Overview

  • Course Overview
  • In this 1/2 day course you will learn how to use the Excel tool to make a pivot table.

    A pivot table is a table of statistics that summarizes the data of a more extensive table such as a database, spreadsheet, or business intelligence program. This summary might include sums, averages, or other statistics, which the pivot table groups together in a meaningful way.

    Pivot tables are a technique in data processing. They enable a person to arrange and rearrange (or "pivot") statistics in order to draw attention to useful information.

    With a pivot table, you can transform one million rows of transactional data into a summary report in seconds. If you can drag a mouse, you can create a pivot table. In addition to quickly summarizing and calculating data, pivot tables enable you to change your analysis on the fly by simply moving fields from one area of a report to another.
