Pivot tables

how do you use pivot tables

RE: Pivot tables

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for the post, to create a Pivot table you need to have a database set up in Excel which can be used as the basis for the Pivot Table, select a single cell in the database 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 i.e. 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.

Excel tip:

Sorting data stored in rows

Primarily Excel is set up to sort data that is stored in columns rather than rows.

It is possible to get Excel to sort data stored in rows however.

Click in the row you want to sort, or select the cells in the rows you wish to sort.

Go to Data - Sort, then go to the Options button in the bottom left corner of the Sort dialogue box.
