Pivot Tablets Essentials for Data Analytics in Excel

Pivot Tables are considered by many to be the most powerful data analysis feature in Excel, combining the ability to sort, filter, subtotal, calculate, and chart data in minutes. 

A Pivot Table displays a summary of a selected data set in a condensed format of rows, columns, data fields, and pages. These components can be “pivoted” with your mouse allowing you to expand, isolate, calculate, and group the particular data in real time. This table empowers the user to view and analyze large amounts of information.

Pivot Tables are a “must have” reporting tool enabling quick business decisions, crucial in business, government, and academic fields.

Pivot Charts provide added enhancement through the powerful graphical presentation of PivotTable data.
