If you spend the time to Learn Pivot Tables,  you will have a great advantage in using Microsoft Excel.

Previously, getting IT departments to write custom reports to summarize the data in different ways used to take ages.

And even if you could get a report written for your needs, by the time you got it, it was too late, or you wanted to look at that same  information from another angle… But asking the IT department to make further changes would mean further delays..

Fortunately, With Pivot table functionality in Excel,  you can now create your own Dynamic Reports in no time. And you can slice and dice information pretty easily, with just a few clicks.

The Pivot Table has been existing in Microsoft Excel since the earliest version – and has been very popular feature in Excel – from the latest Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Excel 2019, to Excel 2016 and even Microsoft Excel 2013. In fact, major enhancements in Pivot Tables in Excel 2019 & Office 365 have prompted people to migrate from previous versions of Excel.

You must learn how to create a pivot table fast.

In Excel 2019 / Office 365, the pivot table functionality has improved even further, making it much easier to visualize the data.

It is supported by SkillsFuture and the Singapore government. So you can use learn Excel with SkillsFuture credits.

Top 5 Reasons to Learn Excel Pivot Tables:

1. Excel Pivot Table and Pivot Charts allow you to look at the same data in a completely different way.Now you can group the information by departments, by Days, Months, Quarters, Years, and summarize information at a higher level, or drill it down to the lowest level available.

2. Secondly, you do not need to do any IT programming to create or use a pivot table. That means that you can do the analysis and reporting on your own, without anyone’s help. All your slice and dice can happen in seconds, on the fly, exactly the way you want it.

3. Thirdly, it hardly takes a few minutes to create a pivot table. This is a great time saver for the data warriors, or sales/marketing people who spend their time on the road, but want the control to look at their data quickly, in a way that suits them. And once the Pivot Table is created, you don’t have to create it again. You can save the file along with the data and the pivot table. Whenever you open the Excel data file, the Pivot Table would be automatically loaded, and refreshed too.

4. Fourthly, a Pivot Table is somewhat like having a Business Intelligence (BI) tool – like Hyperion, Tableau, SAP B1, Cognos or Crystal Reports and other heavy-duty, huge price tag products. You can analyze data in numerous ways, slice and dice it, sum it, count it, compare it with other years, areas, departments etc. with ease.

And last but not the least, an Excel Pivot is a Dynamic Report and can be extended with Conditional Formatting, Pivot Charts, Sparklines etc. to really make meaningful dashboards for presenting to the management.

I would say that a sound knowledge of Excel Pivot Tables is a Must for every Excel User. It will elevate your level from just a casual user, to an Excel Power Analyst – someone who can convert raw data into information – actionable information.
