Unit 1 [GB513: Business Analytics] Assignment This Assignment requires you to use Excel to answer the questions and create the charts as specified in the file below. However, when presenting reports in business, you will find that most managers will prefer to read Word documents or PowerPoint slides rather than go through Excel sheets. Being able to move your work from Excel to Word is a valuable skill. For this Assignment, prepare a report by copying all your charts and comments to a Word document and submit that Word file as your Assignment. Clearly label all questions and charts as well as your answers. This is part of your grading rubric. Submit your Assignment to the Unit 1 Dropbox.
