In Part 2, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, goes beyond the basics of pivot tables. He explains the PivotTable feature, the PowerPivot feature, the Recommended PivotTables feature, and others. After participating in David’s presentation, you’ll know how to create self-updating titles for charts and pivot charts, expand and collapse pivot table elements, drill down into numbers with a simple double-click, and more.
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 used in the course.

Analyze: The ANALYZE tab has several commands that will enable you to explore the data in the PivotTable.
Ctrl-Enter: When you have two or more cells selected in Excel, this keyboard shortcut puts the contents of the first cell in the selection in all selected cells at once.
Design: The DESIGN tab commands will be useful to structure the PivotTable with various report options and style options.
Drill Down: When a user double-clicks on any number within a pivot table, Excel creates a new worksheet that displays the underlying records.
Filter: The Filter feature in Excel allows you to show or hide rows within a list of data by making selections from drop-down lists. The Filter feature is available on the Data tab of all versions of Excel as well under the Sort & Filter command on the Home menu.
GETPIVOTDATA: This feature allows users to craft formulas that refer to specific data within the pivot table, as opposed to a specific cell address, so that formulas maintain integrity even if the pivot table fields are rearranged. This feature can be enabled or disabled as needed.
Go To Special Command: Go To Special is a tool within Microsoft Excel that enables you to quickly select cells of a specified type within your Excel worksheet.
Pivot Table: A report creation tool in Excel that enables you to quickly summarize lists of data into summary reports by clicking checkboxes and dragging fields onscreen.
PivotTable Tools Menu: In the worksheet containing a PivotTable, the Ribbon will contain the PivotTable Tools, with ANALYZE and DESIGN Tabs. The ANALYZE tab has several commands that will enable you to explore the data in the PivotTable. The DESIGN tab commands will be useful to structure the PivotTable with various report options and style options.
Slicer Feature: A visual filtering feature available with pivot tables in Excel 2010 and tables and pivot tables in Excel 2013.
Table Feature : The Table feature in Excel 2007 and later is an improvement on the List feature in Excel 2003 and earlier. The Table feature provides enhancements that make it much easier to analyze lists of data.
Tabular Form: In Tabular Form, each Row field is in a separate column, as you can see in the pivot table below. There are two Row fields -- Customer and Date. The Row labels are not in a separate row.
