Pivot Tables

The issue I have with pivot tables is that it is difficult knowing what data goes where

RE: Pivot Tables

Hi Matthew

Thank you for your question, and apologies for the delay in response.

The whole idea of the pivot table is that it gives you numerous choices in how you choose to display your data. Really there are no 'rules' on where items go in the pivot table area, apart from numerical values should go into the data items area.

I hope this helps.
Amanda


 

Excel tip:

Quickly copy a formula across sheets

Suppose you have a formula in cell Sheet1!B2, say =A1*5%, that you wish to copy to cell B2 on Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4. Instead of using copy and paste, try this: (1) Select Sheet1!B2. (2) Group Sheet1 with the worksheets Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4 by holding down Ctrl and clicking on the tabs of the sheets to group them. (3) Press the F2 key, then immediately press Enter to copy the formula in Sheet1!B2 across the grouped sheets.

Remember to ungroup the sheets afterwards! Right-click on any tab and choose Ungroup Sheets to do that.
