how do i format a pivot table?

RE: pivot tables

Hello Michelle,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel A|dvanced course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding formatting a pivot table. In Excel 2007 this is done using the Design ribbon in the PivotTable Tools contextual tab. In the PivotTable Styles group, select the appropriate style.

If you wish to format the values then in the PivotTable field list section click the item and then click 'Value Field Settings' and make the approriate changes. These will then show in the PivotTable data area.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney

Excel tip:

Sum Up All the Values in A Column

If you want to quickly calculate the Summed values of all cells in a column in Excel 2003 normally you would use the SUM formula. (eg if you wanted to calculate the values in Column C rows 10 to 25) the formula would be:

=SUM(C10:C25)

However, if you keep adding values to column C you would keep having to modify the above SUM formula which can get quite annoying.

To get around this you can sum all the values in a column using the following formula:

=SUM(COLUMN:COLUMN)

Which, in our example, would be:

=SUM(C:C)

NOTE You cannot place this formula in column C, or else Excel 2003 will show a circular reference error.

The formula must be placed in any other column, EXCEPT the one being calculated.
