Many Excel users are not familiar with, or are intimidated by Pivot Tables, one of the most powerful features in Excel. This page describes elementary Pivot Tables. A pivot table is a great reporting tool that sorts and sums independent of the original data layout in the spreadsheet.
A pivot table is a table that summarizes data in another table, and is made by applying an operation such as sorting, averaging, or summing to data in the first table, typically including grouping of the data. A trivial example is a column of numbers as the first table, and the column average as a pivot table with only one row and column.
