Why using sales from the previous year (590) to predict profit and not the sales planning for the upcoming year (501.5)?

Hello,

The reason is simply because the "Share of sales" data are referred to the sales of Y3.

If you eliminate a specificate part of the sales (e.g. products <5€) you can not assume that share of sales of products will be the same.

Does it make sense?
