Microsoft Excel: PivotTables & PivotCharts

Setting up and Using a PivotTable, Creating a PivotChart

PivotTables let you quickly and effortlessly organize and analyze your data in countless ways, often with no formula writing involved. Even better, with a click of a button you can create a chart from the PivotTable that makes sense! In this session we’ll discuss the critical first step to creating a PivotTable, how to get started, and the many options available for seeing your data. These elements will apply to any version of Microsoft Office that you are using! If they're located in a different version, I try my best to point you in the right direction.

This is the fifth and final session in our A Better Way to Use Excel course but can be watched alone, if this is all you need right now.
