Recent research released by Microsoft shows that 80% of Excel users have yet to use pivot tables. In this presentation Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA, covers the basics of creating and using Excel pivot tables. You'll quickly be able to instantly summarize lists of data into meaningful reports with just a few clicks of your mouse. As with many aspects of Excel, pivot tables have several nuances that can frustrate new users, so David will be sure to bring these to your attention so that you can use the feature effectively. David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Topics covered:

  • Contrasting sorting data within worksheets to the nuances of sorting data within pivot tables.
  • Repositioning or removing subtotals within pivot tables.
  • Adding fields to a blank pivot table to create instant reports.
  • Filtering pivot table data based on a new dimension by using the Report Filter command.
  • Avoiding the dreaded PivotTable Field Name Already Exists error prompt.
  • Drilling down into the details behind any amount within a pivot table with just a double-click.
  • Distinguishing the differences among pivot table-related menus in Excel 2013 and later versus older versions of Excel.
  • Adding fields to a blank pivot table to create instant reports.
  • Determining which refresh commands in Excel update a single pivot table versus all pivot tables in a workbook.
  • Filtering pivot table data based on a new dimension by using the Report Filter command.
  • Determining which refresh commands in Excel update a single pivot table versus all pivot tables in a workbook.
  • Resetting all filters at once within a pivot table by way of the Clear Filters command.

This course is Part 1 of a 3 part series:

Part 2: Excel Efficiency: Intermediate Pivot Tables

Part 3: Excel Efficiency: Advanced Pivot Tables

Learning Objectives
  • Identify the location of the pivot table-related Subtotals command within Excel's ribbon menu interface.
  • Identify the location of the Field List command within Excel's ribbon menu interface.
  • Identify which of four ways is not a method for removing fields from a pivot table.

This was the best Excel training I have taken. The steps were easy to follow and having a copy of the data to work along with really kept me engaged. It was actually fun! It helped to be able to stop and make sure I had it right when it took a moment to really understand. The only issue I had is that I started working with the data in the browser Excel 365. That doesn't work like the course shows. I finally figured out to open in the desktop version and that worked perfectly.

Although the presenter is obviously knowledgeable about the subject, the part I was missing was being able to work along with him. If he had have made the text data sheet available as a supporting material where the user could work along him, it would have solidified the information much better for those of use who learn hands on. I feel like I know now what a pivot table is and can be used for, but I still don't know how to do it myself.

The course presented well organized. Explaining information on the slides following with hands-on practice on the excel spreadsheet was really helpful for me. Many useful tips presented that will help me to use pivot tables more efficiently in the future. The only problem was that there were many useful tips presented in a short time. I appreciate having the option of downloading slides that can be helpful to go back and refresh.

Although I am familiar with PivotTables (mostly through trial and error), this helped strengthen my knowledge, especially learning the different ways you could present the data and sort/filter. The instructor is clear - going through the step-by-step instructions first and then showing it live in Excel. It also helped to have the Excel file in the Supporting Materials section so I could follow along.

The slides have way too much data and are confusing as a reference tool. This was excellent for a much better understanding of how to use pivot tables. I especially like all of the shortcuts that you included. I always use keyboard shortcuts when possible. A lot of data in a short period of time, so much more that could be covered so hopefully there is an advanced course in the works.

I have been using pivot table for many years at work. The pace is a bit too slow for me. However, it is fine for people who are new to pivot table. I actually learn a couple new things in this course which can improve my efficiency at work. Overall, I think it is a really great resources for beginner and a good course for experience user.There is always something new to learn with Excel.

Excellent course and introduction to pivot tables. I always thought pivot tables were too complicated to try but after this course I see that I shouldn't have been so concerned. Was frustrated with the final exam as I don't recall some of the information being presented and things I thought worthy of an exam question weren't on the exam.

As the presenter acknowledges, 1 hr is not nearly enough time for this topic. Many useful tips but pace is very hurried if a beginner. That said, I've taken about 17 hrs of this presenter's classes (between Proformative and other outlets) and am constantly amazed at how much more there is to know. Another very valuable resource!

This course was very good at showing the basics regarding pivot tables. I appreciated the Slides that came with the course as they are detailed enough to allow a person to remember steps without reviewing the entire course again. The instructor does a good job of repeating and showing the steps as well as going over his slides.

I really enjoyed this class. I used pivot tables everyday but he still showed me several tips and tricks that I hadn't used before. I really appreciated that he took the time to show how to perform the task multiple ways and even showed common mistakes and how to correct them. Definitely recommend this class!

I'm a self-taught, no manual "trial and error" Excel user, who uses "intuition" and experience to create what I have to do. This often leads to long and convoluted steps to get to the final product. I learned a couple of features that basically cut those long convoluted steps to a step or two.

Good course. Mr. Ringstrom goes fast, but having the ability to come back and review important information later will make this course very useful. It would be great to have separate classes for Excel 2003, 2007, 2010 & 2013 so we wouldn't need to learn all four.

Great topic and the course was good for an introduction to Pivot tables. However, for me it was difficult to follow along primarily because the slides were a little too cluttered and also because I have an older version of Excel (v 2008 for MAC).
