[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. The companys CFO would like your assistance in creating some Tableau visualizations that enable her to better understand the sales representatives performance. 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:

Open the Tableau Desktop application.

On the left-hand side, under the Connect header and the To a file sub-header, click on Microsoft Excel.

Choose the Excel file and click Open.

On the left-hand side under Sheets, double click on Dunder_Company.

Create a bar chart that summarizes each Salespersons average revenue per sales order during the 12-month period. Click on the New Worksheet button at the bottom of your Workbook.

Double-click on the newly created Sheet 2 at the bottom and rename it Average Revenue per Sales Order by Salesperson.

On the left-hand side under Dimensions (sometimes labeled as Tables) click on Salesperson and drag it to the Columns area above the blank sheet.

On the left-hand side under Measures, click on Order Amount and drag it to the Rows area. This will create a vertical bar chart.

The calculation will default to Sum, which is not what we want for this exercise; therefore, we need to change the calculation from Sum to Average, as follows:

In the Rows section, click on the dropdown arrow in the green pill that currently says Sum (Order Amount). Choose Measures, then click on Average.

Order the bar chart from highest to lowest (Descending) by clicking on the Descending Sort button in the menu bar at the top of the screen ().

Label each bar with its respective amount by clicking on Order Amount and dragging and dropping it onto the Label Marks card.

If the labels appear horizontal, click on the Label Marks card () and under Label Appearance, click on the drop down for Alignment and choose () under direction.

Once again the calculation will default to Sum, and we need to change it to Average, as follows:In the Marks section, click on the dropdown arrow in the green pill that currently says Sum (Order Amount).

From the dropdown, choose Measures then click on Average

Add an average line to the entire bar chart by choosing the Analytics tab (next to the Data tab in the upper left-hand corner) and then, under the Summarize header, double-clicking on Average Line.An average line will appear on the visualization. To show the average amount, click on the newly created line and choose Edit.

Under the Label dropdown choose Value and click OK.
