A PivotTable is a powerful tool to calculate, summarize, and analyze data that lets you see comparisons, patterns, and trends in your data.

Create a PivotTable

1. Select the cells you want to create a PivotTable from.

   Note: Your data shouldn't have any empty rows or columns. It must have only a single-row heading.

2. Select Insert > PivotTable.
   
   

3. Under Choose the data that you want to analyze, select Select a table or range.
   

4. In Table/Range, verify the cell range.

5. Under Choose where you want the PivotTable report to be placed, select New worksheet to place the PivotTable in a new worksheet or Existing worksheet and then select the location you want the PivotTable to appear.

6. Select OK.

Building out your PivotTable

1. To add a field to your PivotTable, select the field name checkbox in the PivotTables Fields pane.

   Note: Selected fields are added to their default areas: non-numeric fields are added to Rows, date and time hierarchies are added to Columns, and numeric fields are added to Values.

   

2. To move a field from one area to another, drag the field to the target area.
