RE: pivot tables

Hi Jacques

Thanks for your question.

The idea behind a pivot table is to take 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.

Excel tip:

Colouring cells containing formulas

Cells in a worksheet can contain values or they can contain formulas. You may wish to identify all the cells in your worksheet that contain formulas by colouring those cells.

Follow these steps:
1. Choose Edit > Go To menu, or press either F5 or Ctrl+G. Excel displays the Go To dialog box.
2. Click Special. Excel displays the Go To Special dialog box.
3. Select the Formulas radio button option.
4. Select OK.

At this point, every formula cell in the worksheet is selected, and those cells can be coloured formatted as desired.
