See for yourself examples of simple, ‘2D’ and nested row PivotTables plus filtering and the many calculation options. PivotTables aren’t black magic and you don’t need an advanced degree to understand them. Understand PivotTables by looking at expert examples, tinkering with the setup to see what happens when you make changes. We do that with plenty of step-by-step instructions and, crucially, Excel worksheets you can open and try for yourself. PivotTables and PivotCharts from scratch in a new edition strips away the techobabble so you can make your own PivotTables and make sense of any list of numbers or information. Thanks for joining us! You'll get a welcome message in a few moments.
