Creating Your First Pivot Chart
Pivot tables are the most powerful feature in Excel.
A pivot table allows you to summarize a million
records of transactional data in Excel with a few
mouse clicks. A pivot chart is an extension of the
pivot table concept. While building a summary of
your data using a pivot table, you can specify that
the results be presented in a chart. With the result-
ing chart, you can quickly filter to see a summary of
records that match current criteria. You can also
replicate a pivot chart so that you have one chart
for each region, product, customer, and so on.
