Including totals Excel automatically creates subtotals and grand totals in a PivotTable. If the source data contains automatic subtotals and grand totals that you created by using the Subtotals command in the Outline group on the Data tab, use that same command to remove the subtotals and grand totals before you create the PivotTable.
For example, you might maintain a database of sales records you want to summarize and analyze. We recommend that you retrieve external data for your reports by using ODC files. For more information, see Convert PivotTable cells to worksheet formulas.
For example, data from relational databases or text files. For more information, see Create a PivotTable with an external data source. The PivotTable cache Each time that you create a new PivotTable or PivotChart, Excel stores a copy of the data for the report in memory, and saves this storage area as part of the workbook file - this is called the PivotTable cache.
Each new PivotTable requires additional memory and disk space. However, when you use an existing PivotTable as the source for a new one in the same workbook, both share the same cache. Because you reuse the cache, the workbook size is reduced and less data is kept in memory. Location requirements To use one PivotTable as the source for another, both must be in the same workbook.
If the source PivotTable is in a different workbook, copy the source to the workbook location where you want the new one to appear. PivotTables and PivotCharts in different workbooks are separate, each with its own copy of the data in memory and in the workbooks. When you group or ungroup items, or create calculated fields or calculated items in one, both are affected. If you need to have a PivotTable that's independent of another one, then you can create a new one based on the original data source, instead of copying the original PivotTable.
Just be mindful of the potential memory implications of doing this too often. Changes to a PivotChart affect the associated PivotTable, and vice versa. Changes in the source data can result in different data being available for analysis. For example, you may want to conveniently switch from a test database to a production database.
You can update a PivotTable or a PivotChart with new data that is similar to the original data connection information by redefining the source data. If the data is substantially different with many new or additional fields, it may be easier to create a new PivotTable or PivotChart.
Displaying new data brought in by refresh Refreshing a PivotTable can also change the data that is available for display. For PivotTables based on worksheet data, Excel retrieves new fields within the source range or named range that you specified. For reports based on external data, Excel retrieves new data that meets the criteria for the underlying query or data that becomes available in an OLAP cube.
You can view any new fields in the Field List and add the fields to the report. If you created an offline cube that contains a subset of the data in a server cube, you can use the Offline OLAP command to modify your cube file so that it contains different data from the server.

In order to get accurate data, you need to combine the view totals for each of these duplicates.
That's where the pivot table comes into play. Pivot tables are helpful for automatically calculating things that you can't easily find in a basic Excel table. One of those things is counting rows that all have something in common. If you have a list of employees in an Excel sheet, for instance, and next to the employees' names are the respective departments they belong to, you can create a pivot table from this data that shows you each department name and the number of employees that belong to those departments.
The pivot table effectively eliminates your task of sorting the Excel sheet by department name and counting each row manually. Not every dataset you enter into Excel will populate every cell. If you're waiting for new data to come in before entering it into Excel, you might have lots of empty cells that look confusing or need further explaining when showing this data to your manager. That's where pivot tables come in. For large tables of data, being able to tag these cells quickly is a useful feature when many people are reviewing the same sheet.
To automatically format the empty cells of your pivot table, right-click your table and click "PivotTable Options. Now that you have a better sense of what pivot tables can be used for, let's get into the nitty-gritty of how to actually create one.
Every pivot table in Excel starts with a basic Excel table, where all your data is housed. To create this table, simply enter your values into a specific set of rows and columns. Use the topmost row or the topmost column to categorize your values by what they represent.
For example, to create an Excel table of blog post performance data, you might have a column listing each "URL," a column listing each URL's "Post Title," a column listing each post's "Views to Date," and so on. We'll be using that example in the steps that follow. When you have all the data you want entered into your Excel sheet, you'll want to sort this data in some way so it's easier to manage once you turn it into a pivot table.
To sort your data, click the "Data" tab in the top navigation bar and select the "Sort" icon underneath it. In the window that appears, you can opt to sort your data by any column you want and in any order.
To sort your Excel sheet by "Views to Date," for example, select this column title under "Column" and then select whether you want to order your posts from smallest to largest, or from largest to smallest. Select "OK" on the bottom-right of the Sort window, and you'll successfully reorder each row of your Excel sheet by the number of views each blog post has received.
Once you've entered data into your Excel worksheet, and sorted it to your liking, highlight the cells you'd like to summarize in a pivot table.
Click "Insert" along the top navigation, and select the "PivotTable" icon. You can also click anywhere in your worksheet, select "PivotTable," and manually enter the range of cells you'd like included in the PivotTable. This will open an option box where, in addition to setting your cell range, you can select whether or not to launch this pivot table in a new worksheet or keep it in the existing worksheet.
If you open a new sheet, you can navigate to and away from it on the bottom of your Excel workbook. Once you've chosen, click "OK. Alternatively, you can highlight your cells, select "Recommended PivotTables" to the right of the PivotTable icon, and open a pivot table with pre-set suggestions for how to organize each row and column. Note: If you're using a version of Excel earlier than Excel , "PivotTables" may be under "Tables" or "Data" along the top navigation, rather than "Insert.
After you've completed Step 1, Excel will create a blank pivot table for you. In this article, we'll go over the basics of Pivot Tables, explaining what they are and how to use them in practice. Simply defined, a Pivot Table is a tool built into Excel that allows you to summarize large quantities of data quickly and easily.
Given an input table with tens, hundreds, or even thousands of rows, Pivot Tables allow you to extract answers to a series of basic questions about your data with minimal effort. That may all seem a bit abstract, so let's dive into a real-world example to get an idea of what a Pivot Table really is.
Take a look at the below spreadsheet, which is an individual list of SnackWorld's sales to customers by date and item type. The below example only contains twelve rows, but it's important to note that what we're about to discuss also applies to much bigger spreadsheets — our sheet could just as easily contains hundreds or thousands of rows, making it much more difficult to analyze via conventional means.
Let's say that a SnackWorld analyst is tasked with summing up the total dollar sales to each individual customer. The task is urgent, as the SnackWorld CEO wants to see the data for an upcoming presentation that starts in five minutes.
How can the analyst complete the task quickly and easily? Here are some options from techniques and formulas we've already learned:. In the PivotTable Fields area at the top, select the check box for any field you want to add to your PivotTable. By default, non-numeric fields are added to the Rows area, date and time fields are added to the Columns area, and numeric fields are added to the Values area. Corresponding fields in a PivotTable:. You can change the default calculation by first clicking on the arrow to the right of the field name, then select the Value Field Settings option.
Next, change the calculation in the Summarize Values By section. If you click the Number Format button, you can change the number format for the entire field. Tip: Since the changing the calculation in the Summarize Values By section will change the PivotTable field name, it's best not to rename your PivotTable fields until you're done setting up your PivotTable. To refresh the PivotTable, you can right-click anywhere in the PivotTable range, then select Refresh.
