1. A retail company is

analysing its sales data using Excel. A sample of the sales data is shown in

the screenshot below. The sales manager wants to automatically calculate the

discount

percentage

for each transaction based on the quantity of items sold

.

The discount rules are stored in a lookup table (columns H and I), where

different quantity ranges correspond to different discount percentages. To

achieve this, the manager enters a formula in

cell D2

that looks up the

quantity sold in column B against the discount table in columns H and I, and

then auto-fills the formula down to D8.

The retail company also

tracks

delivery costs

for each sales area. A reference table (rows 11

and 12) lists the

areas and their corresponding delivery costs

.

To automate the calculation, the sales manager wants Excel to fetch the correct

delivery cost for each transaction based on the

area in column A

. To

achieve this, the manager enters a formula in

cell E2

and then

auto-fills it down to

cell E8.
