Excel Workbook Link and Explanation

My spreadsheet will allow you to access information about the tuition fees changes over the past five years in different provinces. Nova Scotia has the highest tuition fees in the most recent year and it has seen the biggest increase in tuition fees from 2015 to 2020. Also, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Yukon are the top three provinces with the cheapest tuition fees. The information I find most interesting is that in Ontario, tuition fees have decrease by 9.9 per cent this year for undergraduate students, but Ontario is still in top three provinces which has the most expensive tuition fees.
