Excel Pivot Tables Course
Pivot tables are a powerful feature in Excel that enable you to manipulate data with simple dragging and dropping. Pivot tables allow you to sort, filter, group, count, summate, and format data easily and efficiently. Unlike our other Excel courses, this class focuses specifically on Pivot Tables. Students will work heavily on hands-on activities with an instructor to explore the variety of features within Pivot Tables and tackle different scenarios for when to use them.
Our pivot table training builds off of topics contained in our Excel Intro and Intermediate courses. Although not required, we do highly recommend that students take Excel Advanced beforehand to receive a general overview before delving deep into pivot tables.
