Excel Pivot Tables are an absolutely essential tool for anyone working in data analytics or business intelligence.


Pivot Tables allow you to quickly explore and analyze raw data in Excel, revealing powerful insights and trends otherwise buried in the noise. In other words, they give you answers.


Whether you're exploring product sales, analyzing which marketing tactics drove the strongest conversion rates, or wondering how condo prices have trended over the past 10 years, Excel Pivot Tables provide fast, accurate and intuitive solutions to even the most complicated data analytics questions.


This course gives you a deep, 100% comprehensive understanding of Excel Pivot Tables and Excel Pivot Charts. I'll show you when, why, and how to use Excel Pivot Tables, introduce advanced sorting, filtering, and calculation tools, and guide you through interactive, hands-on demos and Excel exercises every step of the way.


We'll start by covering everything you need to know to get up and running with Excel Pivot Tables, including:


  • Raw data structure in Excel

  • Pivot Table layouts & styles

  • Design & formatting options

  • Sorting, filtering, & grouping tools

  • Calculated fields, items & values

We'll then explore and analyze Excel datasets from a number of real-world case studies, including:


  • San Diego burrito ratings

  • Shark attack records from 1900-2016

  • Facebook Post data from Spartan Race

  • Major League Baseball team statistics
