Project Description:
You are considering several cities for a vacation. In particular, you are interested in Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Boston. You will format a list of memorials in DC, add Sparklines to compare the number of visitors over a 15-year period, and create a bar chart to illustrate annual visitors at each memorial. In addition, you will create a table of sightseeing locations, sort and filter the data, apply conditional formatting, and add a total row to display average time needed to spend at each memorial. Finally, you will complete a worksheet by adding formulas to compare estimated major expenses for each city.

by the number of months in a year (cell I8). The term is one
year (12 months). Use a cell reference. The Total Cost for the
city is the present value. Use relative and mixed (or absolute)
references correctly. Make sure the result is a positive value.
