Excel for Beginners: Pivot Tables

This 1-hour, project-based course introduces learners to the powerful pivot table feature of most spreadsheet applications. We’ll be using Excel on the Web in this project, which is the free spreadsheet application offered by Microsoft. However, many of the concepts that you will learn in this project will be applicable to other spreadsheet programs, such as LibreOffice Calc and Google Sheets. We will cover the following concepts in a hands-on manner: - Introduction to the functionality of pivot tables. - Application of pivot tables to quickly summarize large amounts of raw data in detail. - Visualize generated data from pivot tables for accessible information at a glance using charts. Please Note: If you don't have a free Microsoft account, you will need to create one to be able to complete the content.

Either the course was out dated or the cloud EXCEL works differently with Macs. I did not have the ability to resize the charts.

This was confusing a little because my screen didn't match what was shown so I had to find what he was mentioning, but he was an amazing teacher. He was easy to follow and humorous at times!

Very informative and useful course regarding pivot tables and charts. I just felt that the instructor took a lot of time on formatting of the table. Otherwise it was pretty good.
