Copy and paste the data into a new Excel file, or you can copy the data to Minitab directly if comfortable with that. There should be two columns. The first column is the date and the second column is the company revenue. You do not need to use the SG&A data. Your data should start with the oldest date and end with the most recent data. Copy and paste the data to Minitab if needed. Make sure you label your data. Make sure you save the Excel file created or the Minitab spreadsheet. You will need to add more data later.
