Module 2 Assessment Based on the pivot table and pivot chart obtained from the previous activity, please compile the answers to the following questions (please copy and paste the supporting evidence the results) in a word file and submit it as an attachment through this assignment link on Blackboard. (You can use the pivot table for questions 1-3, pivot chart for question 4, and both pivot table and pivot chart for question 5) 1. Among all the product types sold (all dates and all channels), which one has the highest total? _Wolf Pack _ What is the total? _171 _ 2. What is the name of the online salesperson that has the highest total on 1/9/2009? _Eddie _ What is the total? _613 _ 3. On 1/10/2009, what is the total for the salesperson Paulette? _323 _ Which product type did she sell the least? _Mythic World _ Who was the star of this product type (i.e. the one that
achieved the highest total) on that date? _Orin _ 4. Among the three store types, which one has the highest total for each product type? _Warriors of Yore have the highest Online (18517.73) and Wholesale (60255.58) labels. Mythic World has the highest Retail (3627.47) label. 5. Use both the pivot table and pivot chart to identify what comprised the low sales of Guiding Lights on 1/9/2009. _The low sales of "Guiding Lights" are primarily attributed to the relatively low unit sales contributed by specific individuals, with some having no recorded sales for this category. The corresponding store sales from different channels, while not extremely low, reflect the impact of the lower unit sales compared to other categories. Overall, the combination of low unit sales and corresponding store sales contributes to the lower performance of "Guiding Lights" in terms of revenue.
6. Develop a question of your own and answer it with the information extracted with a new pivot table/chart. Question: _How can the organization leverage the data from both unit sales and store sales across different channels to optimize inventory management and distribution strategies for each product category? Answer: _The organization can enhance inventory management and distribution strategies by identifying top-performing categories such as "Warriors of Yore" and "Mythic World," where both unit sales and store sales are high across various channels. This suggests allocating more resources and inventory to these successful categories. Additionally, for underperforming categories like "Guiding Lights," efforts can be focused on improving individual contributions and exploring marketing strategies to boost both unit and store sales. This will include the following:
