Pivot Tables 2007- Introduction

Pivot Tables are a great way of turning great quantum’s of data into useful reports that maybe look something like this. You can see the report is nicely set up with the months and the destination networks. The benefit of Pivot Tables, though, is that we can easily change this. So, for example, if we want a more detailed report where maybe we want to  know the phone calls   made to that network – it is as easy as this – and you’ll see you now have all the information available to you.

The basic structure of a Pivot Table is as follows:-  you have got a section where you can put the data in, and a section for column headers, you have a section for Row headers and you have a section for Page Field headers. What you’ll notice is all these sections can be controlled by the Pivot Table Field list which appears on the right hand side of your screen.
