Description

What is this Pivot Tables course about?

Excel Pivot Tables are one of the most powerful tools that come with Microsoft Excel. They are a must for any data analyst to dig into data, perform data analysis and draw conclusions.

What is a Pivot Table?

The word “Pivot” itself is defined as the central point, pin, or shaft on which a mechanism turns or oscillates. And that is exactly what pivot tables do. A Pivot Table turns your data. Pivot tables are also known as so called cross tables.

A Pivot Table is a very powerful Excel tool for structurally evaluating data in a simple tabular form. The underlying data source is summarised in a way that important properties of the data are represented in a simple overview of aggregated data.

Why do you need Excel Pivot Tables?

With Pivot Tables you basically flip your data to explore new dimensions to perform data analysis. This tool allows you to break down and reduce huge amounts of data to a basic tabular form that reveals new insights about your data.

In addition you can create stunning Excel Dashboards with the help of Excel Pivot Tables. With so called "slicers" you can enrich your data analysis and summaries with a user friendly interface to dig into your data. This way you can draw conclusions that you may not even have thought of beforehand.

With the right approach you can perform data analysis on any kind of data such as sales data or marketing performance data. Whatever your use case will be. With Pivot Tables you have a tool at hand which allows you to create any kind of KPI driven Excel dashboards to draw meaningful and actionable insights.
