    Please help me solve this problem

    So there are two questions that I am stuck on.

    Question 1
    ------------
    "Under Column U in Input Data 1 Table 2, calculate the winning margin of the winner for each assembly constituency
    (Winning Margin = Vote Share secured by 1st candidate - Vote Share secured by 2nd candidate). Use the required data from Table 1 in Input Data 1"


    Question 2
    ------------
    Which political party had the most number of candidates ranked 2nd?

    I am attaching the file below. Please see if this can be solved. I am stuck!!

    Nothing is more frustrating than to be working on homework and to get stuck. Without guidance, you might have no hope of finishing the assignment before the deadline. The Internet can be a big help in that respect, but without learning how to get the right answer, asking others to solve your homework questions for you simply becomes a downward spiral (and it's cheating).

    We do not want to contribute to you cheating yourself out of your education, but we also acknowledge that seeking assistance to learn a concept is a legitimate request.

    If you are genuinely interested in receiving help in the form of tutoring or coaching, then please rephrase the title of your original post to clearly indicate you are seeking coaching or tutoring help. Any forum members (who are willing to assist as a tutor) will modify their responses accordingly to facilitate your learning. Tutors don't tell you the answers, they help you figure it out for yourself; so don't expect answers, expect suggestions, or just plain hints. Also, be specific in describing the function/formula or technique you trying to learn, and tell us what you have attempted so far. Otherwise, expect your plea for homework answers to be ignored.

    Thank you for your not so helpful reply to this post. If you could read the title clearly it says "Help me solve", and not "solve and tell me the answer". Help can be sought from anywhere, be it online or offline. Didn't you think for 1 second that maybe if someone helped me with this query, next time I know how to solve this when I'm in this situation again, and in turn help someone else. Notice the keyword here "Help". which is another way of saying "guide me solve this problem". Again, I'm not in college or school, so this is not my homework. I was genuinely thinking someone can explain how it could be solved, and not solve it for me. If someone is stuck at work, or in school trying to solve something, they refer to the internet for help. It makes it easy for people to solve their problems without wasting time. So once again, I didn't appreciate your reply. Talking to me as if I am cheating on my school test. If you can't help, don't bother replying.

    1. Your title is unacceptable: it tells us nothing about what you want help with and it needs changing. If I could work out which bit you need help with, I'd do it for you, but you have not been specific, so you will need to change it yourself before anyone offers any further help in this thread.
    2. Tell us what you have tried and in what way it is not working.
