Second active month Report

One month ago, my statistic was 13sales with $6.73 revenue.
Now, it is time to submit another report card.

Accumulated Sales: 22 (increased 69%)
Accumulated Revenue due to Sales $31.96 - (79-2)*0.2 = $16.56 (increased 146%)

Thrill from selling images online

Definitely, my case is not a successful case. But, it is fun to learn little by little at a time.
Firstly, I shoot for what I like. I don't shoot to ensure the images deliver the concepts of potential buyers.
Secondly, I didn't study the demand in DT.
Lastly, I simply shoot too little. Time to polish my gears and shoot with stock photography in mind!

Here is my poor statistic.
As of now, the official sales is 13 with $6.73 revenue. Let's see how much I can achieve in 1 month.

Excel tricks that I fond

Below are collective tutorials that I like: Countif  & find

1) To count if it is apples or oranges

=countif(range, criteria)+countif(range, criteria)

2) To count more than "criteria".
=countif(range, ">"& criteria)

3) To count number of words ending with es
=countif(range, "*es")

4) To find text using formated text data with space 

5) To find text using vlookup & wildcard. *Note: Faster than SEARCH and returns the first value.
= vloopup("*"&target"*",Range,target column,0)
6) To find text using lookup & SEARCH.*Note: Slower than Vlookup and returns the last value
=lookup(2*15, Search(target,range),target column)

7) Dynamic Data extraction
