This session shows users that with a basic understanding of PivotTable conventions, the intimidation factor disappears. Additionally, it details the robust feature set built into PivotTables. This course also spends time providing information about Excel tables, which are helpful as a stand-alone feature, but also can be used to enhance PivotTable reporting.
