    =SUM(Totals!E40:P40) for Total Revenue
    =SUM(Totals!E41:P41) for Total Profits

    Except .. when you work out PROFIT : its TOTAL REVENUE - TOTAL COST .. So will be =SUM(G7-G6)

    I'm really struggling with this exam and not sure how to prepare properly. Considering its only a couple of weeks away I'm worried. In particular, this is the if function. The importing and basic printing is fine but I'm not sure about the advertising bit. Advice needed please!

    Sure mate. Look at the PDF's that I posted. They take you through it, step by step.

    Hey... It sounds similar to what we have .. And probably get the same answers but we've been given =IF(And(Values!$B7="Yes",IF(Valu es!B $21="Yes",Advertising!B7,0),0) ... Which works!

    I'm also opening 4 shops with the highest ratings for profit - and three advertisement methods!..
    I opened around 3 shops (along with Falmouth) and only two advertising methods. so yeah, I guess we're on the right track there

    oh, you got the total profits from the Totals sheet? I got mine off the Monthly Figures. my formulas are:

    =('Monthly Figures'!N14) for Total Costs
    =('Monthly Figures'!N15) for Total Revenue
    =('Monthly Figures'!N16) for Total Profit

    I think you need to get them off the Monthly Figures; if not, then why would they bother putting that information in the spreadsheet? You need a monthly figure to calculate total profit. each month has their own profit, that's why we need to total it.

    I agree with you here. I think a few people on here are (probably not purposefully) making this a lot harder than it should be.
