“

(cheerful upbeat music) - [Instructor] Oh, here we go again. Okay. "I've got some questions about our expenses." Okay. "I want to know per hotel, what's the distribution of spend for Annual Payroll and Building Maintenance? Who's keeping control of expenses year on year, and who's keeping costs down?" Hmm, okay. That's going to require some analytic work, I think. All right. Now we're going to do this one. So we're going to need to create a chart to show expenses for each hotel. We're going to have to have some annual data, so we're going to need to use the year for when that spend occurred. We need to show the payroll and the building maintenance. Those are the two measures they're interested in. And we need to be able to show who's keeping control of expenses and who's keeping them down across all of those years. Sounds like we might need to use a box plot. Maybe a box plot showing the hotel name by year for each of those expenses. Okay. To the analytics pane.
