                 Fixing Formatting Issues

                 Sometimes, data may be in a format that makes it difficult to process. For example, in our dataset, the Rupee ( )
                 symbol in the Price per Unit column may prevent us from performing calculations on those values.
                 Data should always be clean and follow a consistent format. To remove the dollar symbol, follow these steps:
                 Step 1   Select the Price per Unit column by clicking on the column G.

                 Step 2   Select the Number format.
                 This will remove the rupee symbol from all the values in the column and convert them into numeric format, making
                 them ready for further calculations.






































                 This will remove the rupee symbol from all the values in the column and convert them into numeric format, making
                 them ready for further calculations.
