Pivot Tables are an essential feature if you use Excel to analyse lots of data — it's a favourite here at Happy! You can use Pivot Tables to quickly organise your data into different categories, without affecting the original raw data. They can be used to quickly and easily create dashboards and sub-reports, like the one Nicky creates in the video above.
