What is a pivet table

What do you use a pivet table for?

RE: What is a pivet table

Hi Stephen

Thank you for your question

A pivot table simply cross references data contained in a list. By "list" I mean a table that has column headings describing properties of a particular object, and individual rows providing data about individual instances of that object.

For example supposing you had a list that contained information about individual sales, listing who the customer was, the sales value and who the sales person was.

You could use a pivot table to produce an analysis that listed the sales people as rwo headings, customers as column headings and the total sales of each salesperson to each customer as the actual data.

Hope this is useful

regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Cycling through Absoulte cell references

If you are working with formulas in excel and need to convert your formula to an absolute formula, instead on manually adding in the $dollar signs you can highlight the specific part of your formula and press the F4 key.

You can cycle through all the absolute options by pressing the button (up to four times)
