Task 1(a):

In business excel sheets, the LEFT () function is very useful. For example, there may be someone
trying to organize a vast amount of parts for a car part company. These parts may each have their
own 9-character code consisting of letters and numbers. The first 3 letters, may represent which
warehouse the part is located in, so this person can use the LEFT () function to organize the parts by
their warehouse location.

Task 1(b):

Using the same example above, say you wanted to now sort the parts by aisle number. If the part
number has the 3-digit aisle number in the middle of the 9-digit code, you can use the MID ()
function. This function is different than the LEFT () function because it takes numbers from middle of
the selected cell, rather than the beginning. Also a big difference is that you must provide the start
number.

Task 3(a):

Data validation is very important when it comes to choosing what you want people to see. In Task 2,
we were given several sheets in excel to organize. It was confusing, but once I entered the Pivot Table
and Slicer, I narrowed down the data. Instead of going through all the lists of data trying to add up
the number of transactions in my 5 states, I could just select the states in my slicer.
