Excel’s pivot tables are a powerful tool for analyzing data. With only a few minutes of work and no previous experience, you can create an attractively formatted report that summarizes thousands of rows of data. This book guides you through the process of planning and creating a pivot table; enhancing it with formatting, calculations, and special settings; and creating a polished final report. Even if you’ve used pivot tables in previous versions of Excel, much has changed in Excel 2007. The user interface is dramatically different, and pivot tables have many new features. Instead of struggling to find things on your own, you can use this book to accelerate the process of learning how things work in the new version.
