How to learn Pivot Tables 1

[mbusa]

I need to dump data from a database to excel pivot tables for Business reports. I have never worked with them before so was wondering where to start off from. The simple tutorials on the web dont seem to be of much help.

Can anyone suggest a good book about Pivot Tables. An online guide would be acceptable too provided it is in depth and charges a moderate fee.

have a look at this site:

http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Pivots/pivotstart.htm

It seems like a pretty thorough explanation.

Hi,

Play around with PT examples. Get familiar with their capabilities. Experiment. Do a search on this site. Try different things.

Experience, experience, experience!
