- Nonearrow_forwardSearching and Splitting Sometimes you need to search for the location of the first occurrence of a character or sub-string within a larger string. A common example is to find the location of the "@" symbol in an email address so you can isolate the username of the address. In cell D12, find the location of the "@" symbol in the email address in cell C12. Search for the location of the text string "@" within an email address: Finally, you can combine SEARCH and LEFT to isolate the username of the email address. SEARCH tells you where the "@" symbol is located and LEFT needs to know how many characters on the left you want to keep; which SEARCH can provide. Try combining SEARCH and LEFT in cell D13 to isolate the email username from cell C13. Note: there is one slight modification you will need to make to the SEARCH part of the formula to get just the username. See if you can figure it out. Split off username from email address. Hint: search for @ symbol:arrow_forwardCan you provide the accurate answer to this financial accounting question using correct methods?arrow_forward

However, your analysis calls for monthly and daily aggregation of the revenue data. In columns C and D of the data table, use the techniques you learned above to populate each row with the month and day of the week based on the date in column A. In column E of the data table, note the target dollar value in cell E16. In column E of the data table, create an IF formula that will display TARGET if the revenue in column B is greater than or equal to the target value in E16, or MISS otherwise. Revenue Pivot Table In cell A2 in Pivot worksheet, create a pivot table based on the data table, that aggregates revenue by placing month in the columns and weekdays in the rows.
