit greater than 2,000,00 Because conflicts in filter conditions result in
a blank visualization, it is best to keep filtering simple.

Question/Activity 94: How do we solve this so that the bottom 5 performers can be seen?

items from those groups.

both go down to the next level in the hierarchy, this one combines categories from the different levels,
resulting in more bars of data.
Question/Activity112: What happened to the data in the Pie Chart?

the browser. How do we change the display?
