What is Pivot Table?
You can think of a pivot table as a report. However, unlike a static
1 report, a pivot table provides an interactive view of your data.

With very little effort (and no formulas) you can look at the same
2 data from many different perspectives.

You can group data into categories, break down data into years and
3 months, filter data to include or exclude categories, and even build
charts.
