[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Dunder Company sells five types of lumber (Maple, Oak, Walnut, Pine, and Cedar) within 10 states located in the southeastern quadrant of the United States. Its 27 sales representatives completed 1,000 sales transactions during the most recent 12-month period.

Download the Excel file, which you will use to create the Tableau visualizations requested by the CFO. Upload the Excel file into Tableau by doing the following: 1.
