Pivot Table

Hi Lisa, Thank you for your post

In answer to your question, a Pivot Table is an interactive worksheet table that can summarise large amounts of data using the views and permutations that you choose. It is called a Pivot Table because you can rotate its row and column headings around the core data to give you different views of the source data. As the source data changes you can update the pivot table, a pivot table can be used as a source for a pivot chart. I hope that makes it clearer.
regards Pete.
