As a pivot table user, I can definitely say that I can point anyone who has zero knowledge in Pivot table, and he/she would be able to learn how to use Pivot table proficiently just by watching this 10min video. Awesome, I wish I had seen this video when I started learning about Pivot table. :)

[@MatteoTrentin-b9y]

Im about to put that theory to the test, I have an interview for accounting tmr were I need to use pivot tables

[@Tallinguy]

Just so you know sir, many of us who watched this video, send our comments to Microsoft. She does NOT know how to explain this feature. A 14 minute video only begins to sort through the gravity of this feature. This feature alone is given 5.5 hours at Microsoft training in Seattle. I highly recommend seeking out a Certified Microsoft Instructor to begin to learn this feature.

[@akridged]

My head just exploded. I have been working in Excel for YEARS and this is brand new information. I am thinking of all of the time I could have saved if I had known this sooner. Thank you!

[@tom_something]

I've been using pivot tables in Excel for close to fifteen years, but 80% of this video covered stuff I didn't know before. This short video is jam-packed with so much useful information!

So yours is probably the 30th Excel YT video I've watched. It's the 4th or 5th one on Pivot Tables. I had to stop at the 3:45 mark to tell you that yours is BY FAR the most informative, easiest to understand--and most importantly, you don't assume the viewers already know about half the information as almost every other presenter assumes. You act as if you truly want viewers to understand the content. Crazy approach, but I'll go along. Thank you for the effort and clarity

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you for the kind feedback! I definitely do want you to understand the content :)

[@goldennuggetinfo8468]

Reading the comments from seasoned Excel users, I am glad this is the first video I’ve come across, to learn about Pivot Tables

[@kristinal.5934]

I just did my first pivot table for my new employer. Thank you for this video! I learned it could be done when I didn't have the data to work with. I decided to give it a try, under a timeline. Simply amazing! That is all I can say. Other than my sincere thanks to you for your teaching it so well!

[@tbtb9598]

Thanks for the many videos about Excel. Excel is by far my favorite application. It’s also the most frequently used in my work. I’ve learned so much from your tutorials, making my work so much more efficient and more effective.

Senior citizen here. Knew the basics long ago, but just started new job and realized how far behind I am. Thanks for creating a thoughtful, paced easy to understand tutorial. I'll be right back in the saddle after I finish your amazing classes!

[@LeilaGharani]

Great! Good luck with the new job!

[@JeffDrakeX]

Okay, I’ve got to hand it to you: this is good stuff. One of my biggest pet peeves is people using a spreadsheet as a database, and that’s still a really bad idea; but this feature is actually a pretty good argument for why someone might want to export data to Excel. There’s nothing here that a real database-driven application couldn’t do, but the fact that the average user can do it on the fly is pretty dang impressive.

[@l8dyacgaming]

Hello Leila, I just want to say thank you for all your Excel videos. This summer I started my first Accounting internship and I must say that all your videos have allowed me to do data analysis much more easier and faster and this has gained me favor with my superiors. Keep up the amazing work.

How to use I FOR REFRESHING DATA, I HAVE USING BUT NOT AMY RESPONSE PLZ HELP ME ANYONE

[@stevosteve]

Brilliant tutorial. I have been told for years by various people how good Pivot Tables are, but every time I asked for a demo or training session nothing happened. Today I finally thought to myself . . . . . 'Google, help me !' and in less than 15mins thanks to Leila and KZbin I have found the answer to my question 'How can PT's help me', and I have within the next 15mins I have applied your tutorial to a copy of my existing sandboxed data as successful tests. It was lucky for me that for years I have created data sheets using a formalised manner that worked for me 'out of the box' to implementing Pivot Tables. A big thank you.

[@Tallinguy]

unfortunately she skips many steps and goes way too fast to understand this feature!

[@jaykville]

She is literally one of the best on KZbin. The examples are real world and the explanations are surprisingly easy to follow. At least twice a week I send someone a link to her channel when asked how to do something in excel.

[@sandravukovic2901]

Great video, as always. One thing to consider is that copying one pivot table to make another one means you will be using the same pivot cash, just like you said, which also means you will keep your file considerably smaller if you have a big data set.

[@sgarcata]

tip: it's "cache" , not "cash" - guess we borrowed the term from the French...

This is BY FAR the best video about pivot tables. Other videos left me feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information leading up to the creation of a pivot table. Your checklist of required info before creating a pivot table is so helpful, and I especially like how you explained the importance of turning the data set into a table first. I was never taught this before. I also like how you showed the "Recommend PivotTables"feature. Thank you so much for creating this video!

Leila. I have not used Pivottables in many years but I recall an advantage of copying the pivottable to create a new one is that it minimizes file size (I believe a hidden copy of the underlying data is created for each new pivottable, but basing a "new" table on an old one prevents that).

Cool video! I loved the "sections" on the video playback timeline, they're so helpful! Could you help me with a quick question? If I have a table with 100 rows, and I want to paste a new report that has 80 rows, is there any way to do that without leaving those previous 20 rows at the end? Right now I delete everything in the table before pasting a new report. Thanks!

[@TheGambleru]

Hey Ricardo! Let's assume you have your data in range A2:F101 (first row is the header). Just paste your new report on A102:F182 and then delete the first report (rows 2:101). That way, your table still references the correct dataset and you only need to refresh the pivot. What you're asking can probably be achieved via VBA, but I don't think it's worth the hassle.
