Guided Project 4-3 Clemenson Imaging wants to analyze expense reports from field representatives as well as its patient data and image data. To complete the necessary worksheets, you import a comma-separated text file (.csv), use the Subtotal command, and run Goal Seek. You also format data as a table and build an advanced filter.
