The price (£) should be retrieved from the following table using an XLOOKUP formula. The number of cars (N° of units) should not exceed THREE. The Total (£) column should be calculated using the following Excel formula:

Total = N° of units sold x Price

Required:

Demonstrate the use of Excel data validation by producing some useful screenshots. Include formulae to show your understanding of how to use the data validation facility in Excel to retrieve information for specific cases from the table above. You should show how to retrieve the price and total (in £) for the ‘Supreme’ car.
