Pivot Tables are one of the most powerful tools in Excel’s data analysis and Business Intelligence (BI) armoury. With just a few clicks of the mouse (and no complicated formulas!) you can quickly and easily build the reports, dashboards and charts that help you to summarise, analyse, interpret and understand your data which in turn helps you to spot trends and get answers to the important questions on which you base your key business decisions.
