Pivot Table using Microsoft Excel

Pivot Table using Microsoft Excel


 What is Pivot Table?
Microsoft Excel 2010 is rich of features and one most important feature is Pivot Table management, development and deployment. In simple words, a pivot table allows you to create an interactive view of your data set. We call this view a pivot table report. With a pivot table report, you can quickly and easily categorize your data into groups, summarize large amounts of data into meaningful information, and perform a wide variety of calculations in a fraction of the time it takes by hand. But the real power of a pivot table report is that you can interactively drag and drop fields within your report, dynamically changing your perspective and recalculating totals to fit your current view.

When Should You Use a Pivot Table Excel?
Large data sets, ever-changing impromptu data requests, and multilayered reporting are absolute productivity killers if you have to tackle them by hand. Doing hand-to-hand combat with one of these tasks is not only time consuming, but it also opens the possibility of an untold number of errors in your analysis. So how do you recognize when to use a pivot table before it is too late?

Generally, a pivot table serves you well in any of the following situations:
You need to find relationships and groupings within your data.
You need to find a list of unique values for one field in your data.
You need to find data trends using various time periods.
You anticipate frequent requests for changes to your data analysis.
You need to create subtotals that frequently include new additions.
You need to organize your data into a format that is easy to chart.

Who Should Attend?
Anybody who once faced a situation as described above needs to know a pivot table.
