What is a pivot table?

RE: excel

Hi Sophie,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum, Pivot Tables are covered on our Excel Advanced Course;

A pivot table is a summarisation of data which can be manipulated and viewed from different angles, if you have a large database and wish to summarise it; extracting either Totals, Averages, Highest or Lowest values etc, you could use a Pivot Table.

To create a Pivot table go to the menu command Data, Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Report, follow the Wizard's commands/suggestions to arrive at a grid which then allows you to place your field headings in the appropriate places. Your Pivot table will then be created.

I hope that helps, regards Pete.

Excel tip:

Counting Non Number Cells (Text)

If you try to use the COUNT FUNCTION =COUNT(Cell range)with a range of cells with numbers and or containing text fields you wil find that that the text cells will be excluded from the the count. If you want to include them try the the COUNTA FUNCTION =COUNTA(Cell range). This counts both text and number cell values.
