Hi everyone. My name is Mike Thomas and welcome to my course Pivot Tables for Excel 2016. I'm an IT trainer with over 27 years' experience. Pivot tables are one of the most powerful tools in Excel's data analysis armory. With just a few clicks of the mouse and no complicated formulas, you can quickly and easily summarize and analyze 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'll cover include best practice guidelines for setting up your data sources, formatting a pivot table to make it understandable and inviting to read, producing powerful reports, including sorting, filtering, and grouping your data, presenting your data as a chart and an infographic, and how to create a pivot table driven dashboard. By the end of the course, you'll have a solid foundation that you can use to build your own pivot tables and reports. And as long as you can create basic worksheets, understand simple formula, and copy and paste, and apply basic formatting to cells, you'll be able to follow along.
