You manage the Quota Computation project for all three plants, and you want to know the total time employees have spent on your project. This project manager will have considerable work to do to find the result needed. On each sheet, the worksheet rows will have to be sorted by project, a sum will have to be computed for the Quota Computation project, and then this sum will have to be added to a total for all three plants. The data provided is sufficient to
