Project Description:

As the Human Resources Manager, you maintain employee salary data. You exported data from the corporate database into an Excel workbook. You want to display subtotals for salary by city. For further analysis, you want to create a PivotTable to determine what the total salaries would be if employees who earn an Excellent rating get a 5% increase in salary. Finally, you want to create a PivotChart that depicts what percentage of employees earn each performance rating.
