pivot tables

[smiley0q0]

ok, i consider myself farily productive and efficient with excel, i have heard of pivot tables, but have never really gotten into them. a friend the other day said i should look into them and people would be amazed that at what i could do with a pivot table. i have looked at the help files in excel, but what i am looking for is what you can do, some examples, what they are good for and any advantages of using them.

any comments are welcome.

Thank you,
Smiley

Hi,

Your friend is absolutely right, Pivot Tables are great (especially so since Excel 2000). They are hard to explain in "text only mode". I can recommend the following site for a good intro on the subject:
