What is a PivotTable?
A PivotTable is a powerful tool in Excel that allows you to analyze large amounts of data
quickly and easily. It’s called a PivotTable because you can pivot, or rotate, its row and column
labels to see different summaries of the source data.
Creating a PivotTable
Select any cell in your data set.
Go to the Insert tab and click on PivotTable.
In the Create PivotTable dialog box, ensure the correct data range is selected and choose where
you want the PivotTable to be placed.
Click OK.
Basic PivotTable Operations
Adding Fields: Drag and drop fields from the PivotTable Field List into the Rows, Columns,
Values, or Filters area.
Sorting: Click the drop-down arrow next to the Row or Column label, and then under Sort,
choose the sorting method you want.
Filtering: Click the drop-down arrow next to the Row or Column label, and then under Filter,
choose the filter you want.
Updating Data: If your data changes, click Refresh on the PivotTable Tools > Analyze tab.
Key Terms
Row & Column Labels: These are the fields that you want to break down your data by. They
form the rows and columns of your PivotTable.
Values: This is the data that you want to summarize in your PivotTable. Excel will
automatically apply a calculation to your values, such as sum or count.
Filters: These allow you to display only data that meets certain criteria.
Remember, the power of PivotTables comes from their flexibility. Try experimenting with

different arrangements of data to get the view that’s most helpful for you. Happy analyzing! 📊
