Pivot Tables for Excel 2016

Transcript

Hi everyone, my name is Mike Thomas and welcome to my course Pivot Tables for Excel 2016. I am an IT Trainer with over 27 years experience.

Although I cover a wide range of technologies, my passion is Excel and in 2012 I founded theexceltrainer.co.uk, through which I provide written and video based tutorials. Pivot tables are one of the most powerful tools in Excel’s data analysis armoury. With just a few clicks of the mouse, and no complicated formulas, you can quickly and easily summarize and analyse large amounts of raw data.

In this course, you’ll learn how to create and manipulate pivot tables and get answers to those important questions on which you base your key business decisions.

Some of the major topics that we will cover include:

1. Best practice guidelines for setting up your data sources
2. Formatting a pivot table to make it understandable and inviting to read
3. Producing powerful reports including sorting, filtering and grouping your data
4. Presenting your data as a chart and an infographic
5. how to create a pivot table drive dashboard

By the end this course you’ll have a solid foundation that you can use to build your own pivot tables and reports. As long as you can create basic worksheets, understand simple formulas, and can copy and paste and apply basic formatting to cells, you’ll be able to follow along.
