Pivot Tables

Why would you use pivot tables or what is the benfit of using them?

RE: Pivot Tables

Hi Trish

Many thanks for your question. Your worksheet has lots of data, but do you know what the numbers mean? Does your data answer all your questions? PivotTable reports can help to analyze numerical data and answer questions about it.

In seconds you can see who sold the most, and where. See which quarters were the most profitable, and which product sold best. Ask questions, see the answers.

With PivotTable reports, you can look at the same information in different ways with just a few mouse clicks. Data swings into place, answering questions, telling you what the data means.

Hope this answers your question.

Kind regards

Sue

Excel tip:

Quickly hide and unhide rows and columns

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+9 to hide selected rows and Ctrl+0 to hide selected columns. The good thing about this shortcut is that you do not need to select entire rows or columns. For example, select B3:D3 then press Ctrl+0 to hide columns B to D.

Ctrl+Shift+9 unhides rows and Ctrl+Shift+0 unhides columns.
