PIVOT TABLE
A PivotTable is a powerful tool to calculate,
summarize, and analyze data that lets you see
comparisons, patterns, and trends in your data.
PivotTables work a little bit differently depending
on what platform you are using to run Excel.
Create a PivotTable in Excel
1) Select the cells you want to create a PivotTable from.
Note:  Your data should be organized in columns with a single header row.
2) Select Insert > PivotTable.

3) This will create a PivotTable based on

an existing table or range.

Note: Selecting Add this data to the Data Model will

add the table or range being used for this PivotTable into the workbook’s Data Model.
4). 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 select where you want the new PivotTable to
appear.

5). Click ok

How to use a Pivot Table in Excel

A pivot table in Excel is an extraction or resumé of your original
table with source data. A pivot table can provide quick answers to
questions about your table that can otherwise only be answered by
complicated formulas
 EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
Below you’ll find a table with
donations made to a charity
organization in May. Each donation
has an ID and a donor. Each donor
also had a unique ID. Donors can
donate in two ways: they can donate
money without anything in return,
or they can buy a t-shirt. The
payment can be made by credit
card, Paypal or cash and can reach
three different statuses: completed,
failed and abandoned. Last, but not
least, every donation has a value in
Dollars ($).
Step 1 – Insert a Pivot Table
Under ‘Insert’ in the navigation bar, choose
‘PivotTable’.
STEPS 2- SELECT
A RANGE
A popup appears titled
‘Create PivotTable’. Select a 
cell range or table in your
workbook that contains the
source data. In our example
below you see the result of
our selection Table/Range:
Blad1!$A$1:$G$19. Press
‘OK’ when you’re done.
STEP 3- COMPOSE
YOUR PIVOT TABLE

Next you can assemble your

PivotTable in the screen
‘PivotTable Fields’. Ask
yourself which information
you are looking for. In this
example we are looking for
the total amount of
‘Completed’ donations.
In the ‘PivotTable Fields’ box we select ‘Donation • The new table now shows the amount of times each
ID’ and we drag-and-drop it to the ‘Rows’ box. Donation ID appears in the original table. This is,
obviously, once per ID.
Next we drag the field name ‘Status’ to the ‘Columns’ box.
The Pivot Table we’ve created now shows per
donation whether it was completed, abandoned
or failed. We know the sum of donations per
status, but we don’t know the sum of amount per
status yet. To find the answer we’ll select and
drag field name ‘Amount’ to the ‘Values’ box and
we’ll remove the current content (Count of
Donations ID).
N.B. You can remove content by simply dragging
it outside the box (make sure you don’t
accidentally drop it inside another box!)
The final composition of our Pivot Table shows
us that we’ve received a total amount of $710 of
completed donations in May. The other
transactions were either abandoned or failed.
