RE: pivot tables
Hi Sharon
A pivot table takes information that is stored in a series of columns in Excel (a list) and turn it into a summarised table format.
The pivot table allows you to collate/summarise individual values that are stored in a column, by for example, summing them, averaging them, displaying percentages of totals and so on.
The major advantages of a pivot table are that you can rearrange the items you put into the table quickly and easily by dragging and dropping; and you can create a chart from it by clicking a button.
