Applied Conditional formatting techniques in Excel to make data exploration visual. Formatted data by using colors, fonts, and highlighting methods to make decision-making

Task 3: Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Macros

Familiarized with VBA, Excel’s built-in programming language. Created the following two macros using the data modified with conditional formatting

  1. A macro to sort the entire spreadsheet by 5 YR CAGR in descending order to see which accounts have the highest overall 5-year sales growth
  2. A macro to sort the entire spreadsheet by 2021 unit sales in descending order to see which accounts have the highest overall unit sales in 2021

Communicated key points and ideas about your account sales analysis, including sales performance (or lack thereof), opportunities for improvement, or operational focus.
