Microsoft PivotCharts


Skill Level: Advanced

PivotTable reports are used to summarize, analyze, explore and present large amounts of data.  Once a PivotTable is built, use a PivotChart report to visualize the data, and to easily see comparisons, patterns, and trends. Both a PivotTable report and a PivotChart report enable you to make informed decisions about critical data in your enterprise.

A PivotChart report provides a graphical representation of the data in a PivotTable report.   In this class we will cover the basics of building a PivotChart from an associated PivotTable.  Learn how to select the correct chart type and sub-type.  Learn all of the various filtering options including the filer pane.  We will cover the basics of chart formatting, converting a PivotChart to a standard chart, display/hide levels, show/hide details, renaming fields, and more!
