Project: sales dashboard

Clean up and analyse a real order list: make the statuses consistent with a drop-down, flag rows with conditional formatting, summarise sales with PivotTables and read a share from one.

Exercise 1 of 7

Add a Status drop-down

The Status column was typed by hand, and the new orders in rows 12 and 13 have none yet. Select E2:E13, open Data Validation, choose List and use the statuses in G2:G4 as the Source, locked with $.
