Instructor Curt Frye demystifies PivotTables, using real-world examples that empower students to make the most of their time with the program and to analyze their data effectively. Learn how to evaluate and summarize data, sort and filter results, format your PivotTables with styles and conditional formatting, and visualize your analysis with PivotCharts.
