PivotTables

Hello Best Training,

How would you describe the purpose of a PivotTable?

Thanks,

Vicky

RE: PivotTables

Hi Victoria, Thank you for your post, in answer and to keep it brief; A Pivot table is an interactive worksheet table that quickly summarises large amounts of data using the format and calculation methods that you choose. It is called a pivot table because you can rotate its row and column headings around the core data to give you different views of the source data. As the source data changes, you can update a pivot table. Because it resides on a worksheet, you can integrate a pivot table into a large worksheet model using standard formulas. You can also create a PivotChart based on the underlying pivot table to view the data graphically. I hope that answers your question, if it does please click the Resolved button, if not please come back, best regards Pete
