context of data processing. Pivot tables are used to summarize,
sort, reorganize, group, count, total or average data stored in a
database/workbook. It allows its users to transform columns
into rows and rows into columns. It allows grouping by any
data field. Pivot tables are the perfect solution when you need

increases, it can become more time consuming to update ranges
of data, functions and formulae. Depending on how you need
to display your results, a pivot table makes it easy to summarise
your data without altering the original location of your data.
Even if more data is added to the spreadsheet, the pivot table
can be quickly updated. Pivot charts can also be created from a
pivot table.

should check that your data is arranged as follows:

You should have at least three columns of data

■ Each column of data should have its unique field heading.


■ Your data should be organized in a tabular format and not have a blank
row between the column headings and the first row of data.
■ Check that the data set also does not have blank rows or columns
■ Review the data to ensure that it has been entered accurately.
