This sounds like an examination question. The Community generally avoids any direct help in situations like this. If there's a particular step you're stuck on or tool that isn't working like it should, let us know and we'll do what we can to guide you in the right direction.

An Input Data tool contains 100 records, each representing a unique customer's transaction information. The Customer ID (a unique identifier for each customer) and Customer Segment provide basic information about the customer. The transactions column represents the average number of transactions that customer has made over the past year.

In this exercise, drop the columns "Weekly Sales" and "Store Volume". Then find the 5 customers with the highest average transactions in the "South" region. Your results window should match the Final State Input Data tool.
