Most Excel users eventually face the big list: employees, customers, products, sales, events or support tickets. The value is in there, such as your most profitable customer type or your most productive support rep, but the list won't reveal it on its own. This 60-minute Excel pivot tables training shows the fast way to get those answers.
You'll start with data layout best practices and PivotTable basics, then build your first PivotTable. From there you'll format and style it, add number formatting and multiple calculations, and filter and focus the data with filters, slicers and timelines.
The session also covers charting with on-the-fly filtering, custom calculated fields and items, and using the Excel Data Model.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Without PivotTables, summarizing data takes many steps that you repeat for every new calculation or group. A PivotTable builds a summary in a few clicks and pivots to a new view in a couple more, and several on one page form a dynamic dashboard.
This session suits executives, managers, business analysts, production supervisors and anyone who needs to analyze their part of the business.
