Would I have to use regression or some other function to predict multiple expected values?

Working on a case study and the final portion is to create 3 ideal sets that would maximize the number of good marketing prospects and minimize our spending. I have to filter between some different column values i.e. Age_group (20-25, 25-35, etc), Region (Midwest, South, North, etc), etc.

All of the data is located on another sheet on the same workbook which contains several filters/values for various columns like the two columns I mentioned above. Once I've created a specific set i.e. 20-25 for Age_group, Midwest for Region, I'm supposed to write in adjacent cells which the expected number of good prospects and spending would be. For instance, if I use the ideal set mentioned in the previous sentence, I could get a value of "300" good prospects and "$1450" for expected cost. If I were to change the Age_group from 20-25 to 25-35 and keep the Region the same, my values may change to "105" good prospects and "$1900" expected cost.

Would I calculate this using multiple regression or some other method? I don't know much about stat so I don't know about all of the different options I can use. Thank you!

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Hi,
Based on your description you just want to sum the number of good prospects and return the cost.
Is this correct?
Are you using formulae or a Pivot table?

Hi cyrilbrd,

It's a little more than that since I have a few other columns I'd like to calculate for. The thing is I'm not sure what type of formula to even use. Someone advised I solve this issue using statistics although I'm a beginner in that field.

You will get more feedback by posting a small sample of your raw data as well as the expected results you are looking for.
Thus would help readers understand the required process.

Definitely, here's an edited sample of my data: Marketing Case Study.xlsx

In the workbook, on the "New Ad Sets" sheet, I'm trying to predict expected monthly spend, clicks, and cost per good prospect based off device and gender. The corresponding data values are found on the "Raw Data" sheet.

Also, thank you for taking the time to respond!
