FormuladrillSales by region with messy labels
An Excel formula exercise from Formuladrill. Solve it with a formula bar on a live sheet in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
From Leo in Sales Ops: "Regions were typed by hand, so North shows up as ' North', north and NORTH. Clean each label in C2:C8, then total the sales per region in F2:F4, using the clean labels."
What this exercise teaches
A helper column of cleaned labels is the simplest fix for messy categories. Lock the ranges with $ so the same SUMIF works on every row.
A hint if you get stuck
Clean first: C2 is =PROPER(TRIM(A2)), and the same down the column. Then add up over the clean column: =SUMIF($C$2:$C$8,E2,$B$2:$B$8).
