Pivot tables

Would like to learn the basics of this

RE: Pivot tables

Hi Pam,

Thank you for your question.

A pivot table is a tool used to analyse large amounts of data arranged in columns.

There are four areas of a pivot table, the Page Area, Row, Column and Data.

You select fields for each of the areas and then analyse the data.

If you had Name as the row heading, car as the column heading and salary as the data field, where the name intersects with the car, the cell displays the salary for that person driving that car.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Creating custom lists

In Excel if you type in January in a cell, you can then copy this cell to replicate Febraury, MArch, April etc.

This list has come from Tools- options and Custom lists.

Therefore to save time and create your own list you can click on New (in Tools and custom list tab) and type out the lsit that you want copied quickly.

All you have to do is then type in the 1st word and you will be able to copy the rest of the list quickly.
