Pivot Tables

Pivot tables allow users to explore, summarize, and analyze large amounts of data. They present data in a user-friendly format, allow filtering and sorting to focus on relevant information, and enable rotating rows to columns or vice versa. Pivot tables calculate subtotals and aggregates. Users can style and customize pivot tables, as well as refresh them to update based on changes to the source data.

PIVOT TABLES

WHAT IS AN EXCEL PIVOT


TABLE?
An Excel Pivot Table is a tool to explore and
summarize large amounts of data, analyze related
totals and present summary reports designed to:
Present large amounts of data in a user-friendly
way.
Summarize data by categories and subcategories.
Filter, group, sort and conditionally format
different subsets of data so that you can focus on
the most relevant information.
Rotate rows to columns or columns to rows (which
is called "pivoting") to view different summaries of
the source data.
Subtotal and aggregate numeric data in the
spreadsheet.
HOW TO MAKE A PIVOT TABLE
IN EXCEL
1. Organize your source data
2. Create a Pivot Table
3. Arrange the layout of your Pivot Table report
4. Choose the function for the Values field (optional)
5. Show different calculations in value fields (optional)
USING PIVOT TABLES IN
EXCEL
Once you have created a Pivot Table based on your source data, you
may want to refine it further to make powerful data analysis.
To improve the table's design, head over to the Design tab where you
will find plenty of pre-defined styles. To create your own style, click the
More button in the PivotTable Styles gallery, and then click "New
PivotTable Style...".
To customize the layout of a certain field, click on that field, then click
the Field Settings button on the Analyze tab in Excel 2013 and higher
(Options tab in Excel 2010 and 2007). Alternatively, you can right click
the field and choose Field Settings from the context menu.
REFRESH PIVOT TABLE
Although a Pivot Table report is connected to your source data, you
might be surprised to know that Excel does not refresh it automatically.
You can get any data updates by performing a refresh operation
manually, or have it refresh automatically when you open the workbook.

1. Click anywhere in your table.


2. On the Analyze tab (Options tab in earlier versions), in the Data
group, click the Refresh button, or press ALT+F5.
