ACTIVITY 2 – suggested time 8 hours The dashboard
You have been given a data file gardening2023 with information on clients, different types of services including the treatments available, costs, payment methods and client review rating.
Import the data into a spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet should be easy to navigate and have a worksheet for a main menu with links to: 1) the data, 2) the analysis, and 3) the dashboard.
Imported data worksheet
• Format the worksheet to merge and centre Row 1 from A to J.
• Sort the data into alphabetical order of Client ID and ensure all data is visible.
• In the Cost of treatment column use conditional formatting to identify costs between
£13.50 and £25.00
• In the 2024 Discount column use a FUNCTION to display the amount of discount for
each client. Use the data from the ‘Discount table’. The cells with the 15% discount will
need to stand out.
Analysis worksheet

• the total income from all clients
• the total income from all Spring treatments
• the number of each Package type
• the highest and lowest cost of each package
• the average review rating given
• the percentage of clients that requested advice
• any other information you feel may be useful.
Dashboard worksheet
Create the dashboard from the analysed data in the worksheet to display a summary of the data.
