With Microsoft Excel for Mac, creating a pivot table is easily achieved in just a few steps using the toolbar. No formulas or shortcuts necessary! Step 1: The original data. For this example our data for the pivot table will be in Sheet 1. Step 2: Select the cell where you want the pivot table to appear. We are going to use A1 on Sheet2. Data tables enable you to enter a series of possible values that Excel 2016 then plugs into a single formula. A one-variable data table substitutes a series of.

One major benefit of using Excel tables is that you can refer to table columns in your formulas using the table and column names which makes your formulas easier for you to interpret. In the columns A through D over on the left side of the worksheet, you can see that I have a table. I have four columns, Year, Quarter, Month, and Sales, and my goal is to create a formula that finds the total of the values in the Sales column.
So I could type a formula such as equal sum left parantheses and then identify the cell range of D2 and type a colon and scroll down and I see that my last row with data is row 25, so I'll scroll back up. So I have D2 to D25, right parentheses and I get 7.5 million. Now this is a perfectly legitimate way of creating a formula. But, if I click cell G2 and take a look at the formula on the formula bar I see that I'm finding the sum of D2 to D25 but it doesn't tell me anything about the data.
Now this is a simple worksheet so I can just look to the left and see, Okay, it's sales data. And it's easy enough to figure out on its own. But if I want to make the formula a little bit more readable, for example, for data that is separated widely from the formula that summarizes it, I can use what's called a table or structured reference. To do that I first need to find out what the name of this Excel table is. So I'll click any cell in the table, I'll just click C4 for convenience, and then I will go up to the ribbon and click the Table contextual tab.
On that tab if I look all the way to the left I can see the Table Name box. And that tells me that the name of this table is Sales Data. So now I have enough information to go forward and create my formula. So once again I'll click cell G2, type an equal sign, and I'll type sum and a left parentheses. But now I can type in the name of the table and that was Sales Data. As soon as I type S-A-L I see Sales Data in the formula auto complete list so I'll press the Tab key.
Now I need to refer to the column, and that columns name is Sales. So I'll type a left square bracket and then S-A-L-E-S. Or I could have used the formula auto complete value. Then I'll type a right square bracket to close out that reference and a right parentheses to close out the formula. Now when I press Enter I get exactly the same result, but when I click cell G2 and look at the formula bar, I see a much more informative formula. Instead of having to figure out what cells D2 through D25 represent, I know that it's sales data and that it's probably a number. Practice while you learn with exercise files.

In most cases, your data needs to be laid out as a data list and the best form of a data list is an excel table.
In this movie, I will show you how to prepare your data for use in a pivot table and my sample file is the data prep Excel workbook, which you can find in the chapter one folder of the exercise files collection. When you create a pivot table, your source data must be laid out as a data list or a table. On the worksheet here, you can see that I have five columns of data, those are Year, Quarter, Month, Room Type, and Revenue, and also, I have data broken down in rows, and each row contains a value for each of the columns. That's not strictly necessary, but it helps when you're analyzing your data.
So you can see in the top row, which is row two in the worksheet, is for the 2014 year, quarter one, the month January, room type of Cambridge, and. Practice while you learn with exercise files.
