Excel PivotTable: How to Crunch Numbers like an Expert

Why Should You Attend:

When you work with large lists of data, you need more than just the techniques for sorting and filtering that data; you need a way to analyze that data in an effective, quick and dynamic way. There’s nothing better than a PivotTable - Excel's premier analytical tool. You can quickly create a compact summary report (based on tons of data) without needing to write complex formulas or rely on lengthy techniques.

In addition to speed, a PivotTable gives you amazing flexibility and dynamism that lets you quickly change the data interrelationships you’re viewing. Most PivotTable users discover that the feature is relatively easy to learn, but not so easy off the printed page; this is a visually-oriented feature based on displaying fields in different locations.

In addition to showing you all the techniques and tips for creating and manipulating PivotTables, this webinar will also show you more powerful PivotTable techniques, like Slicers, Timelines, Calculated Fields, and Conditional Formatting.
