Pivot tables turn complex data into reports with a few mouse clicks. This 60-minute Excel pivot table basics webinar shows how to create and use them, and points out the nuances that can trip up users so your reports stay accurate.
You'll learn to start a pivot table from a list of data, prepare unwieldy data in the right format, add and remove fields, expand and collapse groups and drill into numbers with the Report Filter. The session explains how pivot tables differ from worksheet formulas and why Refresh matters.
It also covers number formatting, subtotals, Timeline date filters, turning off GETPIVOTDATA, a macro that removes "Sum of" from field names, and spotting anomalies in QuickBooks data.
Pivot tables are one of the fastest ways to build accurate reports, but a few quirks can lead to wrong numbers. Each technique is demonstrated step by step in Excel, with differences between Excel versions pointed out along the way.
The session suits professionals in accounting, finance, banking, marketing, management consulting and HR who want to create accurate reports with pivot tables.
