How do I do a pivot table?
RE: Pivot tables
Hi Janet,
Welcome to the forum, thank you for your first post, in response to your question;
Pivot Tables are a means by which we can summarise large chunks of data, pivoting the data to give different perspectives and views.
To create a Pivot Table you should follow these steps; (which you will be shown on your advanced course)
To create a Pivot table you need to have a list set up in Excel which can be used as the basis for the Pivot Table.
Select a single cell in the list go to the Menu command Data, Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Report.
Follow the steps on the Wizard dialog box that opens, selecting Microsoft Office Excel List or database and Pivot Table, click Next.
Confirm that the range shown is the data range you wish to use, if not select a different range, choose the location for the Pivot Table report, (it cannot be the same as the source data sheet,)
Click Finish,
Drag and Drop chosen fields to the chosen areas; ie Page, Column, Row and place your data field in the Data Items area, you will have created a Pivot table which can be used to analyse and summarise your data.
I hope that helps, regards Pete.
