Pivot tables

how do you use pivot tables

RE: Pivot tables

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for the post, to create a Pivot table you need to have a database set up in Excel which can be used as the basis for the Pivot Table, select a single cell in the database go to the Menu command Data, Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Report, follow the steps on the Wizard dialog box that opens, selecting Microsoft Office Excel List or database and Pivot Table, click Next, confirm that the range shown is the data range you wish to use, if not select a different range, choose the location for the Pivot Table report, it cannot be the same as the source data sheet, click Finish, Drag and Drop chosen fields to the chosen areas i.e. Page, Column, Row and place your data field in the Data Items area, you will have created a Pivot table which can be used to analyse and summarise your data. I hope that helps, regards Pete.

Excel tip:

Showing all menu items

If you go into a pull down menu you usally find that you get a selection of items(this is the default) or sometimes everything. If you only get a selectiopn you have to go to the double arrows at the bottom of the menu and click it to get all of the hidden items.
To turn this off so that you always get everything, go to Tools / Customize / Options Tab / "Always show full menus". Make sure there is a tick in the box and you will always have every item.
