What is the most likely cause of this issue?

A data analyst has a PivotTable summarizing sales by `Region` (Rows), `Product Category` (Rows), and `Year` (Columns). They need to add a new column directly within the PivotTable that calculates a 5% commission for each `Product Category` based on the total sales amount. This calculation should update dynamically as the PivotTable is filtered or refreshed. What is the most appropriate tool to achieve this?

Q10

A financial analyst needs to create a chart that compares monthly revenue (in millions of dollars) against the number of units sold (in thousands).

What type of chart and feature should be used to visualize this data effectively?
