Excel Assignment: Analyzing Car Sales
Data Using Excel Functions
Objective:
To understand and apply conditional and statistical Excel functions such as COUNTA,
COUNTBLANK, COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, SUMIF, SUMIFS, AVERAGEIF, and AVERAGEIFS to
analyze car sales data effectively.
Dataset Setup:
Create an Excel sheet named “CarSalesData” with the following columns:
Car ID | Brand | Region | Salesperson | Units Sold | Price per Unit | Total Sale | Sale Month.
The car brands are Maruti, Hyundai, Honda and Toyota.
The regions are East, West, North & South.
The months are January, February & March.
- Enter at least 15 sample records.
- Compute Total Sale = Units Sold × Price per Unit.
Section A: Counting Data
1. Use COUNTA to count:
• - The number of non-empty entries in the Brand column.
• - The number of sales records available (use any consistent column).
2. Use COUNTBLANK to:
• - Count how many entries are missing in the Salesperson column.
3. Use COUNTIF to:
• - Count how many cars were sold in the "North" region.
• - Count how many sales had Units Sold > 5.
4. Use COUNTIFS to:
• - Count how many Toyota cars were sold in the South region.
• - Count how many cars were sold by a specific Salesperson with Units Sold > 3.
Section B: Summing Data
1. Use SUMIF to:
• - Calculate total Units Sold for Brand = “Hyundai”.
• - Calculate total Total Sale in the "East" region.
2. Use SUMIFS to:
• - Calculate total Total Sale for "Honda" cars in the "West" region.
• - Calculate total Total Sale for a specific Salesperson during "January".
Section C: Averaging Data
1. Use AVERAGEIF to:
• - Find the average Price per Unit for "Maruti" cars.
• - Find average Units Sold in the "North" region.
2. Use AVERAGEIFS to:
• - Find the average Total Sale for cars sold in the "South" region with Units Sold > 3.
• - Find average Units Sold for a specific Brand in a specific Month.
Deliverables:
- Submit an Excel file with:
- The dataset fully filled and formulas correctly applied.
- Functions used in a separate section below or beside the dataset for clarity.
- Highlight or color the results of each function.
- Include a brief conclusion (2-3 lines) in a cell on what insights were gained using these
functions.
