You can add worksheets, insert columns or rows into the data as you see necessary. You can also use any Excel tools/formulas/tricks to complete the assessment. Please save all of your work and be prepared to discuss the reasoning behind your work. As you only have 30 minutes, please work to find the answers to all questions first. If you have remaining time, you can adjust formatting and present the data in a more executive friendly format.
When complete, do a "save as" with the following naming convention: "FirstName_LastName_Assessment.xls" on the desktop.
