Please post the code that you have written so far. So we can have a check on what you are doing there.

ok here you go i forgot my actually code on the pc at school so i need to start over

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class SalesStats
{
	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
	{
	    // Create a Divisions object.
	    Divisions d = new Divisions();

   	    // Read the values from the file into d.
	    readValues(d);
		
	    // Display the values in d.
	    displaySales(d);
	
	    // Display the quarterly increase or decrease.
	    displayQtrDifference(d);
		
	    // Display the total sales by quarter.
	    displaySalesByQtr(d);
		
	    // Display the quarterly increase or decrease
	    // by quarter.
	    displayCompanyQtrDifference(d);
		
	    // Display the average sales per quarter.
	    displayAverageSalesPerQtr(d);
		
	    // Display the division with the highest sales
	    // by quarter.
	    displayHighestDivisionPerQtr(d);
	}

}

this is the part im asking about

	public static void readValues(Divisions d) throws IOException
	{
             /* Missing code starts here */
			Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
			File file = new File("Sales.txt");
			Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);
			while(inputFile.hasNext())
				{
				String Sales = inputFile.nextLine();
				inputFile.close();
				}
             /* Missing code ends here */
	}

The following code will store data read from the Sales.txt document into an ArrayList. Use ArrayList if we are not sure the size of our data are. We can just add data into an ArrayList.

public static void readValues(Divisions d) throws IOException
{
        ArrayList list = new ArrayList();

        File file = new File("Sales.txt");
        Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file);

        while(inputFile.hasNext()) {
            String sales = inputFile.nextLine();
            list.add(sales);
        }
}
