[@tetley69]

Leila, I have to say that I find the way you teach, talk and explain things absolutely perfect. I find most tutorials online hard to follow and/or not explained properly. But the way you teach, I feel any user of any level of expertise will both benefit and learn from. You don't rush, you are soft spoken, you move at a perfect pace and I find that I look forward to learning more from you from your other videos. I just wanted to congratulate you on a job well done and I thank you for putting these videos out here for others to learn from. Thank you again.

Hey, can u please help me with this question... ‌Imagine u r working on a data set that has 20 Call quality Parameters arranged vertically in 20 columns, with 250 entries, from 20 Agents who report to 5 TLs who in turn report to 2 Managers. In four steps explain how you present manager wise Data & TL wise data seperately. Please do help, it's really very important for me!

[@rajkumarbalasubramaniam7232]

I agree 100%

[@Brainslab25]

@@naveedwantt2846 This is what ChatGPT says about your question: 1. Sort the data set by Manager and TL columns, so that all the entries for each Manager and TL are grouped together. 2. Use the "Group" function to create separate groups for each Manager and TL. 3. Use the "Sum" function to calculate the total for each Call Quality parameter for each group. 4. Use the "Pivot Table" function to create separate tables for Manager and TL wise data, with the Call Quality parameters as rows and the Manager/TL names as columns.

Hi Leila. Some great tips in there.. thanks for sharing them! One I can add.. when you drill down to see the underlying details of a particular Pivot Table cell, if you want just a temporary quick look, you can then delete the created drill down worksheet with CTRL+z. Saves a little time vs. other methods of worksheet deletion such as: right click, delete, confirm delete. Thanks again for all your tips :)) Thumbs up!!

[@robrayborn1349]

You are always so clever! I've been working with Pivot Tables for years and didn't know about a 3rd of what you presented. Probably should mention that when you double click on a cell in a pivot table you will only get the first 1,000 rows of that detail. If your original data is > 1,000 rows of data then not all will be present when you double click on the cell.

[@barttitulaerexcelbart9400]

Thanks Rob, this is called drill down...

[@amolj2249]

Thanks for this important point. Actually I am facing a problem with sum mismatch between pivot table sum and original data table sum. My data table is 8000+ rows. So is this reason why pivot is not working...

Another advanced pivot table technique to cover is report connections:- Use case: add report connections to the timeline so that all connected reports will be updated with the same timeline. This works with all pivot table slicers too.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks for sharing!

[@maxamdxasan9462]

Liela, Actually, I have appreciated the way you have explained the pivot tables with good guidance, and I hope someone who watched your videos' will never need teaching about how the pivot tables work. I would like to say thanks you for your teaching us, and I wish you all the best.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@joebateman9668]

The one extra tip I would add is, when inserting a pivot table check the "add to data model". This allows you to write Dax measures.

[@davida56891]

Selecting data model also lets you do distinct counts. Very useful if you have duplicate items in a column but you want to count each item only once.

[@TexasGunDude]

I recently changed careers from an electronic technician to a business analysist. You videos and Udemy courses have been very beneficial.
