When the formulas were subsequently copied into other rows and columns, the columns referenced in the Kickstarter dataset automatically shifted and returned inaccurate calculations. A Testing sheet was added to the workbook, and within it a pivot table was used to count the number of each campaign outcome at individual funding amounts. These amounts were then grouped into the ranges used in the original calculations to check the accuracy of the data. This highlighted the error within the original formula, and further formulas used absolute cell references appropriately. -Also within the CountIfs formulas, the data ranges are hard-coded into the calculations. Adding a column to transform the text data in the Goal column to mathmatical representations (e.g., "<1000" instead of "Less than 1000") would provide greater flexibility as well as fewer opportunities for errors. +Also within the CountIfs formulas, the data ranges are hard-coded into the calculations.
