Some of the things you will learn in this course:
PivotTable basics
In this course, you’ll start by quickly and efficiently learning the basics of PivotTables, including how the database is structured, how it is updated, and why you should always create a table of the database before you make a PivotTable.
Analyse all types of data
This course helps you analyze all kinds of data, whether it’s revenue over time, costs broken down by department, analysing responses in a survey, etc.
Group data
Many databases contain a column made up of dates or times. This means that in your PivotTable you may need to analyse data and key figures by year, quarter, month, week, or day. PivotTables allow you to efficiently group based on dates, something you’ll learn in this course.
PivotCharts and slicers
It can sometimes be easier to analyse data by seeing it, for example, in the form of a bar or pie chart. It’s an effective way to visually present data after you’ve finished an analysis for a colleague or manager. The combination of charts and slicers can be magical and lifts your PivotTables to new heights.

A lesson from the course
In this lesson from The Excel PivotTables Guide, you will learn how pivot table slicers work. This is one of four lessons from the “Slicers” chapter. If you have previously come across report filters, a slicer can be compared to it, but slicers have the advantage of being easier to use. Slicers give us buttons that work just like filters, which makes them very smooth.
The Excel PivotTables Guide is one of Learnesy’s in-depth Excel courses. Pivot tables are used to summarize, analyze, explore and present data. What is the difference between pivot tables and regular tables in Excel? A normal table in Excel is a representation of the facts and figures you have entered. A pivot table, on the other hand, summarizes data that includes different types of aggregation such as mean and sum. Another advantage is the pivot table’s filters that help you easily analyze your data.
